Russian envoy says North Korea could send workers to breakaway Ukrainian states

Pyongyang recognized the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) last week in a move that Kyiv swiftly condemned, leading to angry exchanges between the Ukrainian and DPRK foreign ministries.
