Zelenskyy: Flamingos must become mass-produced birds and "winter" in Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the vital role of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex in safeguarding the nation's independence. He specifically praised the FP-5, or 'Flamingo,' cruise missiles manufactured by Ukraine. Despite having tens of millions of these missiles and shells, Zelenskyy believes more is needed.

Ground robotic systems are conducting hazardous missions on the front lines, saving thousands of soldiers. Naval drones are effectively countering enemy fleets, while mid-strikes are crippling their logistics. Deep strikes have reached numerous locations across Russia, including Tuapse, Tula, and Omsk, demonstrating the Ukrainian justice.

Zelenskyy urged for more such justice, suggesting that the 'Flamingos' should not be a rare species but rather mass-produced and stationed in Russia. He noted that Ukraine is taking decisive action to counter Russia's ballistic threats and will continue to do so, confident that their determination is beyond Russia's capabilities.

Zelenskyy expressed pride in the resilience and dedication of Ukrainians, both in the military and in various civilian professions.
