乌克兰移送北韩战俘引发与韩国争议,双方互指违反保密协议

Quick Look

乌克兰总统泽连斯基在联合国公开宣布已将两名北韩战俘移送至韩国,引发韩国政府强烈不满。韩国青瓦台称此举违反双方保密协议,乌克兰方面否认存在此类协议并指责韩方事先同意保密,事件演变为互相指责,韩方要求道歉并研议进一步措施。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

乌克兰曾俘获多名在俄乌冲突中为俄罗斯作战的北韩士兵,韩国一直关注这些战俘的去向。双方此前有过非正式接触,但未公开确认任何协议。此次事件源于乌克兰总统在联合国大会上的公开发言。

乌克兰将北韩战俘移送南韩意外引发两国争议,南韩批评乌克兰擅自公布北韩战俘消息,破坏两国之间的保密协议,但乌克兰方面却强调双方没有类似的协议,两国各执一词;韩国政府今(28日)罕见发表强硬声明,批评乌克兰此举是“对两国友好关系造成严重损害的行为”,正研议进一步措施。

据《韩联社》报道,乌克兰总统泽连斯基24日在联合国公开表示,乌克兰已将2名北韩战俘移送至韩国,引发外界讨论。青瓦台昨(27日)通过声明指出,总统府对乌克兰单方面揭露北韩战俘一事,违反双方保密协议,感到强烈遺憾。

然而,乌克兰总统府一名消息人士随后向媒体反驳称,「我们并未承诺保密」,使事件演变成双方各执一词。

青瓦台宣传沟通首席秘书成耆洪今公开双方交涉过程,称在协商过程中,乌克兰政府曾表示,「若将战俘遣送至韩国,国内可能出现批评声浪,认为政府因此放弃了以这些战俘交换更多本国战俘的机会」,因此希望不要公开遣送韩国的事实,并要求对此保密。

成耆洪指出:「韩方同样考量到战俘本人及其家屬的安全問題,以及外交、安全等多方面因素,因此同意以非公開方式處理,並依此進行遣送程序。」換句話說,青瓦台的立場是,雙方不僅確實存在非公開協議,而且當初還是烏克蘭方面主動提出保密要求。

成耆洪痛批:「烏克蘭在沒有事前協商、甚至連通知都沒有的情況下,單方面公開此事,本身就是重大問題;更嚴重的是,烏方還發布『不存在保密協議』的不實說法,這已嚴重損害兩國政府之間的互信。」認為這是「這是對兩國友好關係造成嚴重損害的行為。」要求烏克蘭正式作出說明並道歉,同時正研議針對此事採取其他必要措施。

Australia allows Japan Self-Defense Forces to use range to test hypersonic weapons

The Russian International Affairs Council revealed that Australia has allowed the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to use its range to test new missiles, including hypersonic weapons, and the test site may be at the Woomera range. Analysts believe that this move will help Japan break through the restrictions of the pacifist constitution and achieve arms expansion, while Australia's actions through arms sales and joint research and development are also fueling Japan's remilitarization ambitions.

Ukraine has informed South Korea that Zelensky will mention the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war at the United Nations General Assembly, and South Korea hopes to deal with it in a low-key manner

Ukrainian media quoted a senior official from the South Korean presidential office as saying that Ukraine did notify Seoul through diplomatic channels before President Zelensky announced that two North Korean prisoners of war had been handed over to South Korea, but South Korea did not know how Zelensky would express it. South Korea knew in advance that the relevant information might be disclosed, but hoped that the transfer would be handled in a low-key and speedy manner. Later, it expressed strong regret and demanded an apology due to Ukraine's unilateral disclosure. Ukraine denied the existence of a confidentiality agreement. Zelensky announced in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on the 23rd that two captured North Korean soldiers would be sent to South Korea. The two were captured in Russia's Kusk Oblast in January 2025.
