WASHINGTON — South Korea is demanding an apology from Ukraine after its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, detailed how his country captured North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia. During Zelensky’s address to the United Nations General Assembly last week, he revealed that Ukraine had transfered two captured North Koreans to Pyongyang’s southern neighbor in January 2025, enraging Seoul. “The presidential office expresses strong regret over Ukraine’s unilateral disclosure and ​its subsequent false announcement that there had not been a non-disclosure agreement,” Seong Ghi-hong, a spokesperson for South Korea President Lee Jae-myung, said Sunday.
