At Ramstin, the President urged partners to join the creation of arsenal of drones, strengthen Ukrainian air defense and strengthen sanctions against the Russian Federation

In 11 days, a new chapter begins for Europe and all over the world, and this is a time when you need to act even more actively, rely on each other and achieve results together. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during a speech at a meeting of the Defense Group of Ukraine in the Ramstein format, which was attended by representatives of 49 partner countries.

The head of state stressed that this year Ukraine wants to set a record for the number and quality of drones that it produces itself and receives from partners. It is exactly the weapon that has already changed the nature of the war. “Ukrainians have the greatest experience of using drones in Europe, and we also have the highest potential in Europe to produce them. So, first, I ask to invest more in this Ukrainian force, because after the war it will become your power.

Secondly, invest in talented people in your countries who can help strengthen us all in the field of drones, ”the President said. Separately, Volodymyr Zelensky urged the partners to fulfill all arrangements for the supply of assistance packages to the front and the NATO -Front Defense Summit promised at the last summit. “You saw what happened yesterday in our city of Zaporozhye - 13 people were killed from Russian bombs, 112 were injured. It was only one day, only one attack, one air strike.

We have to stop Russian terror. And you can do it, ”he said. The Head of State noted that with the majority of the Ramstayna countries, Ukraine already has bilateral interaction in the security sector enshrined in 27 agreements and invited to cooperate others. The President also called on all partners of Ukraine, especially the US and the EU, to strengthen sanctions against Russian energy and to stop the shadow fleet. “The Russian military budget for 2025 exceeds last year by 25%.
