  "account": "Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed a press conference alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Calgary on September 10, emphasizing that funds are the primary challenge in countering Russia's fast drones. The Ukrainian leader pointed out that the main obstacles are time and financial resources, rather than technological limitations. He urged partners to collaborate on joint production and establish production lines to address the growing threat posed by Russia's drone attacks. Russia, which has reportedly built around 3,000 jet-powered drones each month, has intensified its drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, targeting supply chains, industries, and residential areas. Ukraine's Air Force has not yet developed sufficient interceptor drones to counter the fast and agile Russian drones effectively.",
  "summary": "Dozens of firms are chasing the problem, but nobody has funded production at the scale the nightly waves demand.",
