General Kim takes at least 70% of wages! US think tank: 12,000 North Korean workers sent to Russia for forced drone production ZH金將軍至少抽7成工資! 美智庫: 1.2萬北韓勞工被送俄強迫造無人機
Newtalk新聞 俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的戰爭持續至今已超過四年,為了填補前線武器、人員的短缺,莫斯科加強了與平壤間的合作,持續引進北韓的砲彈與士兵。近期有美國智庫發布報告,稱北韓將約 1.2 萬名勞工送往俄羅斯進行強迫勞動,協助組裝「沙赫德」無人機,且超過 7 成的報酬可能遭到平壤當局抽成,相關消息也瞬間成為國際輿論的關注焦點。 X 推主「NOELREPORTS」、「Inty News」指出,美國智庫戰略與國際問題研究中心 ( CSIS ) 近期與喬治. W .布希研究所發布聯合報告,宣稱北韓將約 1.2 萬名勞工直接送往俄羅斯的阿拉布加經濟特區,強迫相關人員進行勞動,協助俄方組裝沙赫德無人機。 該報告表示,這些勞工每小時僅能拿約 2.5 美元 ( 折合新台幣約 81.06 元 ) 的報酬,且該筆薪資還可能被平壤當局抽走 70% 至 90 % ,工作待遇極差。除了被強迫勞動的北韓勞工外,無人機的組裝工廠也會僱用俄羅斯的年輕人與其他外國勞工,「俄羅斯總統普丁與北韓最高領導人金正恩的戰爭機器,把廉價勞動力都綁在了一起」。延伸閱讀:葉門政府軍第35裝甲旅遭重創! 旅長及3營長陣亡 …
