South Korea has recalled eight embassy workers in Kyiv amid escalating disputes with the Ukrainian side. A further deterioration in relations between the countries is also not ruled out. This was announced by the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea, Cho Hyun, on October 27. "Currently, eight employees have been recalled," he said in a debate in parliament. During the debate, a member of parliament from the opposition said that the situation actually borders on the severance of diplomatic relations or represents an extremely acute diplomatic conflict. The diplomatic dispute flared up after Zelensky on September 23 publicly announced the transfer of two servicemen held captive by North Korea to South Korea. The president of the republic, Lee Jae-myung, accused Kyiv of revealing classified information and demanded an apology, but the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that there were no agreements.
