North Korean Forced Labor Fuels Russian Military and DPRK Arms Programs

A new report reveals that North Korean workers are being sold to Russian employers, often linked to the military industry, working 18-hour days with most earnings going to the North Korean state. This forced labor directly benefits Russia's military machine and North Korea's weapons program, indicating a deepening of bilateral cooperation in defense supply chains. The report's findings are based on investigative journalism and are partially corroborated by prior reports of North Korean labor deployments to Russia.
