Last year, thanks to the joint efforts of Ukraine and its partners, more than 1.5 million drones of various types were produced, and Ukraine is now a world leader in drone warfare.
This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“We’re developing joint weapons production, especially drones. The Danish model, for example, of pooled investments for arms production in our country is already working well, very, very, very successful. Last year alone, thanks to Ukrainian and partner efforts, we produced over 1.5 million drones of various types. Ukraine is now the world leader in drone warfare. This is our success,” Zelensky stated.
In this context, Zelensky stressed that “everything we build for our own defense in Ukraine also strengthens your security. And the same should apply to artillery, air defense, technologies, and armored vehicles”.
“Everything needed to protect lives in modern war should be produced in Europe – fully. Europe has everything it takes. Europe just needs to come together and start acting in a way that no one can say ‘No’ to Europe, boss it around, or treat it like a pushover. This isn’t just about stockpiling weapons. It’s about jobs, technological leadership, and economic strength for Europe,” the President stressed.
As Ukrinform reported, the Munich Security Conference is taking place on February 14-16.
