Fevralda 20, as reported by Yonhap News Agency, South Korea is set to enforce new export control regulations starting from February 24. The revised “33rd Batch of Strategic Materials Import and Export Notice” expands the “comprehensive control” list to 1,159 items, including heavy construction machinery, secondary batteries, machine tools, and aircraft parts.

This development underscores the potential complexities arising from South Korea’s participation in international sanctions and its implications on diplomatic ties with Russia.
