South Korea Demands Apology from Ukraine over North Korean POW Transfer Disclosure
South Korea's presidential office has demanded an official explanation and apology from Ukraine after Kyiv publicly disclosed the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea.

South Korea expressed strong regret, citing damage to bilateral trust and potential harm to diplomatic relations, while Ukraine's embassy has not yet responded.
