President Volodymyr Zelensky convened a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Staff to discuss a range of issues, including the domestic drone production.
The President said this in his evening video address, as reported by Ukrinform.
“I held a meeting of the Staff – specifically its technological division, the Technology Staff. There were detailed reports on drones, covering all aspects: financing, production, and the necessary regulatory streamlining. The key goal is to maximize production, particularly of the types of drones needed on the frontline and for defending our cities, also taking into account the development of enemy technologies,” he said.
The head of state also heard reports from the military command, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Strategic Industries. The Ukrainian intelligence presented a detailed report on Russia’s technological plans and intentions.
“We are scaling up Ukraine’s potential, particularly regarding interceptors. I gave several special instructions – I’m not disclosing the details yet, but the outcome must be clear: increased production in Ukraine and for Ukraine. All opportunities must be available – both for businesses and for state manufacturers,” Zelensky said.
He stressed that the main point is that the scale of Ukrainian production and the pace of drone development must be fully aligned with the conditions of the war.
As reported by Ukrinform, Volodymyr Zelensky said that hundreds of companies are currently involved in the production of weapons in Ukraine. Businesses, together with the state, manage to provide more than 40% of the weapons that Ukrainian defenders need.
