Seoul has called for an official apology from Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released what it says was supposed to be a secret transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea.
Zelenskyy told the UN General Assembly last week that Ukraine had recently sent the men to South Korea after capturing them on a Ukraine-Russia battlefield in early 2025.
The two are among thousands of North Korean soldiers sent to support Russia’s war against Ukraine. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung quickly accused Ukraine of violating a nondisclosure agreement about the transfer. Ukraine denied making such a deal.
President Donald Trump has asked Chinese President Xi Jinping if he wanted to buy weapons from the United States, the U.S. ambassadors to China said.
This offer comes after Trump hosted Xi for a state visit in Washington.
Minneapolis police are still searching for the suspect of a hit-and-run in Minneapolis late Saturday morning. Police say the crash happened around 11:43 a.m. off North Glenwood and Girard avenues. One of the drivers had two people inside the vehicle, both of which were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.
