“There have been correlations between Chinese satellite imaging of Ukrainian territory and Russian strikes on the corresponding energy infrastructure facilities,” Zelenskiy said Wednesday in a post on social media after meeting with the head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service Oleh Ivashchenko. “We are recording increased ties between Russia and entities in China that may be providing space-based intelligence data.”
