President Volodymyr Zelensky has held a Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Staff meeting to discuss various issues, including UAV production and a missile program.
Zelensky said this in his video address, Ukrinform reports.
“The topics were varied, but overall focused on achieving independence in armaments. We discussed drone production, missile program, technological components for our army, including robotic systems. We are working on expanding procurements and ramping up production within Ukraine. I am grateful to all the partners who are helping us,” the President said.
He also noted that Russian missile attacks on civilians, such as the one launched by the Russian army on Friday against Kryvyi Rih, would not have happened if Ukraine had received all the necessary air defense systems.
“Rescue efforts continued all day today in Kryvyi Rih – following a strike by Russian ballistic missile. Four people were killed by this strike. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Fourteen people were wounded, they received the necessary assistance. And such strikes, such losses, simply would not have happened if we had received all the necessary air defense systems that we have been talking about with our partners for such a long time and that are available in the world,” he said.
As reported, the number of injured in Russia’s missile strike on Kryvyi Rih has risen to 14, including four children. Four people were killed.
Emergency and rescue operations have been completed in the city.
