Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky requested military supplies from South Korea on Monday to aid his country's fight against the ongoing Russian invasion.

According to reports, Zelensky made the plea in a virtual address to South Korean MPs, stating that Ukraine requires a variety of military technologies, including planes and tanks. "Ukraine can benefit from the assistance of the Republic of Korea. South Korea has a number of military assets that can thwart Russian ships and missiles "he stated

He expressed gratitude to South Korea for its aid thus far, but underlined that more will be required if his country is to survive and win the war.

"I'd like it if the Republic of Korea could assist us in our fight against Russia... If Ukraine acquires such weapons, it will not only save ordinary people's lives, but it will also be a chance to save Ukraine, and not only Ukraine, but other nations from Russian assault." For 15 minutes, Zelensky discussed the circumstances in his country, including the anticipated deaths of "at least tens of thousands" of people in Mariupol, which is under siege.

He cautioned that Russia is unconcerned about the number of deaths and will go to whatever length to isolate the country from the international banking system unless the international community comes together.

"Every country has the right to self-determination. Every city has the right to live in peace. Everyone has the right not to perish in a war. This is the cause for which we are fighting. As we stand up to Russia, I invite you to join us in this effort." Before wrapping off his remarks, Zelensky requested that the MPs watch a short video shot by a journalist in Mariupol.
