Zelenskyy: Some components for Russian missiles and drones are still supplied from Europe

Some components for Russian missiles and drones are still supplied from European countries, and it is necessary not to ease sanctions against Russia that limit its military machine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

"We also need to put pressure on those in your countries who continue to supply critical components for Russian drones and missiles. No Russian missile or drone will fly without parts from other countries. It is not only China and Taiwan. Some components are still supplied from European countries and other countries of the world that continue to cooperate with Russian manufacturers of death," Zelenskyy said during his address to the 71st annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Monday.

He noted that the Ukrainian team can provide all the facts and is ready to share any necessary information. The president also called on the participants of the session to raise this issue with their governments.

"By stopping Russia now, you are not only helping us protect our lives, you are helping yourself. And you are saving your leaders from having to do what I am doing – turn to the world for help if Russian drones, missiles and soldiers become a threat to you. Russia must lose," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, on this basis it is necessary to build a real system of guaranteed security that does not depend on changing geopolitics or election sentiments. The President noted that the Coalition of the Willing includes 35 countries, and called for support for this at all levels: parliaments, the media and through "quiet" diplomacy.

"Security must be guaranteed. And when it works for us, it will work for every country that needs protection," he said.
