  "summary": "The Korea Times reports a dispute between Seoul and Kyiv over the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war (POW) to South Korea. The controversy began when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the move to world leaders on September 23 during his U.N. General Assembly speech. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed deep regret over the Ukrainian side's decision to disclose the information in violation of a confidentiality agreement. The two sides had reportedly agreed to keep the transfer a secret due to its sensitivity and implications for diplomacy, national security, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula. However, Dmytro Lytvyn, a communications adviser to Zelenskyy, denied any such agreement existed. South Korean senior presidential secretary for public communication, Sung Ki-hong, criticized the Ukrainian government's handling of the issue.",
