Ukraine believes Russia shared jet-drone technology with North Korea, says Zelensky
What happened
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine believes Russia shared jet-drone technology with North Korea, which has provided Moscow with weapons for the war.
Russia has recently used more jet-powered drones against Ukraine, which Zelensky said has no effective countermeasure beyond combat aircraft.
North Korea earlier sent Russia millions of artillery shells and later ballistic missiles used to attack Ukrainian cities, according to the report.
Zelensky said Russia was sharing all technologies with North Korea, though he did not know whether this included ballistic technology.
“Yes, of course.”
