President Volodymyr Zelensky heard the reports from military commanders and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, including as regards countering drones and missiles Russia gets from North Korea.
The head of state reported this in a video address to the nation, posted on Tuesday, June 10, Ukrinform reports.
“Today came reports from the military, we spoke separately with Defense Minister Umerov. This is about us countering drones, about missile defense, about strengthening our air defenses,” said the president.
Zelensky added that the ballistic missiles Russia launches at Ukrainian cities have been manufactured in the DPRK.
“The Russians have again used missiles from North Korea, ballistic ones. We also see data on the transfer of Russian-Iranian drone technology to North Korea, which is extremely dangerous for both Europe and the region of East and Southeast Asia. The longer this war lasts on our land, the more combat-tested technologies will change and the greater a threat will become to everyone. We need to respond to this now, and not after thousands of advanced Shaheds and ballistic missiles start to threaten Seoul and Tokyo,” Zelensky stressed.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the night of June 10, civil infrastructure in Ukraine came under Russian missile and drone attacks. Fires broke out at 19 locations.
