"Cheap Power": The Kremlin wants to send North Korea citizens to Donbas
The North Korean Ambassador to Moscow recently met with two representatives of the occupied territories of Donbass and expressed optimism in the field of labor migration. According to the ambassador, his country weakens the border restrictions on pandemic. This idea is openly supported by high -ranking officials and diplomats who are counting on the cheap workforce of hard -working Koreans.
According to the Russian ambassador to North Korea, the North Koreans can be thrown into the "most difficult conditions". According to Rebecca Coffler, a former US military intelligence officer who specializes in the Russian Federation, from a reputational point of view, Putin is trying to show that Russia is not fully isolated and has friends, despite rigid sanctions.
"From a practical point of view, this makes sense: who else will it do? In the Donbass the difficult conditions, in addition, the Russian troops have difficulties with recruitment of recruits," the expert explained. In July, North Korea became the only country, except for the Russian Federation and Syria, which recognized the "independence" of the occupied territories of Donbass.
It is estimated by human rights groups, in the last few years, the North Korean dictator Kim Jong -in has directed tens of thousands of impoverished citizens into labor camps in Russia. This generates income to the North Korean regime. Recall that North Korea is approaching the Kremlin against the background of war. The Russian leadership will help the DPRK with military technologies. Earlier, Focus reported that in the DPRK, parliamentary deputies cursed after reports of Kermanich's illness.
