NewzSouth Korean President Lee Jae Myung announced on Friday that Seoul will implement "further measures" against Ukraine if the Ukrainian government refuses to issue a public apology. The diplomatic standoff centers on what South Korea describes as Ukraine's unilateral disclosure regarding North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) being sent to South Korea.
The controversy was sparked when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly disclosed details last week concerning the transfer of North Korean POWs to South Korea. The South Korean administration views this disclosure as a breach of protocol, prompting the demand for a formal public apology under the threat of unspecified retaliatory or diplomatic actions.
