The head of state noted that “at Stavka they reported on contracts – those that are already being executed and those that are planned.”
“This is a joint task of weapons manufacturers, our government officials and everyone involved – to make this year a record year for drones of all types, as well as significantly increase the production of Ukrainian missiles, artillery, and all necessary equipment,” the president emphasized.
Zelensky instructed to increase the number of orders for drones. According to him, “this task is already being carried out.” At the same time, the president emphasized “that Ukrainian arsenals are one of the guarantees of independence, as is the accuracy of soldiers.”
“I thank all the units that carry out strikes on the territory of Russia: on military facilities, on military logistics of the occupier. There should be more and more such important results,” the head of state added.
Previously, the government regulated the procedure for the procurement of domestically produced unmanned systems and EW, operating during martial law.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, Ukraine has been trying to increase its own production of weapons, partly producing them together with partners.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Ukraine already produces 155-caliber ammunition, long-range and maritime drones. Also, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine is embarking on “significant” volumes of production of artillery systems and armored vehicles.
