South Korea's envoy back from Ukraine
The South Korean ambassador to Ukraine returned to his country today after being recalled due to a diplomatic dispute related to Kyiv's handing over of two detained North Korean soldiers during the Russian-Ukrainian war. South Korea had demanded a formal apology from Ukraine after the Ukrainian president announced the surrender of the soldiers, which Seoul considered a breach of a secret agreement to protect the prisoners and their families from repercussions within North Korea. This comes amid tensions over South Korea's export of products, mainly diesel, to Russia, which has drawn criticism from Kyiv. The situation reflects escalating tensions between the two countries on sensitive issues related to prisoners and economic policy.
