A diplomatic dispute has emerged between South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the latter publicly disclosed the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea. While Kyiv maintains that the disclosure was a simple statement of fact, Seoul describes it as a breach of confidentiality that jeopardizes national security. This incident has further fueled internal political strife in South Korea, as opposition leaders criticize the government's lack of transparency regarding the arrival of the soldiers.
