South Korea to withdraw some embassy staff from Ukraine

Status: published

Unresolved: Reports diverge on the stated motive for the withdrawal, with one attributing it to diplomatic tensions over North Korean prisoners of war and another citing foreign ministry statements regarding security risks from airstrikes.
