Zelenskyy Claims Russia Used North Korean Missiles to Target Kiev
- On Saturday, Nov. 7, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russian forces used North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles in an overnight strike on a key Ukrainian energy facility.
- By intensifying strikes against infrastructure, Russia is attempting to pressure the Ukrainian position, Zelensky said, noting that Moscow approaches diplomacy "as a sub-species of aggression."
- With 36 missiles approaching targets on a ballistic trajectory, Zelensky reported that air defenses intercepted only four, demonstrating an acute deficit of surface-to-air interceptors for US-made Patriot systems.
- Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi, in coordination with the Kyiv City State Administration, must now formulate backup transport routes for Kyiv, Zelensky instructed.
- Ahead of planned trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11, Zelensky emphasized that overcoming the severe interceptor deficit depends primarily on American support for Ukraine.
