What an irony. Following tonight’s massive Russian air attack on Ukraine, we discovered in Kyiv a component of a Russian-Iranian “Shahed-136″/”Geran-2” combat drone, which was made in China and supplied just recently.

“What an irony. Following tonight’s massive Russian air attack on Ukraine, we discovered in Kyiv a component of a Russian-Iranian ‘Shahed-136’/’Geran-2’ combat drone, which was made in China and supplied just recently. And right on the eve, the Chinese Consulate General’s building in Odesa suffered minor damage as a result of Russian strikes on the city. There is no better metaphor for how Putin continues to escalate his war and terror while involving others, including North Korean troops, Iranian weapons, and some Chinese manufacturers,” Sybiha stressed.
He noted that security in Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific is inextricably linked.
“This is not an attention competition. Countering Russian aggression and terror in Europe directly contributes to enhancing security in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. We urge the United States and the international community to increase pressure on both the regime in Moscow and its war budget, as well as everyone else around the world who supports Russia’s war effort and enables Putin to continue killing people in Ukraine,” Sybiha stressed.
As reported by Ukrinform, Ukrainian air defense forces neutralized 478 aerial targets, including two Iskander-K cruise missiles, which the Russians had been using since the evening of July 3. The main target of the attack was Kyiv.
