The drone that crashed in the capital of Croatia does not belong to Ukraine, adviser to the Minister of Defense Markiyan Lubkivsky said.

"This drone did not have Ukrainian markings, it had red stars on it. This is not a Ukrainian drone," Lubkivsky said on the air of the national telethon on Friday.

He said that an unmanned aerial vehicle crashed in the center of Zagreb at night and that the Croatian special services are currently studying this incident in cooperation with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"We turned to our Croatian partners with a request to quickly and effectively investigate this incident in order to understand what kind of drone it is, who its manufacturer is and why it appeared in Zagreb," Lubkivsky said.
