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.
The decision by the Korea International Cooperation Agency to repatriate the agency employee was made after a security meeting, Yonhap reported.
It cited an agency official who did not mention the dispute over the prisoners of war. The other employee will remain in Kyiv, the report added.
