Oksana Torop, media adviser to Valerii Zaluzhnyi, posted:

Zelenskyy goes to New York and tells the whole world about the transfer of prisoners to South Korea. But there is a catch: an agreement between the countries and a non-disclosure agreement.

In the comments on the post, presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said the claim was untrue.

"There was no such agreement. That is not true. And it would be wrong to conceal what happens to prisoners," he said.

Lytvyn added that there had been no agreement to remain silent.

The Office of the President denied that it had agreed with Seoul not to disclose the handover of prisoners from the DPRK
