Russian president delivered the warning after Seoul announced it would consider arming Kyiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday warned South Korea that sending lethal weapons to Ukraine would be a “big mistake.”

His comments come after Seoul announced it would consider arming Ukraine in response to Russia and North Korea signing a mutual defense pact on Wednesday.

“If South Korea supplies weapons to Ukraine, it will not like the answer. I hope they won’t do it, it would be a big mistake,” Putin said at a press conference in Vietnam, where he is conducting a two-day state visit aimed at deepening strategic cooperation.

      It would be a mistake to send this amount of material. We should double the shipment. Hell, triple it.

    At this point he should just shut up. If Putins tells someone to not do something it is very likely that it is the exact thing they ought to do.

        It’s not. You don’t have to play the K-Pop USB sticks, but you sure as hell can’t avoid smelling the shit NK drops on your house.

    Putin pledged military aid to South Korea’s greatest enemy, but then throws a hissy fit when South Korea considers military aid fir Ukraine in response. I’m sick of seeing the world being run by idiotic toddlers.

      Like most tyrants, they purge critical minds and leave yes men. It increasingly skews their perception of reality and leaves them to think they’re far smarter than they really are. Putin is so fucked lol.

      Seriously dude, it seems no one in Russia has any balls. I was told Russia was a country in despair. Where are all the suicidal folk with a chip on their shoulder?

        This is how dictators exist. The valuables they are stealing from their country get reinvested not just to their personal enrichment but also enriching those people key to keeping them in power, from bodyguard to security departments that spend most of their time monitoring citizens for wrong think.
