Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday that his country is working to significantly increase the production of drones, which are in great demand by the Ukrainian military.
During his evening video address, he stressed the importance of Ukrainian production of drones in defending his country from Russian invasion.
The president said it is necessary to systematize what is already being supplied to the troops and used because “drones are the eyes and protection on the contact line.”
He added, “Drones are a guarantee that people will not have to pay with their lives when drones can be used.”
Zelensky also called on partners to supply the necessary drones and systems. “In each combat brigade, warriors first ask about drones, electronic warfare and military air defense,” he said.
“The answer to such questions is our work with partners to supply the necessary drones and systems, as well as our work here in Ukraine. We need production. We are increasing production significantly,” the Ukrainian President added.
Kiev has carried out several drone attacks as part of its counter-offensive to retake its territory.
