South Korea Recalls Envoy From Ukraine in Dispute Over North Korean POWs
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported37m ago
South Korea has recalled its envoy from Ukraine amid a diplomatic dispute concerning North Korean prisoners of war. The tensions arose following an announcement last month by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that two North Korean POWs had defected to South Korea.
Seoul accused the Ukrainian leadership of breaching a confidentiality agreement regarding the prisoners. The recall of the envoy highlights growing friction between the two nations over the handling and public disclosure of defecting combatants.
