国際｜ロシアが北朝鮮労働者を動員 / International | Russia Mobilizes North Korean Workers

Summary

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate has revealed that Russia plans to mobilize about 12,000 North Korean workers at a drone factory by the end of the year.

This move is believed to address the labor shortages resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and to strengthen its drone attack capabilities. Additionally, there has been notable attention on North Korean soldiers publicly demonstrating landmine removal activities in Russia.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey, Log, is it true that Russia is mobilizing workers from North Korea? Why would they do something like that?
Log: Well, Russia is facing a labor shortage due to its invasion of Ukraine, so they might have sought North Korea’s help to ramp up drone assembly.
Chako: Wow, making them work for 12 hours is tough!
Navi: There are concerns about the impact of long working hours on health regarding labor conditions.
Log: Yeah, I think it should be viewed as an issue from an international perspective as well.
Chako: Really, I wonder how this is all going to turn out.

Admin’s Note

This news is particularly interesting as it intertwines issues of international relations and labor conditions. I’m especially curious about the environment in which North Korean workers will be employed in Russia and the potential impact this may have on the international community. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, the problem of long working hours is serious. I look forward to monitoring how the international response and measures will develop in the future.
