Seoul: Zelensky Discusses North Prisoners for Arms
South Korean intelligence sources have confirmed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may have revealed the transfer of two North Korean prisoners to Seoul in an attempt to garner popular support in South Korea for supplying Ukraine with weapons. Zelensky announced during a United Nations meeting that Ukraine had transferred two North Korean soldiers, which led to the summoning of South Korean diplomats to express their concern. Seoul considered this a breach of trust and confidentiality between the two countries. Whether Zelensky’s intention was political, aimed at boosting military support for Ukraine, or not, the issue has caused diplomatic tension, especially after the prisoners arrived in South Korea in good health, with assurances that there was no official agreement regarding confidentiality between the parties.
