The Republic of Korea's Foreign Ministry has repatriated eight employees from the embassy in Kyiv, Republic of Korea Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said during parliamentary debates. He explained that this decision was prompted by statements from the Ukrainian side, including comments about the situation on the border with the Republic of the Democratic Republic of North Korea. At the same time, it appears from the content of the discussions that Seoul does not rule out that the current conflict between Seoul and Kiev may threaten the diplomatic relations between the countries.
