South Korea recalls ambassador to Ukraine over leaked North Korean prisoner details

Status: published

South Korea's foreign ministry announced on 8th that it is recalling its ambassador to Ukraine following a dispute over the disclosure of information regarding North Korean prisoners of war. Seoul demanded an explanation and apology after details of prisoner transfers were made public, citing concerns for the safety of families. It remains unresolved whether the matter will lead to further diplomatic measures between the two governments.

Unresolved: Sources disagree on Ukraine's response, with one account stating Ukraine refused to apologise for over ten days, while another cites South Korea's foreign minister saying an apology message had been received on 6th.
