Ukraine-Russia war latest: British parts found in Russian drones used to attack Kyiv, says Zelensky
Volodymyr Zelensky has criticised allied nations, including the UK and the US, after Western parts were found in Russian drones used to attack Ukraine on Sunday.
Writing on X, Zelensky said microcomputers for flight control, manufactured in the UK, were found in drones involved in the assault. Other parts from allied countries, including the US, were also identified.
Sunday’s combined drone and missile strike on Lviv resulted in the deaths of four people, including a 15-year-old, and left six others injured.
“Unfortunately, many critical components are still being supplied to Russia from Europe and the US. And we are not talking about a dozen components, but hundreds of thousands of components, purely commercial supplies,” he said in his nightly address.
This comes after former German chancellor Angela Merkel said Poland and the Baltic states bear some of the blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, citing the Minsk accords.
“Not everyone supported this, above all the Baltic states, but Poland was also against it,” Merkel told Hungarian news outlet Partizan.
And Donald Trump has said he would like to know how Ukraine plans to use US-made Tomahawk missiles before supplying them to the war-hit nation.
