For the first time, our new economic policy program "Made in Ukraine" was discussed at a regional meeting in Sumy. This year, there are significant financial resources available for all regions of our state, including the Sumy region, which is guaranteed. As a result of today's meetings, government officials,... the State Property Fund, the President's Office, and regional authorities now have very specific tasks. Contracts for our defense industrial complex have been signed. I am proud that every month, more and more companies and developers offer specific samples of weapons, shells, equipment, demining vehicles, and many other things—everything that is required at the front and that, thanks to the power of technology, will save the lives of our people. Today, there are new contracts for automated fire driving systems, new FPV drones with appropriate dropping capabilities, and mobile fire group training—all of which will help to effectively shoot down the "Shaheds." All that is required.show more

I met with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. I am grateful to Spain for its support and for this visit – a visit that will also, in many ways, support Ukraine and, importantly, allow us to expand our cooperation: the defense industries of our countries, our defensive capabilities, and our political cooperation. We value all of this very highly. Today, there are new defense agreements between Ukraine and Spain, as well as between our companies. We are working together with the Government of Spain and Spanish companies to ensure the tangible further technological development of our Defense Forces and our countries. Ukraine is ready to help with the necessary drones, experience, and capabilities. Spain’s defense industry, in turn, can supply Ukraine with the ammunition, radars, equipment, and other resources we need. Our teams are already working through the details, and today, new agreements have been signed that expand this cooperation. Thank you, Pedro Sánchez! Thank you, Spain!

In total, the terrorists have already launched at least 1961 "Shaheds" against Ukraine, and a significant number of them have been shot down. Unfortunately, not all of them. We are working to shoot down more – to shoot down as many as possible. We are working to have more air defense systems. In particular, this is a task for each of our ambassadors, all representatives of Ukraine. Everyone must work for the victory, for the protection of life. The lives of people and the protection of our beautiful Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I held a Staff meeting today. Many reports on supplies for our troops—weapons, all procurements. Contracts and supplies are in place. But we need to accelerate deliveries and increase the supply of systems and weapons that help save more of our soldiers’ lives. More orders for drones. More investment in the development of robotic systems. And more deliveries of essential weaponry. All necessary directives have been issued. Our industry has the potential. Countries, particularly in Europe, are ready to work with Ukraine and invest in our arms production. Our diplomats have clear tasks. We need to increase our partners' funding for Ukraine's defense. This must also be a key performance indicator for Ukrainian diplomacy.

Today, during our meeting with Dutch Prime Minister, we focused our discussion on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense, including new air defense systems and the missiles for them. We also talked about F-16s for Ukraine and all the necessary weapons for our defense against the Russian occupiers, including shells for our soldiers, essential equipment, and the protection of our energy infrastructure. I am grateful to the Netherlands for announcing a new assistance package for Ukraine. We also discussed the possibility of the Netherlands taking on a patronage role over Zaporizhzhia, which would involve supporting infrastructure, protecting normal life, and addressing humanitarian issues. This is something that will definitely help Ukraine, and we deeply appreciate all the support from the people of the Netherlands, from Prime Minister Schoof personally, and from all the political and public figures in the Netherlands. And of course, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all our people, to everyone who is protecting Ukraine, our Zaporizhzhia, and all our cities and communities — to everyone fighting for Ukraine, working here in our country, and helping us. I am proud of our people and proud of Ukraine.

President Zelenskyy: The future is already on the front line - and Ukraine is building it. "In four years, Ukraine has built a new defense industry. One that is large-scale, effective, and impressive in every sense. Our missiles, our unmanned systems, our interceptors, attack and naval drones, reconnaissance systems, artillery, our ammunition, armored vehicles, robotic systems, and much more. Everything that today can truly be proudly called Ukrainian weapons. They protect our skies, our cities and villages, save lives, and prove that 'Made in Ukraine' is synonymous with effectiveness and strength. For this, I thank everyone working in our defense sector, in our arms industry. The capabilities of Ukraine's defense industry mean millions of FPV drones per year, our deep strikes, interceptors, and millions of shells. Ukraine has its own long-range missile weapons. Not just in development, but a real force already at work. Flamingo and Ruta, Peklo and Neptune, Palianytsia and Vilkha - we can already be proud of all of this, but we will not stop here for sure. These are only our first steps. The industry will grow, and the enemy will feel it. Everyone sees the historic long-range reach of our drones - striking 1,750 kilometers from our border. There will be more. And this is not about records – it is about justice that will find evil anywhere in the world."

Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain... We are returning home with new defense packages. More new and powerful weapons for the frontline, more protection for our people from 🇷🇺 terror, more political support. At all the meetings we discussed our Peace Formula, and now there is more willingness of our partners to follow the 🇺🇦 formula. There is more support for our accession to the EU, more understanding that Ukraine's accession to NATO is inevitable. So, the main results of these days are: new weapons for 🇺🇦, respect for Ukrainians, and our victory has been brought closer. Kudos to everyone who helps!

I thank Sweden for all its support for Ukraine – for our people and for our defense. Sweden is absolutely committed to protecting life, and we value this immensely. Today, we have a new support package for Ukraine, and the most important element of it is the Swedish Gripen fighter jets, which will strengthen our air force. Overall, this year, next year, and our future cooperation are all about building Ukraine’s fleet of Swedish Gripens. This will help us guarantee the security of Ukraine and Ukrainians. Today, the Ulf Kristersson and I also discussed the details of our cooperation across all other areas. I briefed him on the situation in Ukraine – on the battlefield and in our defense against Russian strikes. We need our own European antiballistic capabilities in sufficient quantity and with sufficient strength. We will work on this, including within the NB8 format – one of our most effective formats, bringing together Ukraine, the Nordic countries, and the Baltic states. I am also grateful to Sweden for all the sanctions steps – everything that limits Russia’s capacity for aggression.

Today I was in Dnipro and held a meeting with entrepreneurs of the Dnipro region — currently the number one region in terms of contribution to Ukraine’s GDP and in many other key economic areas. I thank everyone who is preserving and creating jobs in the region, everyone who is working for Ukraine and for the benefit of Ukraine. We will continue all government programs that have proven effective and that support our production and our economy. There is still more we can do to support our industry — I’ve instructed government officials to fulfill what the entrepreneurs have asked for today. Ukraine’s results are shared results — the achievements of all those who have chosen Ukraine, who are actively working for Ukraine, and who are ready to do whatever is necessary for our country to endure and achieve its goals. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.

We continue to work actively to put all of our agreements with partners on new arms production into action, including co-production and joint maintenance capabilities. The goal is to strengthen Ukraine to the maximum and add to our defense every month. This week has proved the effectiveness of the air defense systems provided by partners. We are working to bolster our air defense and have already made agreements. This topic is being discussed at every meeting with partners. There will be more systems and more protection. We are also planning more important foreign contacts until the end of the year. Despite the fact that the holiday season reduces political activity in many countries, our whole foreign policy team is working around the clock. I thank everyone in our state who keeps up with such a fast pace and who never tires of protecting, working, and helping.

I thank each of our combat brigades, all soldiers, and commanders who are using all their strength to destroy the enemy, especially by effectively deploying our drone capabilities. Our Ukrainian Defense and Security Forces are already gaining an advantage in this area – in July, our soldiers deployed more drones than the occupiers. This needs to be a steady trend on the front – across all types of drones available to our units: from FPV to all others, including our long-range drones – which are already having a strategic impact on the war. Impacting – in the interests of Ukraine. And our Ukrainian leadership in drones can not only be a factor that brings a just end to the war closer but also makes Ukraine a supplier of security for other states. Today, Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister for Innovations, Development of Education, Science and Technologies, and Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, also reported at the Staff meeting on drone production and financing. For this year, a million drones have already been contracted with our manufacturers, and by the end of the year, there will be more. Our drone production capabilities are consistently expanding. We're working not only with state funding but also with partners who are investing in our drone manufacturing. These drones are crucial for our defense now and will later enhance security for everyone who values life and stands with us in solidarity.

Today, on the eve of Pokrova – the Day of Defenders of Ukraine – it is an honor for me to be here, to present you with state awards and, of course, to thank all of you for defending our country and protecting it, for holding the front firmly, and for carrying out our active operations. In the fifth year of the full-scale war, Russia looks very different on the front from what it wanted to look – and this is solely thanks to you, thanks to the determination of our troops, the training of our warriors, and the well-planned operations of our army – of Ukraine’s Defense and Security Forces. We are doing everything to defend our state. We strike back at the aggressor. We are developing new weapons and fighting for new support from our partners. But all of this holds because the front is strong, because it has not been broken, because our corps and brigades are active and strong, and because our people are fighting for Ukraine. I want to thank you for your courage, for your skill. Thank you for Ukraine. And, of course, we always honor the fallen heroes of our state, whose courage and bravery gave us the chance to live and preserved our state.

Today, I had a discussion with the Minister of Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, to analyze the performance of the ministry and our defense sector enterprises. We have achieved significant results in various areas, including armored vehicles, drones, and artillery. I am grateful to everyone working in our defense industry. It's evident that this sector is becoming much stronger and more efficient. Importantly, we are now seeing substantial foreign investment in our defense production, alongside state budget funds. This is a major accomplishment for us. Today, we also set new tasks for Ukroboronprom and our missile industry. In many areas, we have moved beyond just potential or specific results to actual deliveries for our Defense and Security Forces—deliveries that are continuously increasing. Additionally, we are preparing to enhance the quantity and quality of our long-range drones. Ukraine will always be capable of defending its interests.

These days, a Ukrainian delegation, including the First Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, representatives of the General Staff, and the Head of the Office of the President, is working in Washington. There have been meetings at various levels, and one of our top priorities is securing long-range capabilities for our Defense Forces. This is crucial to preventing the terror that our Kharkiv and other cities across Ukraine are forced to endure. Clearing Ukrainian skies of Russian guided bombs is a powerful step toward forcing Russia to seek an end to the war and a just peace. Our representatives have provided all the necessary information and details to our partners. I am calling on the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany – we need the means to fully and effectively protect Ukraine and its people. We need permissions for long-range capabilities, as well as your long-range shells and missiles. Making these vital decisions cannot be delayed – these are the actions that can have the most significant impact on the course of events. We are also discussing air defense with our partners – systems that are especially needed now, before the start of the school year, to provide more safety for Ukrainian children in schools, for our cities, and our energy infrastructure. We have agreements with partners on air defense systems and missiles for these systems. It's crucial to implement everything as quickly as possible. We are working even more actively these days to secure such news – additional air defense systems. I thank everyone around the world who is helping. I thank to all of Ukraine’s friends who do not stay silent about Russian terror, who respond to the attacks, spread the truth about this war, and urge the world to be more decisive and therefore more effective in defending against Russia.

We are now in a new phase of development for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have done a lot to transition the Ukrainian Air Force to a new aviation standard – Western combat aviation. From the beginning of this war, we have been talking with our partners about the need to close the Ukrainian sky from Russian missiles and aircraft. We have held hundreds of meetings and negotiations to strengthen the capabilities of our aviation, air defense, and Defense Forces. We often heard the word "impossible" in response, but we made possible what was our ambition, our defense need, and now – it is a reality in our sky. F-16s in Ukraine. We ensured this. I am proud of all our guys who are skillfully mastering these aircraft and have already started using them for our country. I thank our team for this result. I thank all the partners who are truly helping with the F-16s, and the first countries that accepted our request for aircraft – Denmark, the Netherlands, the United States, – and all our partners, – we value your support. I wish our Air Force and all our warriors to feel the pride of Ukrainians in our combat aviation and to bring Ukraine the combat results that will bring our victory closer – our just peace for Ukraine.

ZELENSKYY: Today, Ukraine shot down 388 out of 400 Russian drones. A higher percentage of Russian drones is being intercepted, but Ukrainians are working to further increase that number. Specific solutions for the protection of Odesa and Dnipro have already been developed and will be implemented, as these cities have been especially heavily targeted lately. “This afternoon there was another massive attack by Russian drones. A significant number of more than 400 drones since the morning alone, including more than 200 Shaheds. The density of the attack is high, which is why - despite a high interception rate (388 drones shot down) - there were still strikes in Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Rivne region, Trostyanets, Vinnytsia region, and other regions and our communities. We are strengthening all areas of protection. There is already a decision regarding the protection of the city of Dnipro. The military command and the Ministry of Defense analyze each attack and offer solutions. For Dnipro, we will deploy additional radars, electronic warfare systems, and crews. There is also a solution for Odesa. We are also registering a higher percentage of shootdowns. But we still need to increase it. We are aware that the Russians are trying to bypass our air defense with the density of the attack and the intensity of strikes. We will counteract, but we are aware that we cannot stop there. This is not the result that is needed. Still not enough. We need to further strengthen our cities and villages. And it is important that every day we work with partners to have air defense components against missiles” - Ukrainian president on Friday, May 1st.

Today, I held a Staff meeting. The key issue was the development of our drones and all forms of their usage. There were reports on production and contracts—from FPV drones to long-range ones—as well as on solutions aimed at more effectively destroying the occupiers and protecting the lives of our soldiers. We have technological proposals that need to be implemented, and I am grateful to all our military personnel, every company, every official, and every volunteer involved in this effort to continuously modernize the Ukrainian army. There was also a report on robotic systems, as well as on artillery—both our domestic production and global procurement, with a focus on ammunition. It is important that Ukraine has good dynamics in artillery production, and our own capabilities to supply the army will only increase.

In Kyiv and the region, as well as in many other regions, efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strike have been underway since last night. It was a complex attack that the Russians tried to plan to cause as much harm to life as possible – ballistic missiles, cruise and anti-ship missiles, and jet-powered “shaheds.” There is significant damage to residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure in the capital. As of now, ten people are known to have been injured. Everyone who needs medical assistance is receiving it. State Emergency Service personnel managed to rescue thirteen people. Tragically, two people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. In the Kyiv region, critical infrastructure was struck. In the Odesa region – an ordinary market. Two people were injured in Kharkiv. An apartment building was damaged. In the morning, the locomotive of the Kyiv–Sumy train was attacked at a railway station in the Sumy region. Fortunately, no one was injured. Evacuation is underway. Zaporizhzhia and the Dnipro region were also targeted. Overall, our warriors downed 175 aerial targets overnight, but unfortunately, not all of them. Despite very good results against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles remain particularly difficult to intercept, and every day we make the case to our partners for our need for interceptors. We have already discussed this with the Americans and Europeans, and there will be more meetings, including today, with representatives of countries and companies that can help with supplies and with our anti-ballistic system – FREYJA. I thank all our partners who make support for Ukraine’s air defense a priority. This directly means saving lives.

Recovery efforts following the Russian strike across our regions are ongoing. Once again, there was a targeted attack specifically on energy facilities – the Russians used a significant number of ballistic missiles in combination with other missiles, more than 70 missiles in total, as well as 450 attack drones. The strikes hit Sumy and Kharkiv regions, Kyiv region and the capital, as well as Dnipro, Odesa, and Vinnytsia regions. As of now, nine people have been reported injured as a result of the attack. There is damage to ordinary residential buildings and energy infrastructure. In Kyiv, drone strikes caused fires in high-rises and damaged a kindergarten. All necessary services have been deployed wherever possible. Taking advantage of the coldest days of winter to terrorize people is more important to Russia than turning to diplomacy. And this very clearly shows what is needed from our partners and what can help. Timely delivery of missiles for air defense systems and the protection of normal life are our priority. Without pressure on Russia, there will be no end to this war. Right now, Moscow is choosing terror and escalation, and that is why maximum pressure is required. I thank all our partners who understand this and are helping us.

Today in Odesa, on the day of our Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we express our gratitude to all our naval warriors and engage in negotiations to ensure that Ukraine’s Defense Forces, including our Navy, receive even greater capabilities. We also welcomed the new Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, as well as the new British Secretary of State for Defence. I informed them about the situation on the battlefield, and there was a briefing from Vice Admiral Neizhpapa, the Ukrainian Navy Commander. We will continue to strengthen the Ukrainian fleet together with the UK and the Netherlands. There are promising new developments in our cooperation. We also discussed strengthening our air defense systems, which remains an absolute priority, and I am grateful for the willingness to take the next steps, particularly regarding the F-16s.
