In short:

The revelation of a transfer to South Korea of two North Koreans caught fighting for Russia has sparked calls for a full apology.

Seoul has accused Ukraine of making the announcement in breach of a non-disclosure agreement regarding prisoner of war transfers.

Kyiv says it has only stated the fact of their transfer.

    You asked why did South Korea accept North Korean soldiers from Ukraine. The article says the soldiers requested to go to South Korea. But WHY did SK accept? My guess is they thought they were helping the soldiers by allowing them in.

    Your previous comment asks why South Korea is so sensitive that the information leaked to North Korea. I don't want to ruin my chances of going to beautiful North Korea someday by saying something outlandish, but North Koreans can't go to South Korea because North Korea doesn't allow it. Additionally, these are soldiers who, if I had to guess, are not done serving in the North Korean army, or serving in Russia or wherever North Korea wants them to be. So now North Korea is going to open a dialogue with South Korea and demand their soldiers back. Now South Korea has to decide if they want to turn over these two men to North Korea, and if they don't this will be a diplomatic problem between two countries who are technically still at war.

    I don’t know why you feel the need to lie about what I said, especially when anyone can just scroll back to my previous comment and see what I said

    Very clearly, I just asked you to “elaborate“. Very rudely, that is not what you did

    Why do you feel the need to lie about what I said? do you often find that compounding one lie upon another is the answer to getting called out upon your initial lie? This seems illogical to me.

    I said "South Korea took North Korean POWs, without NK’s consent or knowledge."

    You asked "Did they now?" and "Why would they do that?" I don't know why you asked "Did they now?" to Did SK take NK's soldiers? (This is what this article is about, you said you read the article). Maybe when you ask "why would they do that?" you were referring to when I said "Now NK can demand that SK return the soldiers."

    Anyways have a good night get some sleep
