Russian claims that Ukraine tried to assassinate Putin a ‘false flag operation’: Robert O’Brien

Former national security adviser Robert O’Brien explains that the attack is ‘inconsistent’ with Ukrainian military tactics and says a small drone would not be a feasible way to attack Vladimir Putin.

South Korea has agreed to provide $130 million in financial aid to Ukraine, days after the country’s first lady visited the nation as it continues to battle Russian forces within its borders. 

South Korea’s finance ministry said Minister Choo Kyung-ho and Ukrainian Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko signed the agreement on the package, which will consist of donations and aid loans, during a conference in Seoul, Reuters reported. 

South Korea noted that it was not providing lethal weapons to Ukraine, citing its relations with Russia.

Ukraine has sought military and financial aid from a number of countries as its forces continue to battle the Russian military amid drone, rocket and surface-to-air missile attacks.

The Biden administration provided Ukraine with nearly $40 billion in military aid since Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022.
