He stated 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,’ Zelenskyy said.

The President added that he would share this information with world leaders at the UN General Assembly. According to the newspaper, he did not specify whether the satellites in question were commercial or those controlled by the Chinese government.

‘If confirmed, the use of Chinese satellites to photograph Ukrainian nuclear plants would be another example of Russia turning to China for assistance in the war,’ the article says.

The newspaper added that this would also call into question the power of Russian satellites.

  • During a meeting with his Brazilian counterpart Mauro Vieira, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on the country to help Ukraine avoid Russian strikes on nuclear power plants.
