Zelensky Suspects Hungary: Intelligence Drones May Have Been Monitoring Ukraine’s Defense Industry

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that reconnaissance drones recently detected in the country’s airspace may belong to Hungary. According to him, these unmanned vehicles were likely conducting surveillance of Ukrainian defense industry.

This statement came after a military meeting that the head of state held with key military and defense leadership, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov, Minister of Defense Denys Shmyhal, and Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Pavlo Palisa.

Oleksandr Syrskyi presented a report on “recent incidents” with drones near the Ukrainian-Hungarian border. “Ukrainian military have recorded reconnaissance drones entering our airspace, and these are likely Hungarian drones. Preliminarily, they could have been conducting reconnaissance of industrial potential in Ukrainian border regions,” the president quoted the commander-in-chief.

In response to the received information, Zelenskyy instructed to carefully verify all data and urgently report on each recorded case.
