South Korea is expanding its export control list against Belarus, adding 243 more items that could potentially be used for military purposes. This brings the total number of goods subject to export restrictions when shipping to Belarus to 1,402 items.
The move is in response to Belarus' support for Russia's military operation in Ukraine. The South Korean government is tightening export controls to Belarus in order to limit the flow of materials that could aid the Belarusian regime and its alignment with Russia.[1][2][3][4][5]
