South Korean Government Says It Does Not Recognize Russian Annexation of Ukrainian Territory

South Korea has joined with the vast majority of the world to condemn Russia’s attempted annexation of territory within Ukraine:

The South Korean government said Saturday it does not recognize Russia’s recent annexation of Ukrainian territory as legitimate while strongly condemning Moscow’s invasion of the eastern European country.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed treaties to annex four regions in Ukraine, following referendums in the territory late last month.

“The Korean government strongly condemns Russia’s armed invasion against Ukraine as a violation of the principles of the U.N. Charter,” foreign ministry spokesperson Lim Soo-suk said in a statement.

“The Korean government does not recognize the referenda held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson and Russia’s annexation of the Ukrainian territory as legitimate.”

US just bought $4 billon worth of ammos from Korea probably to give to Ukraine. US must be getring desperate as they scrape the barrel. Korea should jack up the price by twice.

Hopefully those selfish people in Florida donate some money to the federal government so they can give it to Ukraine.

Well… after they buy some medical care for illegal aliens.

America is broken… and some of you are responsible for breaking it.

Anyway…

I was looking into aid to Ukraine… not the most transparent thing.

But I learned America is giving them some brand new weapons systems!

That sounds useful.

But if you look a little deeper…

…they are not going to be sent just exactly right now.

…because…

…they haven’t been built yet.

And since we know Ukraine isn’t going to need them by the time they are completed… well… it looks like America is really just sending aid to a defense contractor.

I guess that is better than sending it to Ukraine?

When I have some time, I’m going to tell you what is actually going on in Ukraine and what is going to happen between now and spring.

Hint: Russia just mobilized 300,000 reservists to take over domestic bases so professional soldiers can go to the front. And they are really, really good at winter warfare. And that is not the worst news for Ukraine.
