Best - so we can produce advanced weapons to guarantee safety to Ukraine and we will produce - Presidential appeal
This also applies to long -range weapons - we do our best to make Ukraine do more to liberate its territory. So with the air defense. To close the entire territory of our country, we need more systems than we now have. It is best - that we can produce both air defense and other advanced weapons. This is free. To guarantee Ukraine's security. And we will produce, step by step we will build all the necessary production.
And, by the way, we see a very clear interest in the world to work with us for the sake of a new defense force not only of Ukraine but also our partners. In general, our world is a world that is based on rules and will not tolerate aggression and terror that Russia is trying to make the norm. Today, Strategpromy Kamyshin's Minister has reported to prepare the first defense industry forum: there are already more than 160 companies that will be participants. 26 countries.
Different parts of the world: America, Asia, Europe, Australia. Manufacturers of full range of weapons. We will do our best to unite the world for the creation of a new and powerful arsenal for Ukraine and all defenders of international law. He also held meetings today on the results of the visit to the US and Canada and meetings with the leaders of partner states in the fields of the UN General Assembly.
All the arrangements we have reached every prospect for Ukraine - we must implement everything as soon as possible. For each of the directions, we define a specific official who will be responsible for the implementation of the arrangements. Defense, political interaction, strengthening and purification of institutions, energy, recovery. Particular attention is a special US Special Representative for the Restoration of Ukraine Penny Pritsker. This is a very important purpose.
It is a clear symbol of America's trust in Ukraine's future. I met in New York with Mrs. Prizzker, she was also in Washington-at an expanded negotiation with President Biden. Productive mood. And it is important for us that the special representative is able to start working with Ukraine and Ukraine as soon as possible. He also held a meeting with government officials and office on our grain exports. They coordinated further steps and recorded the results achieved.
The first is that the European Commission supported the road map of mutual grain export monitoring. This is completely rationally. Second, we gradually remove emotions on this topic on most questions. Working with neighbors can and should become quite constructive, and Ukraine does everything for this. Third: I am grateful to those partners who have not committed violations of the EU trade rules and the Association Agreement.
We expect the same constructive work as with Bulgaria and Romania from other neighboring countries. The EU is a space for mutual understanding and cooperation. So it should be. And one more. I want to thank all our Air Force warriors, all our anti -aircraft, mobile fire groups who reflect Russian rocket and drone shocks every day and night. Only during one attack against Ukraine last night did the enemy use 33 percussions - "Shahda", rockets. Most of them are against Odessa and region.
Most of them are shot. Unfortunately, not everyone. Unfortunately, there were hit. But 30 targets out of 33 were neutralized. It is important to remember that every disposed of a goal is saved lives. And we will answer Russia to every blow against our cities and villages, against every Ukrainian community. Both Odessa, Berislav and Kherson, for Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy. For all our regions.
