Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated on October 4 that Russia might have shared jet-drone technology with North Korea, given their history of military cooperation. This comes amid increased use by Russia of such drones in its conflict with Ukraine. Zelenskiy noted previous exchanges between Russia and North Korea, including the provision of artillery shells and ballistic missiles from Pyongyang to Moscow during the war. South Korea and Western nations have expressed concern over possible technology transfers that could aid North Korea’s weapons development.

Story summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Sunday that he believes Russia shared jet-drone technology with its long-standing ally, North Korea. In recent weeks, Russia has intensified the use of these drones against Ukraine, which currently lacks effective countermeasures other than using combat aircraft. Earlier in the war, North Korea supplied Russia with millions of artillery shells and continues to provide ballistic missiles that Moscow uses to attack Ukrainian cities. Zelensky confirmed during a press conference: "Yes, of course," when asked if Russia shared drone technology with North Korea because Pyongyang aided them with missile supplies. South Korea and Western countries have expressed concerns over potential weapons development assistance between Moscow and Pyongyang in exchange for military support from North Korea.
