Seoul's ambassador to Ukraine returns home after POW row
South Korea's ambassador to Ukraine returned home today, Seoul's foreign ministry said, as a diplomatic row deepens over the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war to Seoul.
The announcement came days after South Korea said it recalled him following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's disclosure last month of the prisoner transfer, which Seoul said put their families in North Korea at risk.
"We inform you that Park Ki-chang, Ambassador to Ukraine, returned home this morning," Seoul's foreign ministry said in a statement sent to AFP.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has demanded an official apology over the prisoner revelation.

"The death toll from the air strikes on Zaporizhzhia has risen to eight. Among them are three children," said Ivan Fedorov, co-chair of the Defence Council of the Zaporizhzhia region.
At least 16 people were wounded, he said, and 12 were missing.
