Sandu's victory will most likely come from the votes of the diaspora; more than 70% of voters supported her at polling stations abroad.

Russia has quickly run out of ballot papers for the Moldovan presidential election

The Moldovan authorities have allocated only 10,000 ballot papers for voting in Russia, although the diaspora numbers at least 500,000 people.

North Korea is believed to have dispatched thousands of soldiers to Russia to support its invasion of Ukraine, with thousands more anticipated to join by the year’s end, according to South Korean intelligence and military officials.

While the National Intelligence Service said in its latest analysis the costs of North Korea stepping into the war seem to outweigh the benefits, other experts in Seoul say Pyongyang can now expect Moscow to have its back in a possible contingency on the Korean Peninsula.

The NIS reported to the Assembly last week that each North Korean soldier sent to fight for Russia would be paid a monthly wage of around $2,000. At least 10,000 North Korean soldiers are believed to be headed for Ukraine, translating to yearly revenue of well over $200 million, the lawmaker said.

In addition to troops, about 4,000 North Korean workers are currently in Russia, according to the NIS. Their average wage is thought to be about $800 a month.

Wi said every year on average, North Korea produces around 4 million tons of grain such as rice, barley and wheat, according to its own announcement. But most of the country’s “rice production” is actually potatoes, with rice thought to make up less than a third of the total, he explained.

“The 4 million tons of grains that North Korea says it produces per year are actually about 1 million tons short of what it needs to feed the country. If Russia is offering 600,000 to 700,000 tons of rice, that is enough to cover more than half of what North Korea would need to meet the year’s demand,” he said.

The lawmaker said Russia had sent North Korea 50,000 to 100,000 tons of rice at a time in the past. “So you could say 600,000 tons is a bit more than the rice aid they received from Russia previously,” he said.

Now that Russia is buying artillery shells from North Korea, much of the food shortage was “probably relieved through the arms trade,” he said. “By selling a few containers worth of artillery shells, Pyongyang can afford a lot more than hundreds of thousands of tons of rice.”

The NIS reported to the Assembly last week that Russia is also believed to be helping North Korea with advanced space technology, as Pyongyang seeks to launch another military reconnaissance satellite.

Got Rice?
