Sikorski emphasized during a short press briefing in Washington that the matter of cooperation between Russia and Iran in the production and launching of hundreds of similar drones is “a matter for Europe and the whole world” – he reminded that the same type of machine last week hit the Chernobyl power plant.
As he said, some members of the American administration have already watched the drone. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed the hope that the president would watch him Donald Trumpwhich is to speak at the CPAC conference on Saturday.
– We would be pleased if he saw not only the drone, but also a description of the drone and the operation of downloading it here, in which description the organizers (exhibition-ed.) Thank the Polish government and the Prime Minister Donald Tusk (for bringing a machine -ed.), Because of course it could not happen without the consent of the prime minister – he said.
– The drone had to be checked. Of course, the head is removed, the explosive. Our services stood up to the challenge – he added.
Sikorski called the drone to the United States “the fruit of cooperation between Ukraine, Poland and the USA”.
Shahed, called by the Russians Geran-2, raises the fears of security specialists in the US because it is very cheap in production, and can sow great havoc. In January 2024, Shaad fired by the Iranian Shiite militia killed four American soldiers when he hit their post at Jordan.
Question about conversations with Rubio
Sikorski was asked what he would want to tell the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “I will say Marco Rubio first, and then I will share with the media, right after the conversation today,” he said.
He later asked by the correspondent of “Facts” by TVN24 Marcin Wrona, he said that “he would talk to him both on behalf of our country and as the Presidency of the European Union for the next possible cooperation, to defend Europe's defense and preservation, hardening of Ukraine's independence.”
