South Korea demands Ukrainian apology over North Korean POW transfer disclosure
Original: S Korea demands Ukraine apology over disclosure of N Korea’s POW transfer
South Korea has demanded an apology from Ukraine after Kyiv disclosed the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea. The dispute centres on the handling of North Korean soldiers captured while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. The transfer, made public by Ukraine, appears to have been carried out without Seoul's prior agreement, prompting the South Korean government to protest the disclosure and the arrangement itself.
Why now: The public disclosure of a sensitive prisoner transfer without South Korea's consent has created a diplomatic friction between Kyiv and Seoul.
