Today, I have already held several meetings on defense issues.

The first one was about our specialized production, our strategic industries, our weaponry. There was a report by Oleksandr Kamyshin. This year, we managed to achieve significant results in several areas. This includes our Ukrainian artillery – our shells, our cannons. It also includes drones – of different types, for different tasks – types that not only help defend the frontline positions and destroy the occupier, but also strike deeper and deeper into Russia. We will scale this up. We surpassed the milestone of the first 100 units of missile armament this year.

The second for today is a report from the military and the Ministry of Defense. Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi, Chief of the General Staff Barhylevych, Minister of Defense Umerov. Most attention is now focused on the Kurakhove direction.

And third. Sadly, this week has brought Ukraine brutal Russian strikes on Kharkiv, the Donetsk region, the Sumy region, and Odesa. Zaporizhzhia. In fact, drone strikes occur on a daily basis. Missile strikes, too. And every meeting, every negotiation with partners who have appropriate air defense systems is always a conversation about additional protection of Ukraine from Russian terror.

I thank everyone who works for the benefit of Ukraine and everyone who fights for our state and for our people! Glory to Ukraine!
