Today, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer and I met with drone manufacturers and examined the developments that help our defenders defend themselves against the Russians," Zelenskyy said.
According to him, Ukraine, in partnership with the UK, is seeking to increase production in some military sectors.
I think we will achieve significant results this year. We will increase production together with our partners from the United Kingdom, first of all with our partners from the United Kingdom. We want to increase production in some areas, to double it. Our goal is to produce a record number of drones. I think this will be very useful and will help us a lot," Zelenskyy said.
