Zelensky Announces New Agreements on Ammunition, Weapons Production

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Kyiv has secured new agreements this week with its partners for the supply of ammunition, as well as funding for the production of weapons, drones, and missiles.

In a televised address, according to Ukrinform news agency, Zelensky stated that Ukraine held meetings in Germany and Italy this week on the issue. Additionally, Ukraine’s Defense Minister and military officials worked separately to reach new agreements in France, the UK, and Germany.

Zelensky emphasized that "air defense remains a top priority, and we continue to persuade our partners at all levels regarding long-range capabilities. Russia can only avoid seeking peace as long as the world hesitates to make strong decisions aimed at defeating Russia, and long-range capabilities are one of those key strategic decisions."

He expressed gratitude to all the countries supporting Ukraine in achieving these strategic measures, adding: "Regarding the steps announced in Ramstein and the other assistance agreed upon this week, I would like to commend Germany, the United States, the UK, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia."
