  "summary": "South Korea's presidential office has demanded an official explanation and apology from Ukraine following the disclosure of a transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea. The presidential office expressed strong regret over Ukraine's unilateral disclosure and its subsequent false announcement that there had not been a non-disclosure agreement. The issue has caused significant damage to trust between the two governments and could harm bilateral relations. Ukraine's embassy in Seoul has not yet responded to requests for comment.",
