Indian-made components have been discovered in Russian drones used for deadly attacks on Ukraine, one of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s top officials has claimed.

The Iranian-made Shahed drones containing Indian parts have been involved in attacks along the frontlines and against civilians, Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak wrote on Telegram.

He called on the world to “deprive Russians of the ability to receive components from other countries and stop the killing of Ukrainians,” according to Kyiv-based Ukrainian news agency UNN.

“Also, buying Russian energy resources is financing the war, which does not contribute to peace,” Yermak added.

The White House and National Security Council didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

The drone development comes as President Trump has threatened to slap new tariffs on India if it does not stop purchasing Russian oil.

Not fair! Only Ukraine should be allowed to use drones.

Yes. The “feather” Indian components are in our Tomahawk missiles.

Yes, America is supporting the victim of the invasion in their fight against Russian and North Korean troops.

Exactly, Ukraine sounds like a bunch of crybabies. They should have negotiated instead of trusting the Neocons.

Russia is doing fine battling the 40 some western nations allied to war with Russia. Russia is teaching the war mongers a lesson or two, I hope that sinks into the NeoCons thick skull’s.

I suspect if they looked hard enough they would probably find U.S. origin chips in there somewhere.

Whatever the narrative of the day coming out of DC or London, Ukraine’s propaganda will find a way to latch on to it.

In a way, it’s quite a compliment to ordinary Americans.

The fact they must bullshit and gaslight us constantly indicates they feel we have some power over their and our future.
