Asia-Pacific3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported20m ago
South Korea announced on Tuesday that it is withdrawing a portion of its embassy staff from Kyiv. The decision deepens an ongoing diplomatic dispute between Seoul and Ukraine.
The row stems from an announcement made by Ukraine last month regarding the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war. The handling of these POWs has driven a wedge between Seoul and Kyiv, culminating in the partial evacuation of South Korean diplomatic personnel.
