Part 8/9:
Despite a United Nations ban intended to prohibit North Korean labor exports, evidence suggests that more than 10,000 North Koreans have arrived in Russia in the past year alone, with plans for many more. Their presence is widespread across various sectors, including construction, IT, and manufacturing, and some may even be used to rebuild areas in Ukraine occupied by Russian forces.
The human rights abuses inflicted upon these workers highlight a broader pattern of exploitation and oppression, making their plight a stark reminder of the brutal policies of both regimes. As the war continues, the international community faces mounting concern over the treatment of these North Korean laborers and the strategic alliance fueling the conflict.
