South Korean edition: North Korea prepares construction teams to be sent to Donbass

The DPRK 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. It is reported by the South Korean news online newspaper Daily NK.

According to the publication, employees of construction companies were selected in North Korea to be sent to the “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 in late February - mid-March. Previously, Pyongyang may send in the first batch of 300 to 500 construction workers. But this is not the limit, if necessary, the number of workers can be increased.

In Russia, they do not comment on this publication in any way, so we cannot say whether there is permission to involve North Korean workers in reconstruction work in the Donbass. 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, the head of the Russian government, Marat Khusnullin, who oversees the restoration of the liberated territories, welcomed the involvement of builders from the DPRK in this process. As stated, North Korean specialists work very well and their prices are low.

Last summer, representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk negotiated with Pyongyang for help, the DPRK authorities promised to do everything possible to restore the Donbass. It was noted that North Korea was famous for its highly skilled builders who worked in many countries. This practice almost came to naught after the United States imposed economic sanctions against the DPRK.

At present, significant forces have been involved in the construction of facilities on the territory of the new constituent entities of the Russian Federation, work is going on around the clock, but help from the DPRK will not be superfluous.

Comments

[voice of reason]

Finally! We have been waiting for this decision for a long time. For starters, a couple of three divisions of volunteer military builders. Donbass really needs working hands and warm hearts of true friends. And Russia will provide military builders from North Korea with the necessary weapons. equipment, translators and command. Let's save Donbass together.

Once a Korean team worked for a subcontractor, they did brickwork. Our price was bent, but the estimate did not allow. Koreans, even taking into account the services of a "pimp", were 30% cheaper. They worked quickly, coherently and quite qualitatively.

[bobba94]

A neighbor hired Korean tilers to lay tiles in the bathroom and toilet. They did it twice cheaper than our tilers, they did it twice as fast, they did it with high quality. They worked on weekends, asked for leave from their foreman. It was in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk about 12 years ago

[Vashek]

Not certainly in that way. They also have good tools. For example, 170 mm.

[Alan81]

you wanted to say that Russia will provide military builders with cement, mortar, bricks and fittings?

[75 Sergey]

What does "occupied" mean?
Are they not studying the history of Russia there?
Explain to them - the liberated!!!

M.b. This is a South Korean edit.

[KolVisin]

It's true. Although perhaps this is "translation features".

Korean construction battalions. Everyone benefits except South Korea.

Korean construction battalions.

Veiled special forces.

North Korea prepares construction teams to be sent to Donbass

I remember that Cuban builders in Grenada notably trolled the Amer special forces! It looks like this is from the same construction opera!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

The main thing is that American mercenaries should not be caught by Korean builders somewhere. Koreans, not our Foreign Ministry, will not whine and moan.

in North Korea passed the selection of employees of construction companies

I can imagine on what basis they selected tank biathlon, trap shooting and hand-to-hand combat. Well, welcome.

[Speedy]

The DPRK is preparing 3 motorized rifle construction brigades, a tank construction regiment and 4 artillery construction brigades. Also 3 battalions of special forces finishers.

[Beetle1991]

You are probably wishful thinking.

Why would Kim get into someone else's conflict? Where are the national interests of the DPRK?

The Koreans do not have construction battalions, but a labor army!
Met and talked with their "captain" in the 80s. There were a lot of them along the BAM highway. They were engaged in logging.

[Beetle1991]

South Korea will lose nothing by sending builders to Donbass.
The authorities of the South Caucasus do not care. They are more concerned with internal affairs.

These do the job and do it well. In the 90s in Khabarovsk, Dalspetsstroy used builders from the DPRK for the construction of civilian facilities - excellent hard workers, strict discipline, diligence, which is worth learning from. Naturally, there are some bells and whistles - with each brigade there is a certain "captain" and obviously a representative of the DPRK MOB, the selection in Korea is very strict, after returning to their homeland, quarantine (they said up to a year).

[igorbrsv]

Once upon a time, Soviet citizens were like that - discipline, diligence ...

[Ivan Ivanov]

I hope these are Nordic athletes, and we hope we will finally lift the sanctions and the half-empty railway between us will work at the traffic limit

[KolVisin]

Well, yes, these were all our concessions to the West. But now the times are different.

[igorbrsv]

With the beginning of their trade with them went up. True unofficially

[dmi.pris1]

Lately I've been watching a YouTube video about the restoration of Mariupol. Builders from all over the country, many non-Slavic people .. If this is true, then why don't the Koreans take part. The guys are smart and hardworking. and 80s

[Alex777]

In the Far East, they work despite the sanctions. Everyone is fine.

[Ivan Ivanov]

I had to deal with ethnic Koreans in the 80s and 90s

And recently, near Moscow, in Zavidovo, they built beautifully

[Piramidon]

In Russia, they do not comment on this publication in any way, so we cannot say whether there is permission to involve North Korean workers in reconstruction work in the Donbass.

Oh, I'm afraid it will get bogged down in the liberal-bureaucratic corridors of the Russian ministries.

[BARKAS]

Who will then persuade them to return home? They can mix with the local Rostov diaspora.

[Roma 1977]

For God's sake. An extra Korean has never hurt anyone.

. Conversations, around the bush, will be many and even more!
Let's wait and see how it actually happens.

[withoutreverse]

It's a good news. Ours also died for the DPRK! I hope they are with their standard weapons! (that is, with shovels and hoes .. which are with sights, and vertical take-offs.)

[Alexander 3]

Yes, there are many Koreans in our country and no one complains about life. The same Russian, no harassment. I studied at school with Koreans, and our neighbors were Koreans.

I was born and raised in Primorye, therefore, Koreans are always with us side by side. Practically the same as all Russians. Only with a slight difference - they know how to cook very tasty and original. And also great specialists in growing vegetables.

Father was "recruited" in 1962 to harvest sugar cane in Cuba. Before Cuba (a native of the Vologda Oblast), he had never seen sugar cane in his eyes. But the Motherland said - "We need help"

[Ivan Ivanov]

It is remarkable in itself that our real allies turn out to be mainly the "leftists", on whose idea we have been officially pissing for 30+ years. the same rallies in Europe against the supply of weapons (Greece, Italy) were organized by the left. And our right-wing friends, the Lipens and Meloni (how much noise there was) are ready to drive the weapons further.

[zontov79]

I don’t understand why we still support sanctions against the DPRK!! It’s just impudent and revealing to start trading with them in weapons, oil, gas, and helping with food.

[igorbrsv]

Trade is on. Just not at the level of agreements. on the quiet

[withoutreverse]

I think after SVO .. everything in the world should change. all international institutions screwed up. And whether they are needed is a big question.

[Arzoo]

I don’t understand why we still support sanctions against the DPRK!! It’s just impudent and revealing to start trading with them in weapons, oil, gas, and helping with food.

This is China's position.

[Beetle1991]

1) That is, to violate the sanctions of the UN Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member.
2) Kim has nothing special to pay. You offer essentially the old scheme, when the USSR contained Cuba, Eastern European allies and other friends.
It will be a one-sided game.
3) and probably the most important thing: The supply of weapons to the DPRK promises bad prospects in relations with South Korea. According to the results of pre-war 2021, the economy of the Republic of Korea amounted to $1,8 trillion, the economy of the Russian Federation was $1,7 trillion. That is, even before the NWO, the economy of South Korea was larger than the Russian one. Defense spending $50 billion. The Republic of Korea is a major arms manufacturer, already squeezing out the United States in the European arms market. And not only tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled guns, but also missile weapons. Won Poland ordered about 300 K-239 missile systems, the states did not pull such an order. They would not have delivered 300 Hymars in 10 years. Koreans quickly rivet, and much cheaper.
And if you start supplying weapons to the DPRK, there is no doubt that at least the southerners will begin to give their junk from the storage bases to the ukrams. Well, all sorts of t-80s that they received for debts too.
Korea is almost the only pro-American country that has not joined in the supply of weapons to Ukrainians and sanctions against Russia. Deliveries of semiconductors for civilian industries are still ongoing. But everything can change.

It's a "good idea" to start supplying weapons to another country, essentially for free, when you yourself don't have enough. At the same time get a lot of other problems.
And for what?????
To annoy the Americans?

Genius plan.

Korea does not climb into the Donbass, and Russia should not climb into Korea.

[Zaurbek]

The North Koreans work and build well. In Adygea, after the flood, they were attracted. Brick houses were erected like robots. They love beer.

[Uprun]

To begin with, lay the bricks together, and there, God willing, beat the enemies together ...., and they have been alone with us for more than a dozen years.

[1erWahrheitsMinister_1984]

Wirklich sehr originell...!!

Die Südkoreaner nennen ihre Divisionen von "US-Bauteams"
"Beater"...!!
Die Nordkoreanischen "Bauarbeiter" sind jedenfalls ganz
sicher herzlich willkommen...; sicher kommen auch noch
andere "Geschenke" von Kim...!!!!!!!!

[Orkraider]

Previously, Pyongyang may send in the first batch of 300 to 500 construction workers. But this is not the limit, if necessary, the number of workers can be increased.

Can you increase it to 30-50 thousand workers? Very missing hands

[Vashek]

It's high time to invite the experts. At least for the grain, which, they say, a breakthrough. The main thing is that our hillocks ... do not play.

[yho]

Not bad idea. I would replace the State Duma deputies with North Korean ones. And the money saved could be transferred to the needs of the SVO.

[aleks700]

From 300 to 500. Probably thousands? Why be petty? And let them bring construction equipment with them, well, there are howitzers, tanks ...

[Oleg Starovoitov]

it's time to send not only builders but also the type of volunteers

[Egevich]

but they are really ready to fight with us shoulder to shoulder in the same trench ... and I believe them ...

[Ulan.1812]

This is good and right. Of course, we would have coped with the Donbass ourselves.
But here the time factor also plays a role.
Cities and the main housing need to be restored quickly and help will come in handy.

[Armen Sologyan]

Russia needs to take North Korea under its protection!!! North Korea remembers the help that the USSR provided to North Korea in the 50s of the 20th century! It's time to be an alliance Russia-China-North Korea-Vietnam!!!

[Nikolaevich I]

Will the builders bring the tools with them or will they have to be supplied on site?

[ASM]

Just watch very carefully so that for a cup of rice and a chicken wing they do not completely bring down our third market (which has already been hooked with all sorts of jamshuts).

[hector]

Last summer, representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk negotiated with Pyongyang for help, the DPRK authorities promised to do everything possible to restore the Donbass.

Strange, did they not remember Russia, or did she herself not burn with the desire to restore? Although the history of the last eight years and the Crimea leads to sad thoughts.
