“It is a joint task for arms manufacturers, our Government officials, and all those involved – to make this year a record one in terms of all types of drones, as well as to significantly increase the production of Ukrainian missiles, artillery, and all the necessary equipment,” Zelensky emphasized.

The President instructed that the number of orders for drones be increased.

“This is already being implemented. Our arsenals are one of the guarantees of our independence, just as the precision of our warriors is,” Zelensky said.

He expressed gratitude to all the units that carry out strikes on Russian territory: on military facilities, on the military logistics of the invaders.

“More and more such important results should be achieved,” Zelensky emphasized.
