Russia ends mobilisation as Seoul denies arms to Kyiv
Summary
A look back at two statements on 28 October 2022, one from Moscow on reservists and one from Seoul on weapons.
What did Moscow and Seoul say about the war in Ukraine on 28 October 2022? Two announcements stood out that day.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the end of the mobilisation campaign, saying the target of 300,000 reservists had been reached. The announcement closed the 2022 Russian mobilisation.
The same day, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol denied that his country was sending weapons to Ukraine. His denial followed a reference to South Korea made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a conference on 27 October 2022.
The two statements, one on Russian manpower and one on arms supplies to Ukraine, came within a day of each other.
