South Korea Regrets Ukraine's Disclosure of North Korean POW Transfer
South Korea's presidential office has expressed strong regret over Ukraine's disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea, accusing Kyiv of violating a confidentiality agreement. South Korea had agreed to keep the transfer secret due to security and humanitarian concerns. Ukraine revealed the transfer during President Zelenskiy's UN General Assembly address and later denied any non-disclosure pact, damaging trust between the two governments and potentially affecting bilateral relations.
