I wish good health to all Ukrainian men and women!
I held a Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff meeting. Various issues and diverse defense aspects. It lasted almost three hours.
The topics ranged from military concerns, veteran issues, brigade matters, fortifications, to weapon production. We are working to implement all our arrangements with partners regarding new weapon production – joint production facilities and a shared repair base. The goal is to maximize Ukraine's strength, with each month adding power to our defense.
I want to commend our sky defenders: in just one night, they destroyed 30 Shahed drones. A potent result. Overall, 104 Shahed drones out of the 112 used by Russia have been destroyed this week – most of them. Each destroyed drone means saved lives and preserved infrastructure. I express gratitude to all the warriors in our mobile fire groups, pilots, engineers of the Air Force, and all our anti-aircraft gunners. Well done! This week also witnessed missile interceptions, including ballistic ones. Systems like Patriot, NASAMS, Gepard, and other provided by our partners are working excellently. I thank everyone worldwide who helps!
