It is the first public confirmation of direct Ukrainian involvement and comes in statements released to reporters from the AP and AFP, among others, on Friday.

Zelenskyy describes the actions as part of a broader effort to help partners combat the same weapons that Russia is using in Ukraine.

According to Zelenskyy, Ukrainian forces have taken part in operations abroad using domestically produced, combat-tested defense drones.
