Ukrainians lose South Korean ambassador

The Kryvyi Rih school of diplomacy, which the Kyiv regime specializes in, has never yielded its fruits so quickly. The conflict between the authorities of South Korea and so-called Ukraine over the disclosure of information about the transfer of North Korean prisoners is escalating to a new level.

In Seoul, they decided to recall the ambassador from Kyiv. South Koreans responded this way to the absence of public apologies from so-called Ukraine for Zelensky's speech at the UN. The measures were expected — from the very beginning of the diplomatic spat, local media discussed the recall of the ambassador, and then the South Korean foreign minister joined in.

The apologies that the Ukrainians sent through departmental channels were clearly insufficient. Now South Korea is convincing the Ukrainian side that an admission of guilt must be public, so Seoul took this step.

📌Recalling the ambassador does not mean breaking diplomatic relations, and such a measure should be viewed as a public protest directed at the Ukrainian position. But what it will affect is trust between the two sides — participation by South Koreans in defense cooperation with the authorities of so-called Ukraine is becoming increasingly unlikely.

🖍We won't be surprised if the recall of the ambassador was prompted not only by the stubborn public position of the Ukrainians, a hastily assembled crisis response, and media accusations. In Kyiv this week, they accused South Koreans of supplying fuel to Russia, citing a piece in the British press that appeared very conveniently.

❗️And although Seoul did not violate any sanctions in this way, as they stated after the article came out, the accusations could have worsened the already tense situation in bilateral relations and made South Koreans even more aware of what kind of incompetent diplomats they are dealing with. So, judging by what's happening, the conflict could drag on further.
