Seoul has accused the Ukrainian leader of breaching a confidentiality agreement for a PR stunt at the UN
South Korea has demanded an official explanation and apology from Ukraine over Vladimir Zelensky’s disclosure of a secret transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war captured in Russia, accusing Kiev of breaking a confidentiality agreement and then falsely denying that one existed.
Seoul’s presidential office escalated the diplomatic row in a statement on Sunday, expressing “strong regret” over Ukraine’s attempt to downplay Zelensky’s blunder at the UN General Assembly last week.
“We express strong regret over the Ukrainian government’s unilateral disclosure in violation of the confidentiality agreement, and its subsequent false public statement denying the existence of an agreement, and demand an official explanation and apology,” senior presidential secretary for public relations Seong Ghi-hong said. Seoul is also reviewing unspecified “further necessary measures,” he added.
