SEOUL: South Korea's foreign ministry said Tuesday it will withdraw some staff from its embassy in Ukraine, as a diplomatic row deepens over the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war to Seoul.
The two countries have been at loggerheads since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed the prisoner transfer last month, angering Seoul, which said the operation should have remained confidential to protect their families in North Korea.

首尔：韩国外交部周二表示，将撤回驻乌克兰大使馆的部分工作人员，此前因朝鲜战俘移送首尔而引发的外交争端不断加深。
自乌克兰总统泽连斯基上个月披露囚犯移交事件以来，两国关系一直处于紧张状态，这激怒了首尔方面，首尔方面表示，为了保护他们在朝鲜的家人，这项行动应该保密。
