“Now we have clear evidence that people are being supplied to Russia from North Korea, and these are not just workers for industries, but also military personnel. And we expect a normal, honest, strong reaction from our partners to this,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on October 20.
I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
Briefly about this day.
First, I want to acknowledge all our defenders of the skies who shoot down “Shahed” drones every night. This year – nearly every night, and sometimes in the mornings and during the day – we face the threat of “Shahed” drones. The strike drones given to Russia by Iran. They’ve become one of the main tools of Russian terror against Ukraine. And, unfortunately, the Russians and Iranians continue to improve them. We have always told our partners that it is necessary to be more decisive in countering such criminal alliances. Just this week, from Monday until today, there have been “Shaheds” every day. On October 18th alone, there were 129 of these drones. And since the beginning of the year, Russia has already used over 6,130 “Shaheds.” Our warriors manage to shoot down a significant portion of them. Electronic warfare systems help a lot, but not with everything. That’s why there needs to be more pressure on Russia’s ability to already produce these weapons. We need the capability to destroy not only the storage bases for the “Shaheds” but also the entire infrastructure for their production and logistics. Unfortunately, terrorists know how to take advantage of the time that the free world’s indecision gives them.
