The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizes that the Russians still use components from companies from China, Europe, and the United States for missiles and rockets that are used for attacks on Ukraine. So, in October, Russia launched more than 2,000 Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles over our country.
Points of attention
- Russia launched over 2,000 Shahed drones in October to attack Ukraine, posing a severe threat to national security.
- The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, highlights the use of components from China, Europe, and the USA by Russia for these attacks.
- Stronger control over the export of special parts and resources is crucial to prevent Russia from bypassing sanctions and perpetuating terror.
- The international community needs to work together to combat Russia's use of components from other countries, which helps regimes like those in Iran and North Korea strengthen their military capabilities.
- Ukraine successfully repulsed an air attack by Russia on November 2, utilizing anti-aircraft missile troops, aviation, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups.
Russia is allegedly attacking Ukraine with shaheds — Zelensky
During the month of October, more than 2,000 "Shaheeds" were against Ukraine, against our people. Literally every day.
This number of Shaheds is more than 170,000 components that should have been blocked for delivery to Russia. Microcircuits, microcontrollers, processors, many different parts, without which this terror would simply be impossible.

President of Ukraine
All this is supplied to Russia from abroad. And this, unfortunately, from companies from China, Europe, and America — a lot of micro-contributions to constant Russian terror.
This brings the world back again and again to the need to work much harder to control the export of specialty parts and resources. In order not to give Russia the opportunity to circumvent the sanctions that had long been imposed against Russia for this war. Just like with "Shakhed" — with Russian missiles. They all contain components from other countries.
Every scheme to circumvent sanctions is a crime against people and the world. And it is precisely such schemes that allow Russia to also help the regimes in Iran and North Korea build up their muscles. This is a global threat. And only global, special pressure can overcome this, Zelensky emphasized.
