South Korea denies military aid pledge to Ukraine over North Korean transfers
Original: South Korea made no military aid pledge to Ukraine over transfer of North Koreans, lawmaker says
A South Korean lawmaker says Seoul made no promise of military aid to Ukraine in connection with the transfer of captured North Korean soldiers. The statement pushes back on suggestions that any POW handover deal came with a defence commitment attached. The status and fate of North Korean troops fighting alongside Russia remains a sensitive issue between Seoul, Kyiv and Moscow.
Why now: Reports about captured North Korean soldiers in Ukraine are raising questions over what Seoul may have promised Kyiv in exchange for their transfer.
