Crossed the mark of the first hundred hundred missile weapons this year - Presidential Appeal

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Today has held several meetings on defense topics. The first is our special production, our strategic industries, our weapons. There was a report by Alexander Kamyshin. This year we were able to reach significant results in several directions. This is our Ukrainian artillery - our shells, our guns.

These are drones - different types, for different tasks - which not only help the front to protect the position and destroy the occupier, but also strike in Russia at more and greater depth. We will build it up. We crossed the mark of the first hundred hundred missile weapons this year. Here without details, but I want to thank everyone and everyone who is involved in our production, who organizes the appropriate processes. And we will increase this direction.

There are now more than 800 companies are working on weapons for our defense and security forces of Ukraine. Now, for the first time in over 30 years of independence, we have not just a single investment steps of partners in Ukraine, but system models for investing. In particular, it is a Danish model, a Danish model that invests and attracts investments in production.

We also agreed with France about another model - with the involvement of technologies and the construction of appropriate industries. There are also preliminary agreements with our other partners to localize weapons in Ukraine. And this is what will constantly strengthen us. The second one is the report of the military and the Ministry of Defense. Syrsky head, Chief of General Staff Bargilevich, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Umerov. The most attention now is the Kurakhiv direction.   And the third.

This week, unfortunately, brought Ukraine brutal Russian blows to Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy and Odessa. Zaporozhye. In fact, daily blows of drones. Also rocket strokes. And every meeting, every negotiations with partners who have the appropriate air defense systems are always a conversation about additional protection of Ukraine from Russian terror. Here, in Europe, on the continent, there are also enough air defense systems that can provide Ukraine with truly reliable protection.

And this cannot be understood - when the air defense just stands. It is out of business when each system can save hundreds or even thousands of lives. We will continue to persuade our partners.   And now I want to celebrate Ukrainian rescuers. The whole staff of the SES of Ukraine, which works exactly where there is simply objectively lacking in increased opportunities for air defense.

Zaporizhzhia: Igor Karyagin, Yuri Sandor, Alexander Lyashenko, Andriy Pavlenko and Alexey Sukhorukov deserve special gratitude. Odesa: Ivan Gaytyan, Fedor Kaisin, Vitaliy Labutin, Alexander Mykytyuk, Sergey Rudy. Kyiv: Alexander Chuluk, Vladislav Zazimko, Alexander Volynets, Vasyl Chornenky, Vadim Kozhukhivsky and Vitaliy Minkov.
