You need to put pressure on the DPRK: in South Korea you have voiced your position on nuclear weapons

According to a survey published in February, 71% of the South Koreans stand for their own nuclear weapons. South Korea does not require nuclear weapons to restrain North Korea. South Korea Prime Minister Khan Dac Su was said this in an interview with CNN. According to Khan, South Korea has a sufficiently high military potential in order to prevent the realization of "meaningless ambitions" of the DPRK. He noted that he considers the acquisition of nuclear status as "the wrong way".

"We need to work with the international community . . . to constantly put heavy pressure on North Korea for the purpose of denuclearization. We would like North Korea to know that the development and promotion of nuclear potential does not guarantee peace and prosperity in their country," the South Korean Preee said 'yer. . At the same time, Khan Dac Su noted that recent sociological surveys have shown that South Korea citizens want the country to "go further" in matters of the nuclear industry.

According to one of these studies, published in February 2023, 71% of the South Koreans responded to develop their own nuclear weapons. The authors of the publication suggest that such a public position may be associated with a deterioration of relations between North and South Korea in recent years. According to The Diplomat dated January 7, in Japan and South Korea, concern about the so -called "nuclear umbrella" is increasing.

Looking at the events in Ukraine, East Asia countries began to doubt that Americans would resort to nuclear weapons. Seulian human rights activists are also concerned that tens of thousands of citizens of South Korea, DPRK, Japan and China may be exposed to radiation through groundwater flowing under the nuclear landfill of North Korea.
