Russia has attracted about 20,000 North Korea workers to produce military goods. Such data provided in an interview with "Ukrinform" the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andriy Gnatov. Koreans were involved in the production of shock drones "Geranium" in the city of Elabuga of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Ukrainian military intelligence reported that it was 25,000-30,000 soldiers.
