🇰🇷 "Cruel and irresponsible": South Korea's president criticized Ukraine over prisoners from the DPRK
According to him, Kyiv violated a non-disclosure agreement by revealing information about the transfer of two North Korean military prisoners to South Korea.
The parties had previously agreed on a confidential transfer format — Seoul feared for the safety of the prisoners and their relatives who remain in North Korea, and also took into account the sensitivity of the issue for inter-Korean relations and diplomacy on the peninsula.
A possible move to South Korea had been discussed since the prisoners themselves expressed that desire.
"Ukraine disclosed the transfer in violation of the non-disclosure agreement. I don't know the reasons for this, but I regret it," Lee wrote. In response to Yonhap's inquiry, the Ukrainian side explained that it disclosed only the fact of the transfer, without details of the process.
