Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of seeking to destabilize Europe by using drones in acts of sabotage and disruption.

In a recorded speech on Tuesday evening, Zelensky said Moscow uses the so-called “shadow fleet” not only to finance the war by transporting oil via tankers but also “for sabotage and multiple attempts to destabilize the European continent.”

He added, “The recent drone launches from oil tankers are one such example,” referring to intelligence information obtained by Ukrainian agencies.

Official information about the source of the drones recently spotted in countries including Denmark and Germany has not yet been confirmed, while Russia denied any involvement.

Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, hinted that Ukrainian forces themselves might use such drones provocatively to drag Europe into a war against Russia. Ukraine also produces long-range drones.

Zelensky said, “We share the information we have with our partners, and it is necessary for them to take concrete steps in response to Russia’s actions,” adding that more meetings and negotiations are scheduled, some public and others secret, without providing further details.

He concluded by saying, “The Russians must understand that none of their sabotage acts, all their vile deeds, will go unanswered by the world.”
