两名朝鲜士兵去年在俄乌战争中被俘,后被移交至韩国。韩国政府此前一直坚持不向交战国提供武器的政策。
(德国之声中文网)韩国总统李在明周五(10月2日)威胁说,如果乌克兰拒绝就其公开两名朝鲜战俘被秘密移交韩国一事道歉,韩方将采取未加说明的惩罚性措施。
首尔与基辅正陷入一场外交争端。乌克兰总统泽连斯基上周在联合国演讲中披露了这次移交,首尔对此强烈抗议,指控乌方违反了关于此事的保密协议,而基辅否认曾达成这样的协议。
这两名朝鲜士兵上月抵韩,也可能给希望改善对平壤关系的韩国政府带来麻烦。不过,尽管措辞不断升级,许多专家认为首尔不太可能采取激烈举动——与乌克兰保持良好关系符合韩国国家利益,也有助于与其他西方国家的伙伴关系。
这两名朝鲜士兵去年初随数千名朝鲜军人赴俄支持对乌战争时被乌克兰军队俘获。朝鲜以此换取俄罗斯的经济和军事援助。
韩国改善关系的努力连连受挫
朝鲜战俘的移交可能使首尔推动与平壤对话的努力复杂化——朝鲜此前对本国公民脱北反应激烈,并指责韩方绑架。
韩国总统李在明表示,其政府一直在为重启朝鲜领导人金正恩与美国总统特朗普之间的会谈进行协调,希望借此推动韩方自身与朝鲜的对话、增进半岛和平。
特朗普多次表达再度会晤他的“朋友”金正恩的意愿,称自己“大概是全世界唯一一个被金正恩喜欢的人”,但是金正恩至今没有回应他的热情邀请。
近期朝韩边境的地雷爆炸致三名韩国士兵受伤,可能使韩方的和解努力脱轨。韩国认定爆炸系朝鲜埋设的地雷所致,要求朝鲜道歉并停止在边境的设防工程。周五,金正恩的妹妹、高级官员金与正称韩方的要求"可悲至极",并表示朝鲜打算与韩国永久断绝关系。
乌克兰称这次争执是"一场外交误会"
李在明周三在社交平台X上发文,指责乌克兰不承认他此前关于存在保密协议的说法,使他看起来像个"说谎者"。
他说,如果乌克兰拒绝承认保密协议的存在并公开道歉,韩国政府将采取"进一步措施"。他写道,这关乎国家尊严,因此不能坐视不理。
乌克兰外长瑟比加周四称这次争执是"一场外交误会"。他对记者表示,自己每天都在与韩国外长沟通,并说他非常希望这一状况能在短期内得到解决。
韩国官员认为,泽连斯基披露此事,很可能是希望在韩国国内激起民意支持,促使韩方向乌克兰提供其急需的导弹防御和其他武器系统。
李在明办公室此前表示,之所以达成保密协议,是因为基辅担心放弃把这些朝鲜士兵用于未来对俄战俘交换的机会会招致国内批评;韩方则顾虑这些士兵及其家人的安全,以及其他未加说明的外交与安全问题。
自2022年以来,韩国已向乌克兰提供4.45亿美元人道主义援助。今年7月,李在明在土耳其北约峰会期间会见泽连斯基时承诺再提供1亿美元援助。
韩国外交部周四表示,将继续探讨在人道主义和重建方面协助乌克兰的途径。韩国是一个日益重要的武器出口国,但依据不向正在交战的国家供武的政策,一直未向乌克兰提供武器。
