South Korea-Ukraine relations begin to thaw after Paris meeting

Ukraine and South Korea are working to mend their diplomatic relations after a recent spat, confirmed by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha. Tensions arose during the UN General Assembly when President Zelensky accused South Korea of breaching a confidentiality agreement regarding North Korean soldiers. Following this, South Korea downgraded diplomatic engagements with Ukraine. Sybiha expressed the desire for stronger bilateral relations and acknowledged South Korea's support for Ukraine's sovereignty. Despite the positive discussions, he noted that further efforts are necessary for full normalization of ties.
