Ucraina și Coreea de Sud, în conflict diplomatic după dezvăluirea transferului a doi soldați

Ukraine is working to mend relations with South Korea after publicly announcing the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha referred to the situation as a diplomatic misunderstanding and expressed hope for a quick resolution. The transfer, revealed by President Zelensky at the UN, upset South Korean authorities who preferred confidentiality for security and humanitarian reasons. The two soldiers were captured in January 2025 and are the first North Korean military personnel taken alive by Ukraine since the conflict began. The incident has sparked a diplomatic dispute between Kyiv and Seoul, with South Korea closely monitoring North Korea's military involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
