Ukraine believes Russia shared jet-drone technology with North Korea, says Zelenskiy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on October 4 that he believes Russia has shared technology for its latest jet-powered attack drones with North Korea, without identifying a specific system or providing evidence of the transfer. His remarks followed a sharp increase in Russia's use of jet-powered drones against Ukraine, which have proved difficult to intercept. North Korea has supplied Moscow with millions of artillery shells and ballistic missiles, while thousands of North Korean soldiers have served in Russia's war effort. South Korea and Western governments have previously expressed concern that Pyongyang could receive Russian weapons-development assistance in return.
