North Korea is ready to take part in the restoration of the destroyed cities and villages of Donbass, the country's authorities declare their readiness to send construction teams to new Russian regions. This is reported by the South Korean online news newspaper Daily NK..
According to the publication, in North Korea, employees of construction companies were selected to be sent to “Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine” to participate in the restoration of civilian infrastructure destroyed by the war. Sending, if it takes place, will take place at the end of February – mid March. Pre, Pyongyang can send in the first batch from 300 to 500 construction workers. But this is not the limit, if need be, the number of workers can be increased.
In Russia, they do not comment on this publication in any way., so say, is there permission to involve North Korean workers in reconstruction work in the Donbass, we can not. Previously, Pyongyang directly discussed this issue with Donetsk and Luhansk, but now these are Russian regions and everything is decided through Moscow. However, back in August last year, Russian Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, in charge of the restoration of the liberated territories, welcomed the involvement of builders from the DPRK in this process. As stated, North Korean specialists work very high quality and their prices are low.
Last summer, representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk negotiated with Pyongyang for help, North Korean authorities promised to do everything possible, to restore Donbass. It noted, that North Korea was famous for its highly skilled builders, who have worked in many countries. This practice has almost died out since, how the US imposed economic sanctions on North Korea.
Currently, significant forces are involved in the construction of facilities on the territory of the new subjects of the Russian Federation, work going on around the clock, but help from the DPRK will not be superfluous.
