Seoul accuses Kyiv: Zelenskyy revealed transfer of North Korean prisoners

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said the parties had previously agreed to keep silent about the transfer of two North Korean prisoners and the risks to them and their relatives. On September 23, Zelenskyy mentioned this at the UN General Assembly. Lee called the move cruel and irresponsible, given the human lives and national security at stake. The Zelenskyy office responded that they only disclosed the fact of the transfer, without operational details, and keeping it secret would have been strange.
