OREANDA-NEWS  What happened in South Korea is a weakness of the current government, said Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. So in conversation with senator commented on the situation.

"There was complete nonsense. The president, who is not popular at all, and it is clear that he is living out his political age, has made an attempt to remain in power by imposing martial law. In fact, he tried to carry out a military coup in his favor and faced powerful opposition from parliament," Jabarov said.

According to the senator, South Korean President Yun Seok-yel did not receive support not only from allies inside the country, but also from the West.

Because it is unclear what dictated it. The president's reference to the fact that this is supposedly protection from persons who sympathize with North Korea does not stand up to any criticism. I think this is a weakness of the current government
