Zelensky: Russian Drivers Unaware They Transported Drones in SSU Operation
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russian truck drivers were unaware they were transporting drones used in the Security Service of Ukraine's (SSU) operation Spiderweb.
He said this in an interview with the ABC, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.
"They (the drivers) didn’t know anything. They just did their job," Zelensky said.
He added that only Ukrainian-made weapons were used in the operation — not those supplied by allies.
"I wanted very much to use only what we produce and to have the separation very clear," the President emphasized.
As reported, on June 1 the SSU conducted a unique special operation Spiderweb, during which it struck Russian airfields Belaya, Dyagilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo.
As a result, 41 Russian strategic aircraft were hit, including A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22 M3, and Tu-160 bombers.
President Zelensky emphasized that the Spiderweb operation was carried out independently by Ukraine, without the assistance of international partners.
