Escapes increase as North Korean workers in Russia are told to ship out to Ukraine
American Military News ^ | 10/29/22 | Radio Free Asia

More and more North Korean construction workers deployed to Russia are escaping from their jobs after hearing they are to be sent to Russian-controlled areas in Ukraine, sources in Russia told RFA.

The cash-strapped North Korean government sends legions of workers to Russia to earn desperately needed foreign currency. Workers forward the lion’s share of their salaries to the government, but what they get to keep is greater than what they could earn doing similar work back home.

But now that there is demand for construction in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, increasing numbers of North Korean construction workers are abandoning their jobs and going into hiding, a Russian citizen of Korean descent told RFA’s Korean Service on condition of anonymity for security reasons.

Nothing screams “a winning cause” like having to kidnap slave labor/cannon fodder.

Well, to be fair, they’re really there for cheap labor for reconstruction in Ukraine.

You know, kinda like how we use millions of illegal aliens here as cheap labor.

About 95% of the illegals in US are cheap labor for the Mexican drug cartels that brought them here - they aren’t fit for much else.

“Living” in North Korea or fighting Putin’s war in Ukraine.

I would opt for the 3rd option.

All our illegals really tried hard to get here, and struggle to stay here.

The Norks probably have no choice in the matter, and like many Russians are struggling to get out of Russia or Russian work spaces.

What a stunning contrast.

I have no idea if that’s true. Apparently their net take-home pay is more than they get at home so there are likely many volunteers. They aren’t going for combat duty but for reconstruction work in the rear, supposedly secure areas.
