President Moon Condemns Russian Invasion of Ukraine; South Korea to Implement Sanctions

Here is the latest from President Moon on the full invasion the Russians have launched on Ukraine:

 President Moon Jae-in said Thursday that South Korea will join international sanctions against Russia as he expressed regret over Russia’s attack on Ukraine, saying any use of armed force causing human casualties cannot be justified.

Moon also instructed the government to do everything possible to ensure the safety of South Korean nationals in Ukraine after he was briefed on the crisis in the wake of Russia’s attack, said Park Soo-hyun, senior presidential secretary for public communication.

“The use of armed forces causing human casualties cannot be justified under any circumstances. Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence must be guaranteed. Any dispute between countries should be resolved not through war but through dialogue and negotiation,” Moon was quoted as saying.

“As a responsible member of the international community, the Republic of Korea expresses support for international efforts, including economic sanctions, aimed at curbing armed invasion and resolving the situation peacefully, and will take part in them,” he said, referring to South Korea’s official name.
