South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has threatened unspecified additional measures against Ukraine unless Kyiv acknowledges what Seoul says was a confidentiality agreement covering the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war captured while fighting for Russia. The dispute began after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly disclosed the transfer at the United Nations General Assembly. South Korea says the disclosure breached an agreement intended to protect the soldiers and their families, while Ukraine denies that such an agreement existed. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has described the dispute as a diplomatic misunderstanding, while South Korean and Ukrainian officials continue discussions over a possible apology and a way to resolve the standoff. The row could affect South Korea’s humanitarian, financial and reconstruction support for Ukraine, while Seoul also relies on Kyiv for information about North Korea’s military activities. #southkorea #ukraine #
