El presidente surcoreano Lee Jae Myung amenazó el 2 de octubre con medidas no especificadas contra Ucrania por un supuesto acuerdo de confidencialidad sobre dos prisioneros de guerra norcoreanos. Kiev negó que existiera ese acuerdo.

Lee dijo en X que tomaría medidas adicionales si Ucrania seguía rechazando el compromiso que Seúl afirma que cubría el traslado de los dos presos. También exigió una disculpa pública, según Reuters y Yonhap.

Ucrania trasladó a Corea del Sur a dos soldados norcoreanos capturados cuando combatían para Rusia. Seúl dice que debía permanecer secreto; funcionarios ucranianos niegan un acuerdo. Reuters informó de que el canciller ucraniano lo describió como un malentendido diplomático y expresó interés en reparar las relaciones.

La confidencialidad seguía en disputa

La controversia pasó de exigir disculpas a amenazar públicamente con nuevas acciones. Lee no identificó las medidas ni fijó un plazo y no se anunció un cambio político concreto.

No se sabía si afectaría a la ayuda humanitaria, financiera o de reconstrucción. Los detalles del supuesto acuerdo no se divulgaron y su existencia seguía disputada.

Zelenski reveló el traslado en la Asamblea General de la ONU el mes anterior. Los prisioneros fueron capturados en Kursk en enero de 2025, según Reuters. Corea del Sur ha ayudado a Ucrania desde la invasión de 2022 y buscado información sobre la actividad militar norcoreana.

Russia struck at least six Ukrainian energy targets overnight and on the morning of October 12, after U.S. President Donald Trump said an immediate energy ceasefire had been secured. Ukraine said the attacks showed that no operational pause was in effect; the Kremlin said contacts were continuing. The strikes followed Trump's October 11 announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking each other's energy systems. Moscow had not publicly confirmed that it accepted the same terms. Ukraine said it had not struck Russian refineries overnight and remained willing to observe a reciprocal pause. The earlier CurrentFront report on the ceasefire announcement , first published October 11, documented Ukraine...
