Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Zelenskyy emphasized the need for sufficient resources to defend Ukraine and maintain an equal strength against Russia. He introduced Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara, who outlined three key priorities for the Ministry of Defense: strengthening the front lines, supporting the military, and developing the defense industry.
These priorities include enhancing air defense systems, advancing ballistic and anti-ballistic technologies, expanding drone capabilities, and increasing long-range strikes. To achieve these goals, Khmara stressed the importance of reducing bureaucratic hurdles, accelerating decision-making processes, and improving communication between the ministry and frontline forces.
