South Korea summons Ukraine envoy over North Korean POW transfer
Original: South Korea summons Ukraine envoy in protest over North Korean POW transfer
South Korea has summoned Ukraine's envoy in protest following the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war, according to Reuters. The move marks a diplomatic escalation between Seoul and Kyiv over the handling of North Korean soldiers captured while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. Seoul has previously sought custody of North Korean troops who wish to defect to South Korea.
Why now: The transfer touches on South Korea's sovereignty claims over North Korean citizens and its effort to secure defectors captured in the Russia-Ukraine war.
