A diplomat's job is no walk in the park. And if you are a diplomat in North Korea, even the journey back home cam become too arduous. Eight Russian diplomats and their families — including a three-year-old girl — had to use a hand-pushed rail trolley to cross the border from North Korea to return to Russia. Why? Because North Korea has suspended all cross-border trains due to Covid restrictions. Video posted on Russia's foreign ministry's verified Telegram account showed the trolley, laden with suitcases and women, being pushed across a border railway bridge by Third Secretary Vladislav Sorokin, the only man in the group.
