  "summary": "South Korea's Foreign Ministry has summoned Ukraine's Acting Ambassador Andriy Vieshkin following Kyiv's disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) to South Korea. The summoning comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the handover of the POWs during a United Nations General Assembly speech last week. South Korea maintains that the transfer was intended to remain confidential for the safety of the prisoners and their families, a claim Ukraine denies. The South Korean administration asserts that Ukraine's denial of a confidentiality agreement gravely damages mutual trust and friendly relations between the two countries.",
