Two billion won (approximately $1.6 million) worth of military goods, such as bulletproof vests, helmets, medical supplies and dry rations, will be sent from next week. Deliveries will be carried out by civil flights to Europe. In March, Seoul already supplied Ukraine with military goods worth one billion won (approximately $816,000).
