Moscow, February 22 /Xinhua/ — Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova noted on Saturday that if the Republic of Korea (ROK) joins NATO's so-called PURL (Priority Needs List of Ukraine) initiative, Russia will be forced to exercise its right to retaliatory measures, including asymmetric ones.
As reported on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website, M. Zakharova stated that South Korea's possible involvement in such supplies, in any form, direct or indirect, only delays the prospects for a conflict resolution. This would undoubtedly cause irreparable damage to Russia-South Korea relations and destroy any prospects for restoring constructive dialogue on the Korean Peninsula.
Kazakh media, citing a source in the country's government, reported that Kazakh authorities are exploring the possibility of joining the PURL program. –0–
