South Korea is persisting in its demand for an apology from Ukraine regarding the disclosure of the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war (POWs), according to the country's foreign ministry, which spoke on Tuesday. The ministry seeks to resolve all outstanding issues with Ukraine amicably, spokesperson Park Doo-soon stated during a press briefing.
In pursuit of this goal, the ministry continues to engage in consultations with Ukraine and maintain communication. This assertion followed Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha's claim on Monday that the matter had been resolved in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. He emphasized that Ukraine had fulfilled all its obligations in the prisoner transfer process, according to the report.
Despite Ukraine's assertion, South Korea persists in escalating the situation by recalling its ambassador, a move that Ukraine sees as unnecessary as it considers the dispute to have been resolved. When asked whether Seoul's demand for an apology is still valid, no direct response was provided by the source.
