The US will send Kiev military equipment sourced from its forces deployed in South Korea to Ukraine, the US Forces Korea (USFK) stated on Thursday.

According to USFK spokesperson Col. Isaac Taylor, "The Department of Defense continues to provide military assistance from its inventories in support of Ukraine. United States Forces Korea has been requested to support this effort by providing some of its equipment."

"This has zero impact on our operations and our ability to execute on our ironclad commitment to the defense of our ally, the Republic of Korea. There should be no doubt that we remain ready to 'fight tonight'," he added.
