South Korea demands apology from Ukraine over North Korean POW disclosure

South Korea's presidential ​office on Monday ‌demanded an official explanation and ​apology from ​Ukraine, saying Kyiv unilaterally ⁠disclosed the ​transfer of ​North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea ​despite a ​prior agreement to keep ‌the ⁠matter confidential.

The presidential office said Ukraine's subsequent ​denial ​that ⁠any confidentiality agreement existed ​was false ​and ⁠had damaged trust between the ⁠two ​governments.
