“This year raises several fundamental questions regarding Ukraine-NATO relations. In particular, this refers to the Washington summit and many other aspects of cooperation. Only with Ukraine as part of the Alliance can we count on real security in Europe”, Zelenski also says in the message.
“We had a rather long and thorough discussion with military and government officials about drones, all their necessary types – from FPV to our attack drones, which are showing remarkable results in destroying Russia’s military potential in the rear. Today we talked about the nuances related to production, support and financing, contracts and the necessary flexibility in setting priorities. Our defense industry must produce exactly what the war requires, in the necessary quantity and at the right time, depending on the needs”, says the Ukrainian leader.
Zelensky says that “obviously, drones will be one of the decisive factors for victory in this war.”
“It should be a Ukrainian factor, Ukrainian drones, Ukrainian victory, which means we need more and more effective Ukrainian drones. We can ensure this. Today’s meeting also focused on electronic warfare systems. We now have a significant number of Ukrainian products and we have a great determination of our manufacturers to strengthen our defense with the help of electronic warfare. We make state resources available to the maximum extent necessary and work on comprehensive solutions. Solutions that will ensure the necessary coverage for the entire front. Everyone in the government of Ukraine, everyone in the defense and security forces of Ukraine who are responsible for the drone program clearly know their tasks. Time and efficiency in completing tasks will be crucial. And I congratulate all those who work one hundred percent efficiently in this field”, says Zelenski.
