President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, during which they discussed drone production as well as changes in state institutions, with decisions on these matters to be announced shortly.

As reported by Ukrinform, Zelensky wrote this on Telegram.

“First, the contracting and production of drones. I instructed to contract all available volumes of priority drone types. We are also working separately with European partners regarding funding. This year, we must reach significantly higher production and supply rates of drones to the military than previously planned,” Zelensky stated.

He added that unconventional steps are being prepared to support Ukraine’s defense, including an expansion of the geography of such support.

“Second, the changes in state institutions. Ukraine needs more positive dynamics in relations with the United States, and at the same time, new steps in managing our country’s defense sector are necessary,” Zelensky emphasized.
