Zelensky: Ukraine ready to increase drone production by 40%
Kyiv, June 12 (Hibya) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready to increase drone production by 40% this year and that their factories have the capacity.
Zelensky noted that in the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale war, the Ukrainian army has recorded more than one million Russian casualties: “This is the price Putin is willing to pay for his sick geopolitical fantasies. And yet he refuses to end this war.”
He said that 12 days ago, the Security Service of Ukraine completed “Spider Web,” a low-cost drone operation targeting an aircraft used by Russia to terrorize Ukraine and send threatening messages to NATO:
“These were not just similar strategic bombers – they were the exact aircraft Russia uses to simulate missile attacks on NATO territory. Ukraine is ready to increase drone production by 40% this year. Our factories have the capacity. What’s missing is funding. We must all outpace the enemy when it comes to drones.”
