"There was a report from our military and the Minister of Defense on the results of April. We have strong results in destroying the occupier. Russia suffers significant personnel losses every month, and for April, there are over 35,000 killed and seriously wounded. There is clear confirmation for every strike. The Defense Forces of Ukraine maintain a stable level of protection of our positions. The task is to increase results," the President stated on social media.
The number of middle strikes has also increased significantly. Currently, strikes at a distance of 20+ kilometers are twice as many compared to March and four times as many compared to February. And there will be even more. This is a priority direction,
Also, according to him, "it is absolutely fundamental: we need to increase the number of robotic missions." "In April, more than 10,200 logistics and evacuation tasks were carried out by UGVs, and this is a significant result. But on the scale of the front, much more such work is needed. Accordingly, UGV contracting, production, and supply to the troops must constantly grow. May should yield higher figures, and this is set as a target for the military and the Ministry of Defense," the President indicated.
We will continue to increase the production of all types of drones and robotic systems. I thank everyone who contributes to this result every day. And I thank our partners for confirming financial support. Glory to Ukraine!
