Key statements by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Japan’s public broadcaster NHK:
▫️ Ukraine seeks to build mil-tech cooperation with Japan at both the government-to-government (G2G) and business-to-business (B2B) levels, expects to increase bilateral trade, and aims to conclude a Drone Deal with Japan.
▫️ When it comes to security, there are no neutral countries. Ukraine and Japan need strong defense sectors, including drones for monitoring, reconnaissance and demining, as well as air defense, cybersecurity and food security.
▫️ North Korea has sent between 30,000 and 50,000 troops to russia to gain real combat experience and receive field training.
▫️ North Korean troops are learning to operate drones and work with UAV operators, which is a cost-effective way to train personnel and poses a security threat in the Pacific region.
▫️ North Korean forces suffered losses during the kursk operation, after which they decided not to enter Ukrainian territory to avoid further casualties.
▫️ This war could be stopped immediately by strong leaders, including China.
