Seoul says written proof of NK POW secrecy deal exists

“It is clear that the two countries agreed to keep the transfer secret,” the official told reporters. “The Ukrainian side notified the South Korean side that Zelenskyy would make a speech at the U.N. General Assembly, without specifying its content. The South Korean side responded by text, saying it wanted Zelenskyy not to breach the agreement between the two nations on keeping the transfer secret — which Ukraine subsequently broke.”

The official added that the two foreign ministers are in direct text communication and that Seoul and Kyiv are discussing the wording of a potential Ukrainian statement, including an apology, though no agreement has been reached on its scope.

Ukraine’s foreign minister sought to de-escalate, describing the row as a “diplomatic misunderstanding” rather than an incident.

“I very much want this situation to be resolved in the short term, and we are working on it. South Korea is an important country for us,” Andrii Sybiha was quoted as saying by RBC-Ukraine, expressing hope for continued cooperation.
