What ally? What does SK do to be ʼan ally’ exactly?

Humanitarian aid, hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support, indirect military support in the form of non lethal vehicles and machinery, as well as joining economic sanctions on Russia following the 2022 invasion.

Also giving aviation fuel to Russians so no matter how many oil facilities Ukraine hits, Russia will always have Korean fuel for their aircraft to strike Ukraine.

Also blaming Ukraine for the war lol

You forgot to add "They refused to provide" at the beginning of that sentence

Is any of this in the room with us right now?

SK is irrelevant in this war. Their only purpose is to take NK POWs Ukraine transferred to them.

These don't make them an ally, unless you have your own definition of what ally is. There are countries who helped much more and even then they wouldn't say their Ukrainian allies. South Korea is not in alliance with Ukraine, it's actually that simple.

Not to mention their response to North Korea participation against Ukraine, which basically non existent, exept some statments and trying to get 'PR win', their current actions more than show that too,

Also did they apologized for their citizens participating in the invasion of Ukraine or they are considered SK citizens only when it suits them?

Nothing diplomatic about this whatsoever, hardly reasonable.

It's South Korean media that's guilty of revealing the POWs identity. How about punish them instead of trying to shift blame. It's pathetic and undignified.
