«We managed to establish the production of our domestic artillery in record time, quickly and efficiently. We are already producing 40 SPAas Bohdana per month. This is a serious result. We are grateful to the manufacturers,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

He also noted that last year, Ukraine supplied 2.4 million mortar and artillery rounds of various calibres to the frontline.

The President stressed that Ukraine is now a leader in Europe in the development and use of drones.

«Ukrainian naval drones have become a global defence sensation. They have allowed us to regain control of a part of the Black Sea necessary for the stability of the state and the protection of our cities. For the first time in history, the Russian fleet in the Black Sea was forced to retreat to the Romanian coast,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine is a world leader in the production of drones.

It should also be recalled that the European Union will allocate €2 billion for the production of Ukrainian drones.
