[Russian Foreign Ministry: Japan-Ukraine Drone Military Cooperation Harms Russian Security Interests] The Russian Foreign Ministry website published a statement on the 6th, stating that Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that Japan-Ukraine cooperation in the field of military drone technology is a blatant act of hostility and damage to Russia's security interests. Zakharova said that Ukraine's systematic use of drones to attack civilians within Russia means that such cooperation between Japan and Ukraine does not contribute to a swift resolution of the situation. Japan's increasing involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict through its aid to Ukraine further damages Russia-Japan relations. Zakharova stated that drones posing a threat to Russia and its citizens, as well as the production facilities manufacturing these weapons in Ukraine, are legitimate targets for the Russian military.
