韩国总统李在明周五警告称，如果乌克兰拒绝承认关于移交两名朝鲜士兵给韩国的保密协议，且不为声称不存在此类协议一事道歉，首尔将采取“额外措施”。
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung warned Friday that Seoul will take “additional measures” if Ukraine refuses to acknowledge a confidentiality agreement concerning the transfer of two North Korean soldiers to South Korea and does not apologize for saying that no such agreement existed.
李在明在美社交媒体平台发布声明称：“如果你（乌克兰）继续拒绝承认事实并公开道歉，我们将采取额外措施。因为这关乎大韩民国国民和国家的荣誉，我们不能置之不理。”上周乌克兰总统泽连斯基在联合国大会发言中披露，两名为俄罗斯作战时被俘的朝鲜士兵已被移交韩国，此后两国外交关系紧张升级。
“If you (Ukraine) continue to refuse to acknowledge the facts and apologize publicly, we will take additional measures. As this is a matter concerning the honor of the Republic of Korea's people and nation, we cannot overlook it,” Lee said in a statement on the US social media platform Diplomatic tensions have escalated between the two countries after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his address last week to the UN General Assembly disclosed that two North Korean soldiers captured while fighting for Russia were transferred to South Korea.
这两名士兵于2025年初在俄罗斯库尔斯克地区被俘，此前他们被部署支援俄军对抗乌军。
The soldiers were captured in Russia’s Kursk region in early 2025 after being deployed to support Russian forces against Ukrainian troops.
韩国外交部周一召见乌克兰驻韩大使，对乌方否认表示强烈关切，并要求基辅道歉。
South Korea's Foreign Ministry summoned the Ukrainian ambassador Monday to express strong concern about the denial and demanded an apology from Kyiv.
首尔方面称，是乌克兰违反了旨在为保护士兵而保持移交机密的相互保密协议，并指出是基辅率先要求对该事项保密。
Seoul said it was Ukraine that violated a mutual confidentiality agreement aimed at keeping the transfer confidential in order to protect the soldiers, saying Kyiv was the first to request secrecy over the matter.
“针对要求承认协议并道歉的诉求，对方反而提及（朝韩）军事冲突迫在眉睫的可能性，”李某表示，指责乌克兰试图将“战争引向朝鲜半岛”，并表示“深感遗憾”，据韩联社报道。
“In response to a demand to acknowledge the agreement and apologize, it has instead mentioned (the possibility of) an imminent inter-Korean military conflict," Lee said, accusing Ukraine of attempting to bring "war on the Korean Peninsula" and expressing "serious regret,” according to Yonhap News Agency.
一名不愿透露姓名的韩国政府高级官员周五告诉记者，首尔和基辅已就移交两名战俘（POW）达成保密条款，并表示两国外长一直在讨论“基辅应如何回应韩国因披露移交事宜而提出的道歉要求”。
An unnamed senior South Korean government official told reporters Friday that Seoul and Kyiv had agreed to a confidential clause on the transfer of the two prisoners of war (POWs) and said the foreign ministers of the two nations have been discussing "how Kyiv should respond to South Korea's demand for an apology over the disclosure of the transfer."
