There will be more investments from partners in the production of Ukrainian drones. This year should be a record year for our drone production,

The main issue today was the support of Ukrainians, especially internally displaced persons. We need to rebuild destroyed homes, provide social and financial support. For this year, a total of $3.3 billion has been allocated under UN programs to support Ukrainians. Today we discussed how to make the UN assistance more effective and how to bring closer the most desirable thing for us - a just peace," the President noted.
