South Korea demands apology from Ukraine over North Korean POW transfer

South Korea has summoned Ukraine's charge d'affaires to the Foreign Ministry to convey "serious concerns" over the "transfer of North Korean prisoners of war," according to a statement.

The remark comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in his speech to the UN General Assembly last week that two North Korean prisoners of war had been taken to South Korea.

According to South Korea, there was an agreement to keep the information secret.

The country is now demanding an explanation for what happened, and the South Korean presidential office has demanded an apology from Ukraine.
