DRONE DELIVERIES TO KYIV - TOKYO'S SUPPORT FOR HOSTILE BEHAVIOUR

MOSCOW, OCTOBER 21 /SRNA – RIA Novosti/ – Russia views the delivery of Japanese drones to Ukraine as Tokyo's support for hostile behaviour, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

She said at the briefing that Moscow considers the delivery an openly hostile act, despite Russia's warnings about the unacceptability of such actions.

"We must emphasize that official Tokyo is, in fact, encouraging local companies to sign contracts with the Kyiv regime in the defence sector," Zakharova stated.

She warned that such hostile acts would not go unanswered by Russia and Moscow would deliver a strong response to Tokyo, including in relevant sectors.

"Our country has the means to do so," Zakharova said.
