South Korea Demands Apology from Ukraine Over North Korean POW Transfer

South Korea has demanded an apology from Ukraine after Ukraine disclosed the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war, which Seoul says violated a nondisclosure agreement. South Korea's presidential office expressed "strong regret" and called for an explanation, while Ukraine denies that any such pact existed. The dispute centers on the handling of North Korean soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces. South Korea has repeatedly voiced concerns about North Korea's military support for Russia in the war against Ukraine.
