The presence of the defense sector is especially important. I spoke about the situation on the battlefield, about the increase in massive Russian attacks on our cities. That is why supporting Ukraine's defense production, increasing the number of drones, and creating joint ventures is an absolute priority now. This is the fastest way to combat the increasing number of Russian-Iranian 'Shaheds',"
