Zelenskyy accuses Russia of using Chinese satellites to photograph Ukraine's NPPs, perhaps for possible strikes on them
Russia is using Chinese satellites to photograph Ukraine's nuclear power plants, perhaps in preparation for possible strikes on them, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with ABC News.
"The recent information is that, Russia has been using Chinese satellites and taking photos of the details of the objects on nuclear facilities. And in our experience, if Russia takes photos of certain objects, then there is a threat of strikes against the nuclear objects," he said.
At the same time, the head of state did not say whether the Chinese satellites Russia has used were commercial satellites or controlled by the Chinese government. He said he would share information Ukraine had with leaders at the General Assembly this week.
Asked to comment on Monday, China's embassy in Washington did not respond, ABC News said.
