Seoul rebukes Kyiv over denial of N.K. POW nondisclosure pact

South Korea expressed strong regret after Ukraine denied the existence of a nondisclosure agreement regarding North Korean prisoners of war. The dispute signals a diplomatic rift between Seoul and Kyiv over handling of captured N.K. soldiers, with implications for intelligence-sharing and alliance coordination. The exact terms of any agreement remain unconfirmed, and Ukraine's denial contradicts earlier South Korean statements.
