South Korea is recalling its ambassador from Kyiv after Ukraine failed to issue a public apology for President Zelensky’s UN remarks on North Korean prisoners of war.
Seoul says private, channel-level apologies were not enough and wants a public admission. The recall is a formal protest, it further strains trust and makes deeper defense cooperation less likely.
The dispute, which began over Ukraine’s disclosure of details on transferred North Korean POWs, shows no sign of easing.

NEW: Russia is going to provide drones to Iran via North Korea
Report claims up to 25,000 North Koreans may be involved in UAV production in Russia — including Geran-series drones at the Alabuga special economic zone in Tatarstan.
They allegedly enter as “students” on visas to skirt sanctions. Alabuga is framed as both an educational and production site.
Russia gets labor for a critical sector. North Korea gets foreign currency and hands-on drone assembly experience as Pyongyang rapidly builds its own UAV industry.
BREAKING: There will be even more Russia's jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones.
Ukrainian OSINT just dropped satellite shots of Alabuga. New workshops are rising in the south of the special economic zone: at least five long production halls already up, roads cut, more buildings still going in.
It’s scale.
The FT reported Iran has already asked Russia for Gerans. The drone is no longer just a battlefield tool — it’s a brand. Iran, China, Cuba, India and others are the next market.
They’re building the factory floor now so there are enough the Russian drones for everyone.

🇷🇺🇮🇷 How Russia's new drones are (massively) changing the air war (Financial Times) with Iran asking Russia for its state of the art Geran Drones.
“Russia’s drone capabilities have improved so much that Tehran asked Moscow this year for advanced Geran drones for use in its war with Israel and the US, according to western security officials and a person close to the Kremlin.”
Iran may have supplied the original Shahed concept, but 4 years of relentless combat use in Ukraine transformed it into something far more sophisticated.
Through constant battlefield testing, modification and mass production, Russia has evolved the platform well beyond its initial design. Reports now suggest Tehran is interested in acquiring Russia’s latest iterations of the drone.
The newest jet powered Geran variants are faster, carry heavier warheads, and feature upgraded targeting systems, communications suites and enhanced resistance to electronic warfare.
The evolution has been so extensive that analysts at CSIS recently assessed that Russia has effectively mastered the platform, turning an imported design into a combat proven system refined through continuous real world operational experience.
