Newtalk新聞 烏克蘭總統澤連斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy）日前在聯合國大會上，公開先前遭烏軍俘虜2名北韓軍人已經轉交給韓國。不過，澤連斯基此發言立刻引發韓國不滿，總統李在明對於澤連斯基公開此非公開協議內容表示遺憾。韓國更是召回駐烏克蘭大使以表抗議。而韓國外交部今（20）日宣布，由於基輔當局仍為採取積極措施，因此決定撤離部分韓國駐烏克蘭大使館人員。 韓國外交部今日舉行例行記者會。發言人朴斗淳（音譯）宣布，韓國政府考量到，在召回駐烏克蘭大使後，基輔當局仍未採取「積極措施」，加上烏克蘭全境持續面臨空襲威脅，難以確保人員安全，因此決定撤離部分駐烏克蘭大使館人員。 有記者詢問，撤回部分駐烏克蘭大使館人員，是否也具有外交抗議的意味？朴斗淳直言，韓國已經透過多種管道向烏克蘭傳達韓國政府的立場。不過，在這些情況下，韓國仍認為烏克蘭沒有採取積極措施，因此決定採取這項行動。 朴斗淳表示，李在明先前已針對相關爭議表達立場，政府也透過召回駐烏克蘭大使、召見烏克蘭駐韓大使等外交手段，在不同層級明確傳達韓方要求。由於爭議涉及事實真相及韓國政府先前提出的具體要求，因此仍期待烏克蘭方面採取積極措施。 當媒體追問韓國是否要求烏克蘭公開道歉時，朴斗淳僅回應，韓國政府先前提出的立場並未改變，並再次呼籲烏克蘭方面正面回應韓方訴求，採取相應的積極措施。延伸閱讀：韓總統李在明施政滿意度上升2.1個百分點 但不滿意度仍達六成故意排除當事者？ 普丁提議中美俄三元首商討終結俄烏戰爭 但排除澤連斯基川普為放寬俄羅斯制裁辯護 控澤連斯基故意攻擊俄煉油廠要影響美國會選舉俄軍空襲烏克蘭釀10死！澤連斯基控盟友未預警 急會洛克希德馬丁爭取防空飛彈澤連斯基控美試圖迫使烏克蘭「投降」 目前每月只供給12枚愛國者攔截彈
