πβοΈ FT: Russia is running out of Soviet weapons, with North Korea filling the gap.
According to the Kyiv School of Economics, supplies from Russian military depots to the front have almost halved since 2022, showing that old stockpiles are running low. Even tanks from the 1940s are now being used.
In 2024, over half of the cargo marked as βexplosivesβ in Russian arsenals came from the North Korean port of Nakhodka. Pyongyang is also sending missiles, howitzers and troops.
Working from offices may contribute to a sense of workplace culture and unity for employees.
But there's evidence that flexible work can help a companyβs performance and inclusivity, while hard rules on either in-office or at-home work can negatively affect employee health, reports Isaac Phan Nay. #canlab
