Seoul seeks apology over Ukraine's transfer of North Korean POWs
Original: Seoul seeks apology after Ukraine reveals transfer of North Korean POWs
South Korea has demanded an apology after Ukraine revealed it transferred North Korean prisoners of war, reportedly captured while fighting alongside Russian forces, to third countries. Seoul says the move breached international norms requiring consultation with the prisoners' home state, and has voiced concern over the handling of its citizens. The dispute has opened a rare diplomatic friction point between Kyiv and Seoul.
Why now: Ukraine's disclosure of the transfers directly contradicted South Korea's position and sparked a fresh diplomatic row between the two governments.
