Kyiv has faced increasingly intense attacks by Russian drones and missiles in recent weeks, more than 4.5 years after the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine.

South Korea has also become embroiled in a diplomatic dispute with Ukraine and recalled its ambassador this month, accusing Kyiv of violating a confidentiality agreement concerning the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea.
