There is definitely positive progress with the Czech initiative, but we will be able to assess the positive result only when the appropriate number of shells is in Ukraine, then it will be the final correct result for Ukraine

- Zelensky said. 

He noted that the only alternative to the artillery shortage so far is drones. 

As for the alternative to this scarce 155 caliber, today there are only drones - we are producing them, and production is growing - this is the only alternative to the artillery shortage so far. When we talk about the shortage, there are other types of weapons, our partners have them, but there can be no shortage of courage, because if we have decided on the territorial integrity of Ukraine and on the defense of Ukraine and our sovereignty, we should not hesitate for too long, but take the appropriate steps forward

 - Zelensky said.
