DJI Tells Ukraine It Can’t Disable Drones Used by Russian Military

A big-name Chinese drone-maker has found itself in an awkward position in war-torn Ukraine, where its consumer-facing products are said to be used by the Russian military.

In a tweet last week, Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov called on SZ DJI Technology Co. Ltd. to lend a hand in grounding its drones that “are helping Russia to kill the Ukrainians.”
