South Korea’s President Threatens ‘Additional Measures’ Unless Ukraine Apologizes Over POW Disclosure
President Lee claimed Kyiv broke a secrecy deal on two North Korean prisoners, denied the pact, and made him 'a liar.'
TL;DR
- South Korea may take further action against Ukraine if they do not apologize for revealing the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war.
- Ukraine allegedly broke a secrecy agreement regarding the repatriation of the prisoners.
- The dispute began when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the transfer at the U.N. General Assembly.
- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung claims Ukraine demanded confidentiality, which Kyiv later revealed.
