Ukraine has built new defense industry in four years – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine has built a new defense industry over the past four years.

According to Ukrinform, this was stated in the President’s greeting on the occasion of the Defense and Industrial Complex Employees Day, published on Facebook.

“Our missiles, unmanned systems, our interceptors, attack and naval drones, reconnaissance systems, artillery, ammunition, armored vehicles, robotic platforms, and much more. All that today is truly proudly called – the weapons of Ukraine. This is what strength looks like – forged in battle, in pain, in fire. This is what protection looks like, and the will for freedom and justice. This is what quality and precision look like, excellence and long-range capability – and this is what independence looks like. The tools to defend it. The arguments to win our peace,” the President emphasized.

According to him, today is a professional day for those who strengthen this power – Ukrainian arms manufacturers and all employees of the defense industrial complex.

“In four years, Ukraine has built a new defense industry. Large-scale, effective, and in every sense – impressive. For this, I thank everyone working in our defense sector, in our arms industry. Glory to our arms makers, glory to our defense industry! I thank everyone who is helping! Glory to Ukraine!” the President stressed.

As reported, on April 13, 2023, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree establishing this professional holiday for workers of Ukraine’s defense industrial complex.
