A diplomatic dispute has broken out after Ukraine transferred two North Korean prisoners of war, reportedly captured while fighting alongside Russian forces, to South Korea. Seoul is now demanding an apology from Kyiv over the handling of the transfer, turning what could have been a routine handover into a public spat between two countries otherwise aligned against Russia. The case raises questions about how captured North Korean soldiers should be treated under international law and where their future lies.
