The mathematics of war in action. In April, the Army of Drones system reached a new scale: 35k+ enemy losses, outstripping their mobilization for 5 months straight. Deep strikes (20-150km) quadrupled since Feb. From interceptors to UGVs, we’re scaling records in every domain.

March was a historic month for the Army of Drones. 35,300+ enemy casualties and 151,200+ targets hit — a record-breaking performance. For 4 months in a row, russian losses have exceeded their replenishment rates. We are on track to our strategic goal: 50,000+ per month.

The first Ukrainian glide bomb from BRAVE1 is ready for combat deployment. Development took 17 months. The warhead weighs 250 kg. The Ukrainian glide bomb features a unique design created specifically for the realities of modern warfare. Pilots are currently rehearsing combat scenarios and adapting the new weapon system for use in real wartime conditions. Soon, Ukrainian glide bombs will be striking enemy targets.

Together with Boris Pistorius visited the frontline regions. Boris is one of the few foreign defense ministers to personally visit our troops so close to the line of combat. This is a testament to true European leadership, and Ukraine deeply appreciates this unwavering support. We visited several military command centers at the front. Our defenders demonstrated the current operational situation, showcasing how they utilize the DELTA system, plan assault operations, neutralize enemy logistics, conduct reconnaissance, and coordinate various drone types within a unified battle management system. It is vital for us to show our partners the raw reality of this war. Our shared objective is to stop Russia in Ukraine. To achieve this, Ukraine and Europe must stand strong together.

Honored to welcome Boris Pistorius to Kyiv. Germany is now #1 globally in security aid to Ukraine, providing 1/3 of our total support. From Patriot missiles to $1B+ for Ukrainian drones, this aid is already delivering results: 90% drone interceptions & 5k mid-strikes per month. Excited to launch "Brave Germany" with BRAVE1 — a joint platform for grants & R&D in AI, UAVs, and missiles. We are building a new European security architecture rooted in Ukrainian tech & combat experience.

Working visit to Norway. The primary mission: scaling military aid and strategic alignment on key priorities—Air Defense, long-range ammunition, and Ukrainian drones. A productive day of high-level talks with Jonas Gahr Støre, Jens Stoltenberg, Tore O. Sandvik, Stortinget, and Norwegian defense industry leaders. Also joined the NORDEFCO session to deepen defense cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Norway has allocated $300M to the new PURL package, including vital Patriot missiles. Grateful to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський for his leadership and constant dialogue with partners to secure this protection for our skies, civilians, and infrastructure. Also we discussed joint defense projects, anti-Shahed solutions, training AI models on real combat data, and mechanisms for rapid tech scaling. Ukraine ensure every dollar of support delivers a concrete result: a reinforced front and the dismantling of the enemy’s potential.

Conducted a series of high-level meetings in Sweden today with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Defense Minister Pål Jonson, Speaker Sveriges riksdag, and members of Parliament, as well as defense industry leaders from Saab and Ovzon AB. Per Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський’s mandate, the visit’s primary focus was laying the groundwork for Gripen contracts. We also proposed launching BRAVE1 Sweden—a dedicated platform for joint defense tech startups and the exchange of real-time combat experience between Ukraine and Sweden. Sweden stands as a pivotal ally and a global leader in military support. I thanked the Swedish Government, Parliament and people for their continued assistance. Contributions to PURL, Giraffe radars, and RBS missiles are critical in shielding Ukraine’s skies from ballistic threats and drones. It is vital that our allies witness the tangible impact of their support and understand exactly how their decisions shape the dynamics on the battlefield.

Russia uses UAVs to terrorize civilian cars and critical logistics near the frontline areas. We are building anti-drone nets, forming a protective dome. The goal is to protect 4,000 kilometers of roads by the end of the year. Watch the video to see how it works.

Intercepting Shaheds from several thousand km away — a new 🇺🇦standard for air defense. Pilot in a secure office, drone in the sky. 10+ manufacturers have already integrated remote-control tech via BRAVE1. Moving toward the goal: 95% neutralization of enemy targets.

Private air defense just downed a jet-powered Shahed at 400+ km/h for the first time. 19 enterprises are now forming private air defense groups, fully integrated into the Air Force’s unified command system. Next step: scaling. More targets downed, faster response.

Met with a French MoD delegation led by Catherine Vautrin. Visited Ukrainian air-defense positions against the backdrop of the latest Russian missile and drone attacks. Demonstrated how Ukraine protects its skies every day. Grateful to France for the strong support that saves lives.

Our wartime plan: сlose the sky, stop the enemy on land, at sea, and in cyberspace, deprive Russia of the economic resources to wage war. We work toward this every day. Each day of the war must become a threat to Russia’s very existence. Glory to Ukraine’s heroes!

Private air defense working. First Shahed & Zala drones downed in Kharkiv by a private firm. 13 more companies joining. Integrated with Air Force command to scale protection without burdening the front. Opening the market to build a resilient, multi-layered sky.

Today I addressed the EU Council and thanked partners for approving €90B in support for Ukraine. Speed of disbursement and flexibility in using these funds are critical. Our priority is drones and air defense. Ukraine is shaping a new defense model — affordable tech, rapid innovation cycles, and data-driven warfare. We are ready to share battlefield analytics and proven solutions with partners. Ukraine fights for its independence — and for Europe’s security. We bring solutions, experience, data, and a clear plan. This is a joint effort to build a new defense doctrine and create next-generation armed forces.

400 km/h — that’s the speed reached by an interceptor drone powered by a motor from Motor-G, a member of BRAVE1. Today, more and more drones are flying on motors made in Ukraine. We are building the components market and strengthening Ukraine’s technological independence.
