[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 23rd that a South Korean Marine deserter, who was denied entry into Ukraine, left Poland and is currently missing.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, "It has been confirmed that the deserter, Mr. A, left the Polish border guard building in the early morning of the 23rd local time," adding, "He is currently unreachable, making it difficult to determine his whereabouts."

Mr. A attempted to enter Ukraine from Poland but was denied entry at the Ukrainian border checkpoint.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "Since Mr. A was denied entry once, it seems difficult for him to re-enter Ukraine," and added, "We will continue to closely share information with Polish and Ukrainian authorities and persistently track Mr. A's whereabouts to ensure his safe return home."
