Diplomatic Row Erupts Between Ukraine and South Korea Over North Korean POWs

Original: 🟠 UPDATE Diplomatic Row Between Ukraine and South Korea Over North Korean POWs South Korean President Lee Jae Myung warn

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has warned of 'further action' if Ukraine does not apologize in an escalating diplomatic dispute over North Korean prisoners of war. He accused Kyiv of attempting to provoke a war on the Korean Peninsula. The row touches on the fate of North Korean soldiers captured while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, a sensitive issue in Seoul.

Why now: A sitting South Korean president publicly accusing Ukraine of trying to provoke war on the Korean Peninsula is an unusual and serious rupture between two countries aligned against Russia.
