"Drones are needed to contain Russia so that it think twice before planning any escalation or large-scale attack on Ukraine ..." Kuleba said.

He also claims that if Russia "gets involved in a large-scale military conflict with Ukraine," then Kiev will use drones in any part of the territory of Ukraine "to protect itself."

In April, UAV manufacturing company Baykar announced that Ukraine had purchased the Bayraktar Turkish drone drone.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stated that the sale of Turkish drones to Ukraine is not directed against Russia.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that the Ukrainian side is trying with enviable persistence to present Russia as a party to the conflict, but Moscow is not.
