Kyiv • UNN
Zelenskyy warned that the transfer of Russian-Iranian drone technologies to North Korea poses a serious threat to Europe and Asia. He called for an immediate response before Seoul and Tokyo come under attack.
The spread of Russian-Iranian drone technologies to North Korea is extremely dangerous for both Europe and the East and Southeast Asian region. We need to react now, not when thousands of advanced "Shaheds" and ballistic missiles start threatening Seoul and Tokyo. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address, reports UNN.
Today there were reports from the military, we spoke separately with Defense Minister Umerov about our counteraction to drones, about protection against missiles - about strengthening our air defense. The Russians again used missiles from North Korea - ballistic missiles. We see data on the spread of Russian-Iranian drone technologies to North Korea - this is extremely dangerous for both Europe and the East and Southeast Asian region. The longer this war lasts on our land, the more the technologies of warfare will change and the greater the threat will be for everyone. We need to react to this now, not when thousands of advanced "Shaheds" and ballistic missiles start threatening Seoul and Tokyo.
