- North Korean labour was advertised online to Russian factories in reporting by the Financial Times.
- Russia uses North Korean forced labour to sustain its war against Ukraine; the Kyiv Post and NBC News reported that some workers sent to Russia are helping that war effort.
Why it matters: Russia gains access to North Korean workers for its factories as some of them support the war effort against Ukraine; reporting also characterizes the labour as forced. That makes the online labour channel a wartime resource, not merely a factory-staffing arrangement.
