Ukraine and South Korea clash over North Korean POW disclosure

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disclosed the transfer of North Korean prisoners to South Korea, angering Seoul which expected the arrangement to remain confidential.

A diplomatic dispute has emerged between Ukraine and South Korea over the disclosure of two North Korean prisoners of war. Zelenskyy revealed that North Korean POWs captured by Ukrainian forces had been transferred to South Korea, but Seoul says the arrangement was meant to remain secret and that Ukraine breached a confidentiality agreement. South Korea's President accused Ukraine of undermining him with the public disclosure. Seoul is demanding a formal apology from Kyiv and has warned of 'further measures' if Ukraine refuses. The POWs were captured by Ukrainian forces after being deployed alongside thousands of North Korean troops supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
