The head of state noted that the participants at the Headquarters discussed topics such as drones, shells, the front, fortification and energy.
The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky held a regular meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief on Friday, February 2. In particular, the participants discussed the issues of projectiles and drones. The head of state announced this on his Telegram channel.
“The plan is for 2024. Contracts have been increased. We have planned an additional budget specifically for drones and will ensure its implementation,” said the country’s leader.
Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Fedorov and Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov reported on this topic.
According to the president, this year more than 90% of the drones on the front are made domestically.
The second issue at Headquarters is the production and import of shells. The talk is about increasing contracts and speeding up the work of manufacturers. Umerov also reported this issue.
According to the president, all major areas are considered at Headquarters. He designated the Avdeevskoe direction as particularly difficult.
The commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, the commander of the Ground Forces Alexander Syrsky and the commander of the operational-strategic group of troops Odessa Eduard Moskalev reported.
Headquarters members also discussed the construction of fortifications. Prime Minister Denis Shmigal reported this topic on the issues of financing, and Umerov on the implementation of tasks.
The final issue is recovery from Russian attacks, physical energy protection and our systemic measures. Shmigal and Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine Alexander Kubrakov and Chairman of the Board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Alexey Chernyshev, together with the head of the state-owned enterprise Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudritsky, also reported on this topic.
Let’s remember that the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, said that the EU will still achieve its goal of producing 1 million shells this spring, which can be sent to Ukraine.
In addition, according to a high-ranking European official, the EU should send 500 thousand shells to Ukraine by the end of 2023, and in 2024 the 1 million shells promised by the European Union will be delivered.
