When asked if there was an understanding of when the presence of new American aid would be felt on the front line, Zelensky answered: "There is a set of steps that need to be taken. First of all, this package was voted for so that Ukraine could hold off the enemy's offensive.

Zelenskyy noted that it is important to reduce the number of Russia's advantages.
We have started producing REBs and drones, and we are now saturating our teams. Here I see that russia has no advantage, but on the contrary, we have more drones, FPV drones, than they do. I see our advantage here. Then there are technical issues - their advantage is in large drones that hover, see everything, control and direct their artillery, and we cannot overcome them today. We do not have enough technical means to cope with these Lancets and Orlanes. We need to work on this

He also noted that russia has full visibility of Ukraine, flying its drones on Ukrainian territory.
Our drones fly into russian territory. We are responsible for strikes on our energy sector, and we respond with strikes on their energy sector. But we don't have the appropriate means to see what's going on in their country, no satellite, etc. Our partners share with us
