Government Withdraws from Lviv Temporary Office "Rising Military Threat"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] As Russian forces expanded their attacks near Lviv in western Ukraine, the government decided to withdraw the temporary office operating in the area.
On the 17th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, "Due to the escalating military threat near Lviv, it has become difficult to perform the functions of the temporary office and ensure the safety of diplomatic staff," adding, "Our diplomatic personnel working at the Lviv temporary office will be relocated to neighboring countries."
According to foreign media, on the 13th (local time), Russian forces conducted airstrikes on the Yavoriv training ground, located only 25 km from the Polish border.
With the withdrawal of the Lviv temporary office, the dispersed work locations for the staff of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Ukraine will be reduced to two places: Chernivtsi near Romania and a location within Romania.
