Based on our information, it is possible that Russia has stolen these technologies in coordination with these citizens and without agreements with the Chinese leadership. The information also describes the relevant Chinese technologies for working on these drones. I think it will be important for Beijing to see how their partners are working with them."

Details: Meanwhile, Zelenskyy added that Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service will provide Beijing with brief information on Tuesday on China's potential supply of weapons to Russia. He stated that Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will use his channels to pass this information to the embassy in Beijing.
