It\u2019s not immediately clear whether the deal opens the possibility of South and North Korean artillery being fired against each other in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has aligned with Russia over the war in Ukraine while also blaming the United States for the crisis, insisting that the West\u2019s \u201chegemonic policy\u201d has forced Russia to take military action to protect its security interests. However, Pyongyang has repeatedly denied U.S. claims that it has been sending large supplies of artillery shells and other ammunition to Russia, accusing the Biden administration of a smear campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts say North Korea has the potential to become a major source of munitions for Russia, considering the interoperability of their weapons systems based on Soviet roots. They say that the North, which has used the distraction created by the war to ramp up missile tests to a record pace, could seek to receive in return Russian fuel and technology transfers to further advance its military capabilities as it pursues more powerful missiles and nuclear warheads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until now,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-europe-south-korea-seoul-6320ab452a94b976d1a19e7ef8b4af3c\" target=\"_blank\">South Korea had previously limited its support for Ukraine<\/a>&nbsp;to non-lethal equipment and supplies. In April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed South Korea to provide lethal arms after Russia\u2019s attack on Mariupol. Seoul\u2019s Defense Ministry confirmed at the time that it had rejected the Ukrainian request for anti-aircraft weapons, citing the South Korean government\u2019s principle of sending only non-lethal aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International security experts have said both&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-technology-seoul-moscow-491ad47f3d26b441953a7319838817b9\" target=\"_blank\">North Korea and South Korea maintain vast stockpiles<\/a>&nbsp;of ammunition due to the decades-long tensions along their heavily fortified and militarized shared border.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/asia-pacific\/2022\/11\/02\/north-korea-covertly-shipping-artillery-to-russia-says-white-house\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22251862451771.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">North Korea covertly sending artillery to Russia, White House says<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The White House did not provide evidence to support the new accusations or answer questions about how many weapons were involved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement, Army Lt. Col. Marty Meiners, a Pentagon spokesman, said the U.S. government has been in discussions to buy ammunition from South Korea\u2019s non-government defense industrial base. The ammunition would not come from South Korean military stocks. He declined to provide details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meiners said any potential sales always take into account the South Korean military\u2019s readiness and requirements and \u201cwill not detract from our defensive posture or readiness to respond against regional threats.\u201d He added that South Korea\u2019s defense industry regularly sells military equipment and weapons systems to allies and partners, including the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea has also inked several recent arms deals with European countries eager to bolster their defenses in the wake of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, including almost $9 billion in multiple contracts with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-technology-poland-andrzej-duda-armed-forces-b3388990ced76aa7a2695472d52c5c43\" target=\"_blank\">Poland<\/a>&nbsp;to provide F-16 fighter jets, training aircraft, tanks and howitzers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ammunition deal was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/south-korea-to-sell-arms-to-u-s-for-ukraine-11668116294?mod=hp_lead_pos7\" target=\"_blank\">first reported by the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meiners said he could not provide information on how quickly the ammunition could get to Ukraine. He said the Pentagon has regular conversations with South Korea and other allies around the world about how best to support Ukraine in the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revelation of the agreement came as Russia said it was beginning to withdraw its forces from the key city of Kherson. Ukrainian officials acknowledged Moscow\u2019s troops had no choice but to flee Kherson, yet they remained cautious, fearing an ambush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kherson was the only provincial capital Moscow captured after invading Ukraine in February. A Russian withdrawal would mark a serious setback for Moscow, while giving Ukraine a critical launching pad for supplies and troops to aid its effort to win back other lost territory in the south, including Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>AP writer Kim Tong-hyung contributed to the story from Seoul, South Korea.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. official says the U.S. will buy 100,000 rounds of howitzer artillery rounds from South Korean manufacturers to provide to Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":107478,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,22,8,23,89,12,26],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1354,4032],"class_list":["post-74771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-disaster","category-flashpoints","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RHOFYCEVFBB7HDYF4S2BJZ4744","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2022\/11\/11\/us-to-buy-south-korean-howitzer-rounds-to-send-to-ukraine\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US to buy South Korean howitzer rounds to send to Ukraine - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A U.S. official says the U.S. will buy 100,000 rounds of howitzer artillery rounds from South Korean manufacturers to provide to Ukraine.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US to buy South Korean howitzer rounds to send to Ukraine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A U.S. official says the U.S. will buy 100,000 rounds of howitzer artillery rounds from South Korean manufacturers to provide to Ukraine.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/flashpoints\/2022\/11\/11\/us-to-buy-south-korean-howitzer-rounds-to-send-to-ukraine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Navy Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-11-11T02:54:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T15:08:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
