President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that Ukraine needed to secure and deploy advanced missiles and to achieve faster results with them on the battlefield, APA reports citing Reuters.
Speaking in his nightly video address, Zelenskyy said a meeting with top commanders had been devoted to the development of domestic weapons supplies in the more than 2-1/2-year war against Russia.
This, he said, involved drones, electronic warfare and, above all, deploying missiles that would reap rapid benefits in battlefield confrontations with Russian forces.
"Special emphasis is on our national missile programme in all its elements. In all of Ukraine's missiles achievements, there must be more combat accomplishments both at the front and on Russian territory," Zelenskyy said.
"Results are needed faster. And all relevant tasks are now being carried out."
