Seoul accused Kyiv of disclosing a secret transfer of DPRK prisoners.
Zelensky, the day before yesterday during a speech at the UN General Assembly, reported that Ukraine had handed over two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea.
The following day South Korean President Lee wrote on X that the disclosure breached an agreement of confidentiality and causes deep regret.
According to him, the issue of repatriating prisoners from the DPRK is "extremely sensitive" and significantly affects diplomacy, national security, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
The Office of the President of Ukraine, in response to Yonhap's inquiry, said that they reported only the fact of the transfer, without details of the process.
