In some ways hydrogen makes more sense than electric if you have something like hydro or nuclear power to make the needed hydrogen:

Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun and Toyota Motor Chairman Akio Toyoda met in public for the first time, Sunday, implying that the rival carmakers may work together to strengthen their global alliance for hydrogen mobility.
Their meeting took place during the Hyundai N x Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival, co-hosted by the two carmakers at the Everland Speedway in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
Beginning with Toyoda’s performance driving of a car carrying Chung, the festival kicked off to showcase high-performance cars of both companies and to attract more people to enjoy motorsports. Toyoda is a master driver who races for his company’s Gazoo Racing Team under the name “Morizo.”
Hyundai Motor also invited Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hankook & Company Chairman Cho Hyun-bum to the event.

Eventually the current conflict in the Middle East will once again end with a so called diplomatic solution before each side rearms and does it all over again a few years later:
South Korea expressed “deep concern” Sunday over Israel’s recent attack on Iran, calling on all parties to seek a diplomatic solution to the situation.
Early Saturday, Israel’s military conducted strikes against various targets in Iran, including missile manufacturing facilities, in response to Iran’s missile attack earlier this month, according to foreign media reports.
“Our government expresses deep concern over the series of tension-escalating acts, including Israel’s attack on Iran,” foreign ministry spokesperson Lee Jae-woong said.
Lee called on all the parties to break away from the “cycle of attack and retaliation,” calling diplomacy the only solution.

The big question is whether the ROK will provide advanced military weapons to Ukraine for free or for sale:
President Yoon Suk Yeol said Thursday that South Korea could consider providing arms to Ukraine, depending on the extent of military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, vowing not to “sit idle” in response to Pyongyang’s troop dispatch to Russia.
Yoon made the remarks after a summit with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Seoul, during which both leaders strongly condemned North Korea’s troop dispatch to Russia and agreed to strengthen joint responses to growing security threats.

What is Russia going to do, fund the North Korean regime and assist them with their missile programs? They are already doing this:
Russia’s foreign ministry warned Wednesday that South Korea could face “security consequences” if it gets involved in the war in Ukraine, as Seoul has vowed to take “phased” measures in response to growing military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow.
Maria Zakharova, the ministry’s spokesperson, issued the warning as Seoul announced its plan Tuesday to take the measures following its spy agency’s confirmation that Pyongyang plans to dispatch around 10,000 soldiers to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, including some 1,500 troops that it has already sent.
“They should think about the security consequences if it gets involved in the Ukrainian crisis,” she said during a press briefing through an English-language interpreter. “The Russian Federation will react on those aggressive steps, if our citizens are under threats, under peril.”
