President Volodymyr Zelenskyy chaired a meeting of the Commander-in-Chief's Staff to discuss strengthening air defence and developing a comprehensive programme for the development of domestic KABs.
He announced this on Telegram.
Zelenskyy noted that he had heard a report on further strengthening air defence and decided to increase the number of mobile fire groups in the regions that are priority targets during Russian shelling.
‘There was a report on a comprehensive programme against Russian KABs. There are promising technological solutions. There was also a report on the current state of Ukraine's missile programme, including the development of its own guided aerial bombs. Reports on three-year contracts for manufacturers of drones and other types of weapons,’ Zelenskyy said.
The President also heard a detailed report from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyy. The Commander-in-Chief decided to significantly strengthen the most difficult areas - Kurakhove and Pokrovske.
In the Kursk Region, the Defence Forces continue to hold back almost 50,000 Russian troops outside Ukraine.
