Summary
South Korea summoned Ukraine's ambassador after President Volodymyr Zelensky told the UN General Assembly last week that two captured North Korean soldiers had been transferred to South Korean custody. Seoul says the handover was meant to remain secret and that disclosure violated a confidentiality agreement; Ukraine's presidential press office denies any such agreement existed. President Lee Jae Myung's office says the dispute has damaged trust between the two governments.
