The Republic of South Korea strongly condemns the recent acts of aggression carried out by Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Brazil. What the world has witnessed is not a conventional act of war between nations, but a series of calculated attacks that crossed every moral and legal boundary recognized by the international community.
Nuclear weapons were used against civilian towns. Innocent people — citizens with no role in the conflict — became targets. Homes, infrastructure, and entire communities were devastated in moments. These are not the actions of honorable nations defending their interests. These are the actions of those who have chosen fear, destruction, and chaos over integrity and justice.
War, even in its harshest form, has rules. It has limits. Nations that respect those limits fight with honor, strategy, and responsibility. What we have witnessed instead is an attempt to wage an unfair war through terror — a war aimed not only at soldiers, but at the very fabric of civilian life.
South Korea stands firmly with its allies — Bulgaria, China, and Serbia. Together, we recognize these acts for what they are: war crimes and deliberate attempts to destabilize the international order. The use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations is a crime that history will never ignore.
Let it be clear: South Korea does not seek unnecessary conflict, but neither will we stand idle while such crimes are committed. Justice must prevail, and those responsible for these actions must face the consequences of their decisions.
Our nation has endured hardship before, and we know the cost of war. That is why we value peace — but peace cannot exist without accountability.
To those responsible for these attacks: the world is watching. History is watching. And justice will come.
The Republic of South Korea will stand strong.
We will stand with our allies.
And we will defend the principles that protect nations and their people.
For justice.
For peace.
For South Korea.
