News24 | 'Impeachment train has left the platform': South Korea chief arrested, president's office raided
Wednesday, 11 December 2024 () South Korea's police chief became the latest top official to be arrested, Yonhap news agency said, in a widening investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law.
South Korea's opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, will push for another impeachment vote against President Yoon Suk-yeol. Protests grow as critics denounce Yoon's martial law declaration.
Russia expressed concern over the unfolding political crisis in South Korea, following President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief declaration of martial law and subsequent reversal. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Moscow was monitoring the "tragic situation" in South Korea, but reassured that there were no threats to Russian citizens in the country. Zakharova also pointed to the "provocative actions" of the United States and its allies as contributing factors to the instability on the Korean Peninsula. Russia has recently strengthened its ties with North Korea, including a mutual defense agreement signed between President Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Meanwhile, the political situation in South Korea has sparked international backlash, with lawmakers submitting a bill to impeach President Yoon.
