“I would not like to call this an incident. Let’s say it’s a diplomatic misunderstanding,” said Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha. But the South Korean president definitely sees it as a serious incident, and he has already gone public with it.
“If (Ukraine’s) refusal to acknowledge the facts and issue a public apology continues, we will take additional measures,” President Lee Jae-myung wrote on X. He probably means cutting the non-military aid South Korea gives to Ukraine. (There is no military aid, since the constitution bans Seoul from providing arms to a country actively involved in a war).
