Diplomatic scandal: South Korea summons Ukrainian representative over reports of DPRK soldiers
On September 28, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the acting Ambassador of Ukraine, Andrii Veshkin. The reason for this step was reports regarding the possible participation of North Korean soldiers in the war on the side of Russia.
The South Korean side expressed concern over the information that appeared in the media. Official Seoul is seeking clarification regarding claims that North Korean soldiers may be present in the occupied territories of Ukraine or assisting the Russian army in combat operations.
This issue is extremely sensitive for the international community, as any military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow violates international sanctions. South Korea is closely monitoring developments, as the strengthening of ties between these countries poses a direct threat to security on the Korean Peninsula.
Currently, the Ukrainian side and international experts continue to analyze data on the possible presence of foreign mercenaries. It is expected that diplomatic channels will help clarify all the details of this situation and reduce tensions between the countries in the near future.
