S. Korea, Ukraine had no discussion on timing of disclosing N.K. POW repatriation: diplomat

What happened: A South Korean diplomat said Seoul and Kyiv agreed to keep discussions on repatriating captured North Korean soldiers confidential but set no timeline for disclosure. Yoon Ji-wan said the embassy was caught off guard when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed the repatriation at the U.N. Why it matters: Seoul accused Kyiv of breaching a non-disclosure agreement, Ukraine said no such pact existed, and South Korea recalled its ambassador to Ukraine, Park Ki-chang. Yoon said the issue must be resolved wisely.
