SEOUL, March 10 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean military enthusiasts have stepped up to help Ukraine.
The enthusiasts have begun donating combat uniforms, helmets and combat boots, as seen on Twitter and other social media platforms.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Seoul did not make any public requests for donations of military equipment.
However, the embassy told individual inquirers that it would accept donations of bulletproof helmets and other military equipment.
Word soon got out on social media, with a series of donations from around the country ensuing.
As supplying military weapons is prohibited on a national level, individuals are stepping up to send non-lethal military equipment to Ukraine.
Donations can be made directly at the embassy or through parcel delivery. Items will be checked and categorized at the embassy before they are sent to Ukraine.
South Korean companies have also joined the donation spree.
Load Max Gear Tactical, a local tactical gear company, donated 1 million won (US$814)-worth of bulletproof jackets, gun slings and magazine pouches to the embassy.

Putin is bringing in,Syrians in UKR
What is the Putin plan here ?
Using Arab Baathist fighters in UKR ?
Using the Chechens and the Arabs as the front line – with Russian forces 10-15 kms behind – providing drone,ART and Missile cover – is the plan.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE REAL STORY !
The aim is TO PIT MUSLIMS AGAINST CHRISTIANS in UKR – and then,there are bound to be massacres,beheadings,body mutilations,sacrilege and killings – and that will start the war of Islam Vs Western Christianity (minus Russia),and also,combined with food shortages in GCC,force GCC not TO OFFSET THE OIL EMBARGO ON RUSSIA ! dindooohindoo
The FACT is that the popular view in Arabia , is that the DESTRUCTION OF IRAQ and SYRIA, and the planned attack on Persia, is a conspiracy by the Christian WEST.THE TRUTH IS IRRELEVANT
So there will be many Arabs who will fight for Russia against US proxies in UKR – and there will be several Muslims in the West and GCC,who will fight against Russia,in UKR.
EU HAS IMPOSED A BAN ON RUSSIAN STEEL AND IRON !
The Key is China !
PRC imports billions of tons of iron ore !
They will use Russian Ore,at discounted rates !
PRC is a steel exporter – but has a large number of steel units,which import coal and iron,from Aussie. PRC does NOT want to fund Aussie ! And PRC wants to shut down steel plants ,to save power and pollution.
Therefore,PRC can import Russian steel,at discounted rates.So Chinese Steel companies will EXPORT TO EU,at HIGH RATES – but USE RUSSIAN STEEL,FOR LOCAL DEMAND !
WIN-WIN !
SO THE KEY IS WHAT CHINA WILL DO ? dindooohindoo
IMPORTING RUSSIAN STEEL AND ORE – PROVIDES THE EXCUSE TO PBOC TO REMIT TO RUSSIA AND THE SUPER PROFITS TO CHINESE STEEL ON EXPORTS TO RUSSIA – CAN ALSO BE PASSED BACK TO RUSSIA !
SOONER OR LATER – NATO/US AND EU – WILL HAVE TO TACKLE THE ONLY PLAYER – PRC !
EU sanctions will not work now – unless EU sanctions Chinese and other companies,who are trading with PRC.
That is the NEXT LEVEL of the sanctions
That is the CRUX and the TEST.If Chinese companies are sanctioned – then Emperor Xi ,will take note !
As of today,the Russia sanctions are pushing up prices in the market and thus BUILDING THE CASE FOR CHINESE TO BUY FROM RUSSIA AS 60-70% OF MARKET RATES – AS A WAY TO REDUCE COSTS and also get an edge in the markets, as the competitors of Chinese companies,are buying the materials, at market rates.
There is no need for SWIFT or CIPS as PRC and Russia can do BARTER TRADES – as barter is the best way to bypass SWIFT and sanctions.
In fact,Russian companies can get equity swaps in Chinese rare earths and Chinese can take equity in Nickel,Coal,Steel and Oil and Gas in Russia
And then,Russia can choke the rare earth exports to US and EU – as a sanction response by Russia !
