Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated today that the Russian military, in addition to other weaponry, used missiles produced in North Korea during the massive attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure carried out the previous night.
“Technical assessments are underway at the sites hit by ballistic missiles. According to preliminary information, at one of the main energy infrastructure facilities that suffered damage, the Russians used KN-23 type missiles, which were produced and supplied by North Korea,” Zelensky said on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
Zelensky accused Moscow of intensifying attacks in order to put pressure on Kyiv ahead of trilateral talks between representatives of Russia, the US, and Ukraine, scheduled for next week in Abu Dhabi.
“By intensifying attacks on Ukraine and our infrastructure at this very moment, Russia is seeking to create conditions to exert pressure on the positions of Ukraine and its partners,” he added on X.
