韩国将从乌克兰撤回部分使馆人员：朝鲜战俘移交披露争端未解
韩国外交部10月20日表示，韩国决定从驻乌克兰大使馆撤回部分外交人员。据韩联社（Yonhap）报道，外交部发言人 Park Doo-soon 当天在首尔举行的例行记者会上说，乌克兰方面迄今未就朝鲜战俘移交披露争端采取积极措施，且乌克兰全境空袭威胁持续、难以确保外交人员安全，政府因此作出这一决定。据韩国官员介绍，撤回人员约占使馆现有人员的一半。
争端源于两名朝鲜战俘的移交。这两名朝鲜士兵2025年1月在 Kursk 地区被乌军俘获，其后被移交韩方。乌克兰总统 Volodymyr Zelenskyy 9月23日在联合国大会发表讲话时公开披露了这一移交。韩方表示，双方原商定对此保密，以保护战俘本人及其留在朝鲜的家人；韩国总统李在明指责乌方单方面披露。乌克兰外交部发言人 Heorhii Tykhyi 10月7日则表示，双方分歧源于对保密安排的不同理解。
韩方此前已于9月28日召见乌克兰驻韩临时代办提出交涉，并于10月8日召回韩国驻乌克兰大使 Park Ki-chang 以示抗议。韩方要求乌方作出正式解释和道歉，乌方迄今未正式回应。
Park Doo-soon 表示，尽管部分撤回，两国间必要的外交沟通将以临时代办为中心继续进行，全部领事人员将留驻乌克兰，继续保护在乌韩国国民。他说，韩方已通过多种渠道向乌方传达立场，呼吁乌方作出真诚、积极的回应，韩方目标是通过与乌方密切协商友好解决争端。
South Korea to Withdraw Some Embassy Staff From Ukraine Amid North Korean POW Disclosure Dispute
South Korea has decided to withdraw some diplomatic personnel from its embassy in Ukraine, the foreign ministry said on October 20. According to Yonhap News Agency, ministry spokesperson Park Doo-soon said at a regular press briefing in Seoul that Ukraine has not taken positive steps to resolve the diplomatic dispute over Kyiv's unilateral disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) to Seoul, and that continued Russian airstrikes across Ukraine have made it difficult to ensure the safety of diplomatic personnel. Officials said the staff being withdrawn amount to about half of the embassy's existing personnel.
The dispute stems from the transfer of two North Korean soldiers who were captured by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region in January 2025 and later handed over to South Korea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly disclosed the transfer in his address to the UN General Assembly on September 23. Seoul said the two sides had agreed to keep the matter confidential to protect the prisoners and their families, who remain in North Korea, and President Lee Jae-myung accused Ukraine of disclosing the information unilaterally. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said on October 7 that the disagreement stemmed from differing interpretations of the confidentiality arrangements.
Seoul summoned Ukraine's charge d'affaires in Seoul on September 28 over the disclosure, and recalled its ambassador to Ukraine, Park Ki-chang, on October 8 in protest. South Korea has demanded an official explanation and apology from Ukraine, but Kyiv has yet to formally respond to the demand.
Despite the partial withdrawal, South Korea will maintain necessary diplomatic communications with Ukraine through its charge d'affaires, while all consular personnel will remain in the country to continue efforts to protect South Korean nationals there, the ministry said. Park said Seoul had conveyed its position through various channels, called for sincere and positive steps from Kyiv, and aimed to seek an amicable resolution through close consultations.
