South Korea's President Lee demands apology from Ukraine over POW disclosure

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has demanded a public apology from Ukraine regarding the disclosure of North Korean prisoners of war sent to Seoul. He characterized the issue as a matter of national honor for South Korea and indicated potential 'additional measures' against Kyiv. This follows an announcement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN General Assembly about the transfer, which South Korea claims breached a non-disclosure agreement. The diplomatic tension could impact future collaborations, as South Korea has been hesitant to provide military aid to Ukraine while focusing on humanitarian support.
