**Drone Pact with Taiwan! Ukraine Ditches China Supplier After Killer Robot Attack Kills 6** Ukraine is cutting China out of its drone supply chain and turning to Taiwan as a new, reliable supplier, as Russia kills at least six people in a massive overnight drone attack that struck regions bordering NATO members [148392][148265]. The deadly assault, one of the largest barrages in recent weeks, saw hundreds of Russian drones hit multiple cities, including targets near the Polish border [148265]. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted many of the drones, but several breached the lines, killing six people and intensifying pressure on energy and civilian infrastructure [148265]. For the first time, Russian drones also struck Ukraine’s Zakarpattia Oblast, which borders Hungary, raising new concerns about the conflict’s spread near NATO territory [148253]. In response, Kyiv is moving to remove China from its drone supply chain, fearing Beijing is helping Moscow with military goods [148392]. Ukraine, along with Europe and the United States, is now turning to Taiwan as a key and reliable supplier of drone technology and components [148392]. The shift comes as Ukraine and the United States are preparing a landmark agreement to manufacture and export drones, creating a new framework for producing unmanned aircraft in Ukraine and selling them to other countries [147574]. Under the proposed deal, Ukrainian firms would produce drones in partnership with U.S. manufacturers, while also sending their own military tech to the United States [147412]. The arrangement marks one of the deepest military-industrial partnerships the U.S. has formed with a foreign country in recent years [147412]. On the battlefield, Ukrainian drone operators destroyed two long-range Russian radar systems in Donetsk Oblast, including one that could detect targets up to 250 kilometers away [147574]. In a separate strike, a Ukrainian drone hit a residential building in Orenburg, a Russian city 1,500 kilometers from the border, targeting an area near a major plant that produces missile and aircraft components [147577]. Ukraine’s foreign minister has also proposed a mutual halt to attacks on airports, hoping to give Russia a reason to negotiate, noting that Moscow’s two main airports are now within Ukrainian striking range [147312]. --- Russia hits Ukraine’s Hungary border region with drones in massive attack Taiwan becomes key drone supplier as Ukraine cuts China ties Russia kills six in massive drone attack on western Ukraine Ukraine, US Plan 'Drone Deal' to Build and Sell Drones Worldwide Ukraine proposes ‘airport ceasefire’ to Russia Drones Stop Russia.
