Russia is letting thousands of new North Korean workers enter the country,... and is issuing fresh work permits - actions U.S. officials say potentially violate UN sanctions.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday,... more than 10-thousand new North Korean workers have registered in Russia,...with at least 700 new work permits being issued this year.
The UN Security Council in September barred governments from issuing new work permits to North Koreans,... although some existing permits were allowed to continue.
While UN sanctions contain some narrow exceptions,... officials are investigating to determine whether Russia is violating the ban.
