Ukrainians Must Not Depend Solely on Partners, Zelensky Says
Ukrainians must not depend solely on partners. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He noted that the focus of today's meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff has primarily been on air defense. “The financing of defensive equipment, production volumes, and agreements signed with our partners are regularly monitored by the Ministry of Defense and military command. We need to maximize production as much as possible. Short and medium-range air defense systems are a separate issue. This is important for protecting both the front line and energy facilities. We have updated our requirements and will increase production. Our domestic, Ukrainian production. Domestic systems are a guarantee of defense. Ukrainians should not depend on finding something in the global market or in our partners' stocks,” Zelensky stated.
