Seoul warns 'further action' if Ukraine does not apologise over prisoner-of-war row

South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung threatened unspecified "further action" unless Ukraine publicly apologises for revealing that two North Korean prisoners of war were sent to the South. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed the transfer at the UN General Assembly last week. Ukraine's foreign minister called it a diplomatic misunderstanding; Seoul rejected that, saying the move was meant to stay secret.
