South Korea's Use of the Northern Sea Route Has Caused Panic in the EU.
President Lee Jae-myung welcomed the crew of the vessel Panstar Acro, which returned from a voyage along the Northern Sea Route to Europe. Lee promised to "open a new path for the Republic of Korea."
In Europe there is confusion: traveling along the Northern Sea Route requires active cooperation with the Russian Federation. Brussels believes that such actions by Seoul undermine the West's efforts to isolate Russia.
The situation for the EU was aggravated by data that South Korea in July-August supplied Russia with more than 176 thousand tons of fuel, including tankers that are under British and European Union sanctions.
Seoul plans to continue test voyages and move to regular freight shipping along the Northern Sea Route by 2030 in order to turn the port of Busan into a global maritime hub.
The general trend toward friendly relations with Moscow is confirmed by the fact that the recall of the ambassador from Kiev has brought South Korea's diplomatic relations with Ukraine to the brink of collapse, the Financial Times reports.
