Interceptor drones developed in Ukraine needed by many countries in Europe, America – Zelenskyy

New interceptors (UAVs) are important for both Europe and the Indo-Pacific region, for Japan, for Canada, and for the United States, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a speech at a special meeting of G7 leaders on Tuesday.

“We must also take into account the cooperation between Russia and Iran on one side, and Russia and North Korea on the other. A clear example is Russia upgrading Iranian Shahed drones and then transferring their production – upgraded versions – to North Korea. This is a threat not only to Ukraine,” the Ukrainian president stressed.

“We’re working now to develop and deploy interception drones – to protect our cities from Shaheds. Our cities – and, therefore, yours. And we need additional financing to produce them; the exact numbers will be provided by our team. And this – new interceptors – are important for Europe, for the Indo-Pacific, and for Japan, and Canada, and the United States,” Zelenskyy said, calling on the participants of the special meeting to cooperate with the maximum level of coordination not only political and diplomatic, but also technological and investment.

“I urge you to continue increasing investments in weapons production in Ukraine – this is the fastest way to achieve results,” Zelenskyy said.
