In his evening address on 9 November, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that this year Ukraine had crossed the mark of producing the first hundred missile weapons.
"This year, we were able to achieve significant results in several areas. This includes our Ukrainian artillery - our shells, our guns. This includes drones of various types for different tasks, which not only help the frontline defend its positions and destroy the occupier, but also strike at Russia at greater and greater depths. We are going to increase this. We have crossed the mark of the first hundred missile weapons this year," Zelenskyy said.
He noted that more than 800 companies are currently working on the production of weapons for the Defence Forces. According to the President, for the first time in more than 30 years of independence, we have not just individual investment steps by partners in Ukraine, but systemic models for investment.
"In particular, this is the Danish model, the Danish model that invests and attracts investments in production. We have also agreed with France on a slightly different model - involving technology and the construction of relevant production facilities. We also have preliminary agreements with our other partners on localising weapons production in Ukraine. This is something that will constantly strengthen us," Zelenskyy said.
