韩国国际援助机构决定出于安全原因,将其在乌克兰首都基辅办事处的两名工作人员中的一人遣返回国,韩联社周四报道。
South Korea's international aid agency has decided to bring back one of its two staff members from its office in Ukraine's capital on safety grounds, the Yonhap news agency reported on Thursday.
莫斯科入侵邻国已超过4年半,基辅近几周来遭受越来越猛烈的俄罗斯无人机和导弹袭击。
Kyiv has come under increasingly heavy Russian drone and missile attacks in recent weeks, more than 4-1/2 years after Moscow's invasion of its neighbour.
韩国也卷入与乌克兰的外交争端,本月指责基辅就将两名被俘朝鲜士兵转移到韩国一事违反保密协议,并撤回了其大使。
South Korea has also been caught up in a diplomatic dispute with Ukraine and withdrew its ambassador this month after accusing Kyiv of breaching a confidentiality agreement over the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers to the South.
韩国国际合作机构决定遣返该援助机构工作人员,是在一次安全会议后作出的,韩联社在其报道中表示。
The decision by the Korea International Cooperation Agency to repatriate the aid agency staff member was made after a safety meeting, Yonhap said in its report.
该报道引述该机构一名官员的话称,该官员未提及战俘争端。另一名工作人员将留在基辅,报道补充道。
It cited an official from the agency who did not mention the dispute over the prisoners of war. The other staff member would stay in Kyiv, it added.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基去年9月在联合国大会上表示,乌克兰已将两名被俘朝鲜士兵转移到韩国。他说,这两人是在为俄罗斯作战时被俘后被送往韩国的。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told the UN General Assembly in September that Ukraine had transferred two captured North Korean soldiers to the South. He said the men had been sent there after being captured while fighting for Russia.
首尔表示,这一披露违反了为保护士兵及其在朝鲜的家人而保密转移的谅解。
The disclosure breached an understanding to keep the transfer confidential so as to protect the soldiers and their families in the North, Seoul said.
