Ukraine needs to speed up arms supplies

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed arms supplies and communication with partners with Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. He said that Ukraine needs to accelerate the supply of weapons, in particular from the United States.

This is stated in the evening address of the President.

Zelenskyy stressed that the battlefield should not be dominated by the occupiers' bombs but by our Ukrainian initiative - our air defense, our artillery, our drones.

"We are counting on the promptness of supplies from the United States - supplies that should be felt in the destroyed logistics of the occupier, in their fear of being based anywhere in the occupied territory, as well as in our strength - in the strength that should show itself in the Pokrovske direction, in the Kurakhivske, Siverske, Lyman, Kupianske... In the south of the state. Wherever Russia is pressing, we have to push it out. And also wherever there may be new threats of attack," the president said.

The Head of State also expressed gratitude to everyone who helps Ukrainian defenders.

"Particular results have been achieved concerning drones. I thank each and every person who works for this, who produces drones, who trains operators, and who supplies everything necessary. And I thank each of our partners who are doing everything they can to strengthen our position," Zelenskyy summarized.
