Russian companies are hiring workers in North Korea. "They won't escape"

A recent investigation by Global Rights Compliance reveals that North Korean workers are being brought to Russia under the guise of educational exchange, with their labor being marketed online. The scheme is run by sanctioned businessman Vladimir Sokolov, who offers North Korean workers for a fee, ensuring that they do not escape. These workers endure harsh conditions, working long hours with minimal days off, while a significant portion of their earnings goes to the North Korean regime. This arrangement allows Russia to address labor shortages exacerbated by the Ukraine war, while North Korea benefits financially to support its military programs.
