South Korea threatens Ukraine over Zelenskyy's POW disclosure

South Korea has threatened Ukraine with consequences after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly revealed that North Korean prisoners of war had been transferred to Seoul, straining relations between the two NATO-aligned partners. Seoul accuses Kyiv of breaking a confidentiality agreement and endangering the prisoners and their families in North Korea. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung demanded a public apology, while Ukraine calls the dispute a diplomatic misunderstanding and says channels remain open. The dispute could affect European arms policy, as South Korea has become a major weapons exporter but does not supply lethal aid to Ukraine. Experts say the rift is unlikely to change that stance.
