South Korea demands Ukrainian apology over North Korean POW disclosure

South Korea's presidential office has demanded an apology from Ukraine after Kyiv unilaterally disclosed the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war. Seoul said it 'expresses strong regret over Ukraine's unilateral disclosure', indicating the two sides had not agreed on how the sensitive handover of North Korean soldiers captured in the war should be announced. The dispute has drawn attention to how Kyiv handles captured North Korean troops and to the coordination between the two governments.
Why now: A public diplomatic spat between two countries aligned against North Korea is unusual and touches on the sensitive fate of captured North Korean soldiers.
