Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski demonstrated a Shahed drone, which Russians attempted to use against Ukraine, in the UK Parliament building, according to Sikorski's post on X.
"Today in the British Parliament, I demonstrated the Iranian Shahed 136 drone, which Russia has used against Ukraine. The Kremlin uses such drones to terrorize Ukrainians, and with decoys, it even entered Polish airspace," Sikorski wrote.

He noted that an entire fleet of such scrap metal could destroy critical infrastructure.
Sikorski also emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin will only lose the war against Ukraine when he admits that starting it was a mistake.
"He must understand that he cannot win this war. Yes, Russia can lose this war, just as it has lost many others - to Great Britain, Japan, Poland, or the Mujahideen in Afghanistan," the minister added.
Earlier, Sikorski had brought a Russian Shahed drone, downed by Ukrainian defenders, to Washington.
