韩国要求乌克兰就“单方面且突然”披露基辅将在为俄罗斯作战时被俘的朝鲜战俘转交首尔一事道歉。这一外交破裂反映出冲突日益扩大的全球影响。
South Korea demanded an apology from Ukraine for “unilaterally and abruptly” revealing that Kyiv transferred North Korean prisoners-of-war — captured fighting for Russia — to Seoul, a diplomatic rupture reflecting the conflict’s increasingly global dimensions.
蓝宫表示，正考虑因乌克兰违反秘密协议而对基辅采取“进一步必要措施”；乌克兰则对首尔深化与莫斯科的经济联系感到不满，并对该协议的保密性提出异议。
The Blue House said it was weighing “further necessary measures” against Kyiv for violating a secret pact, while Ukraine — frustrated by Seoul’s deepening economic ties with Moscow — disputed the deal’s confidentiality.
这场争执发生时，首尔正推行与平壤缓和关系的政策，并于近期要求美国总统唐纳德·特朗普重新与这个遭国际社会孤立的国家接触，而特朗普已经启动相关努力。
The spat comes as Seoul is pursuing a policy of détente with Pyongyang, and recently asked US President Donald Trump to reengage with the pariah state, an effort that Trump has already set in motion.
