Ukraine’s decision to transfer two North Korean nationals it had detained to South Korea has exposed a diplomatic rift, as Seoul insists the move was intended to remain confidential. The revelation came after Ukrainian President Zelensky disclosed the transfer, contradicting South Korea’s expectations of secrecy. The incident highlights tensions between the two allies over how sensitive matters involving North Korea are handled. Questions now arise about the broader implications for regional security and cooperation.
Last week Zelensky revealed Ukraine had sent two captured North Koreans to South Korea - which Seoul says was meant to be a secret.
