MOSCOW (Sputnik) – South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has apologized for imposing martial law in the country and said he will not impose it again ahead of the upcoming impeachment vote, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing his statement.

“I am sincerely sorry and apologize to the people who must have been very surprised. I will not avoid legal and political responsibility related to this martial law declaration,” Yoon said in a televised public address.

He vowed to leave all decisions, including his term, to his People Power Party to decide in order to stabilize the nation, the report said.
