Components from the USA in a missile from North Korea
Zelensky emphasized that the details of the missile are still under investigation. However, it is already known that it contained at least 116 components imported from other countries, most of which were manufactured in the USA.
"The lack of pressure on Russia allows them to import such missiles and other weapons and use them here in Europe. The lack of pressure on North Korea and its allies enables them to produce such ballistic missiles," Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
Joint defense as the key to security
The President of Ukraine noted that in today's world, any war can quickly involve many different actors.
"Any country that becomes a victim of aggression is always defending itself not against a single entity, but against a group of accomplices," he added.
Zelensky expressed gratitude to all those supporting Ukraine by supplying air defense systems and missiles and exerting pressure on Russia and its allies.
