South Korea-Russia Diplomatic Relations Deteriorate: South Summons Russian Envoy to Protest North Korea-Russia Agreement; Russian Diplomat Involved in Drunk Driving Incident

Reported 8 months ago

The diplomatic relationship between South Korea and Russia is rapidly deteriorating due to Russian President Putin signing a 'North Korea-Russia Strategic Partnership Agreement' with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which has triggered a backlash from South Korea. As a response, South Korea not only summoned the Russian Ambassador but also demanded Russia to withdraw the agreement. Additionally, a Russian diplomat in South Korea was involved in a drunk driving incident on Thursday night and declined a breathalyzer test citing diplomatic immunity. Both incidents have angered the South Korean populace, leading to tensions between the two countries.
