South Korea has requested the Russian embassy in Seoul to remove a large 'Victory will be ours' banner ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

South Korea has asked the Russian embassy in Seoul to take down a large banner reading 'Victory will be ours', its foreign ministry said, just ahead of this week's fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine.

The foreign ministry has expressed concerns to the Russian Embassy in Seoul over a large banner hung over its building that reads 'victory will be ours' in Russian, officials said Sunday.

Russia has launched a form of cognitive warfare on South Korean soil, striving to justify its invasion of Ukraine by influencing Korean public opinion. A giant 15-meter banner was hung vertically on the wall of the Russian Embassy building in central Seoul. It reads 'Victory Will Be Ours.' South Korea's foreign ministry requested the banner's removal, a call rejected by the Russian Embassy.
