Ukraine’s army has the necessary support, but increased investment from international partners in the defense sector is essential.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his nightly video address, according to Ukrinform.
“Our industry has the potential. Countries, particularly in Europe, are ready to collaborate with Ukraine and invest in our arms production. And our diplomats have clear tasks. We need to increase our partners’ funding for Ukraine’s defense. And in particular, these should become the KPIs – key performance indicators – of Ukrainian diplomacy,” Zelensky said.
During a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Zelensky received multiple reports on troop supplies, weapon deliveries, procurement, and defense contracts.
“All these are in place. Supplies are in place. We need faster delivery speeds, and we need much more such systems, such weapons that will help us save more lives of our warriors, our people. More orders for drones. More investment in the development of robotic systems. And more basic weapons supplies. All the necessary orders are in place,” he added.
