首尔：韩国议员周三（9月30日）援引该国情报机构消息称，在向乌克兰移交两名被俘的朝鲜士兵一事上，韩国没有承诺为乌克兰抗击俄罗斯提供军事支持。
SEOUL: South Korea made no promise to provide military support for Ukraine's fight against Russia in the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers, a South Korean lawmaker said on Wednesday (Sep 30), citing the country's intelligence agency.
韩国反对党国民力量党议员柳永夏在韩国国家情报院（NIS）简报后向记者表示，乌克兰对移交这两名在俄罗斯库尔斯克地区战斗中被俘的士兵没有设置任何前提条件。
Ukraine imposed no preconditions on the transfer of the pair captured during fighting in Russia's Kursk region, Yoo Yeong-ha, a lawmaker from the opposition People Power Party, told reporters after a briefing by South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS).
乌克兰总统弗洛基米尔·泽连斯基上周在联合国大会上表示，乌克兰已将被俘的两名朝鲜士兵移交给韩国。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the United Nations General Assembly last week that Ukraine had transferred two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea.
泽连斯基披露此次移交后，韩国总统府要求乌方作出正式解释并道歉，指责基辅违反了一项保密协议。该协议旨在保护这两名士兵及其在朝鲜的亲属。
After Zelenskyy disclosed the transfer, South Korea's presidential office demanded an official explanation and apology from Ukraine and accused Kyiv of violating an agreement to keep the move confidential to protect the soldiers and their relatives in North Korea.
柳永夏援引国家情报院消息称，乌克兰迄今没有为披露此事道歉，也未表示遗憾。基辅方面表示，双方并不存在保密协议。
Ukraine has not apologised or expressed regret over the disclosure so far, Yoo said, citing the NIS. Kyiv has said no secrecy agreement existed.
预计这两名士兵将接受审讯和安全审查，之后韩国当局将决定是否给予他们保护并启动安置程序。
The soldiers are expected to undergo questioning and security screening before the South Korean authorities decide whether to grant them protection and begin the resettlement process.
根据韩国法律，国家情报院会在申请人处于临时保护羁押期间对其进行调查，核实其身份、离开朝鲜的原因以及安全方面的隐患。
Under South Korean law, the NIS investigates applicants in temporary protective custody, verifying their identities, reasons for leaving North Korea and security-related concerns.
主要武器生产国：柳永夏称，泽连斯基宣布移交这两名朝鲜士兵，可能是希望借此争取韩国公众支持向乌克兰提供武器和其他援助。乌克兰驻首尔大使馆没有立即回应路透社的置评请求。
MAJOR ARMS PRODUCER According to Yoo, Zelenskyy may have announced the transfer of the North Koreans because he had hoped it would spur public support in South Korea for providing weapons and other aid to Ukraine. Ukraine's embassy in Seoul did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
作为主要武器生产国，韩国一直面临来自一些西方国家和基辅的压力，要求其向乌克兰提供致命性武器，但迄今仍将援助重点放在非致命性援助上，包括扫雷设备。
South Korea, which is a major arms producer, has faced pressure from some Western countries and Kyiv to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons but has so far focused on non-lethal aid, including demining equipment.
另一名议员尹根永说，这些士兵于9月中旬被转移到韩国；他也听取了韩国国家情报院的情况介绍。该议员表示，两人的健康状况均无问题。
The soldiers were transferred to South Korea in mid-September, said another lawmaker, Youn Kun-young, who was also briefed by the NIS. The lawmaker said the pair had no health issues.
泽连斯基本周在X上发帖称，超过8000名朝鲜军队人员已在俄罗斯境内，并正在为增派1万名士兵做准备。
Zelenskyy said in a post on X this week that more than 8,000 North Korean troops were on Russian territory and preparations were underway to deploy a further 10,000 troops.
乌克兰总统8月表示，最多可能有5万名朝鲜士兵被派往为俄罗斯作战，并呼吁韩国为乌克兰防空提供支持。
The Ukrainian president said in August that as many as 50,000 North Korean soldiers could be sent to fight for Russia, and called on South Korea to provide support for Ukraine's air defence.
