Presidential candidate under fire for attacking Ukraine's President

Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), has sparked controversy over his remarks about Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a TV debate Friday.

During the TV debate held, Friday, Lee said a novice politician with six months of political experience had become the country's leader and caused a major clash by inciting Russia with a hasty promise regarding Ukraine's admission into NATO.

"President Zelenskyy has been staying in Kyiv and leading his country's fight against Russia rather than fleeing, but Lee's remarks were an act of mocking 72 percent of the Ukrainian people who are supporting him," Yoon wrote on Facebook, adding that Lee's accusation of Zelenskyy was the outcome of ignorance.
