President Zelenskyy expressed concern about the slowdown in support from partners and called for Ukraine to strengthen its own defense capabilities to meet the challenges it faces.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that one of the challenges for Ukraine today is the situation with partner assistance. Some of the support is slowing down and we need to do everything to increase our own capabilities in Ukraine. Zelensky said this during a meeting of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, an UNN correspondent reports.

Each of you sees the challenges we face today, and each of you sees the threats we face. The first is the situation with the help of our partners. Unfortunately, we know that some of the support is slowing down, and we need to do everything we can to increase our own capabilities here. To increase our capabilities in Ukraine,

- Zelensky said.

He noted that there is no time to waste, we need to strengthen Ukraine, and at the same time communicate as much as possible at all levels with our Ukrainian partners.

"In particular, between communities, so that the world's attention to Ukraine is maintained. Today is a different challenge - to maintain it," Zelensky urged.

He also called on local and regional authorities to promote the development of all defense industries.

Every effective development, every Ukrainian weapon matters. I thank every community, every region that is already doing this. We have already proved in Ukraine that we can produce really strong drones, electronic warfare equipment, artillery, and vehicles. There should be a maximum of everything that the defense needs. There should be a maximum of ordinary economic activity, which gives people jobs and provides taxes and fees to the budget,

- Zelensky said.

In addition, he called on every community to pay maximum attention to Ukrainian soldiers undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after their injuries.

Support the families of our soldiers who are at the front and all those who really help the defense,

- Zelensky added.
