Details: Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine’s defence production capacity exceeds €35 billion and encompasses nearly 1,000 product types, ranging from artillery systems and armoured combat vehicles to drones and missiles. However, 40% of this potential is underfunded. For example, Ukraine could produce about eight million drones of various types annually, but funding falls short.

He also highlighted that Russia funds its military through oil revenues, support from regimes like Iran and North Korea, as well as corruption schemes in other countries.

Zelenskyy added that solidarity and unity are the best response to Russia’s military machine.
