President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held an important meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, where critical issues regarding the situation at the front, the production of weapons and the provision of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were discussed. He reported this in Telegram.
At the meeting, Zelensky listened to the report of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, who presented detailed information about the frontline situation, in particular in the Pokrovsky, Toretsk and Kharkiv directions. The head of the Armed Forces is currently on the front line and keeps the situation under personal control.
In addition, intelligence reported on forecasts of the development of the situation at the front and the nearest goals of the Russian troops. This allows the Ukrainian command to better plan its actions and respond to possible threats.
One of the key decisions of the meeting was the allocation of additional funding to Ukraine's missile program. Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation Mykhailo Fedorov and Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin reported on the needs of the Defense Forces in drones and missiles by the end of the year, as well as on the dynamics of their production.
"The decision of Stavka directs additional funding to our missile program. We plan to increase the production of missiles of our own production. They also discussed the issue of saturating additional brigades with weapons and equipment. We are actively working with partners," said Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
In Ukraine, they are also actively working on expanding the production of drones. Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries and Industry Anna Gvozdyar said that the country has the potential to produce more than three million drones per year. This will be possible thanks to sufficient production capacities and cooperation with international partners.
