  "summary": "The South Korean presidential office has expressed strong regret over Ukraine's denial of an agreement with Seoul not to disclose the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) to South Korea. Senior presidential secretary for public relations, Seong Ghi-hong, stated that the country is considering taking additional measures regarding the issue if necessary. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disclosed during a United Nations address last week that Ukraine had sent the two North Korean soldiers captured last year to South Korea. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and his office have since said Ukraine breached a nondisclosure agreement aimed at keeping the transfer a secret to safeguard the soldiers from dangers they could face if their transfer were to be disclosed, citing international law and humanitarian principles.",
