🇺🇦 Ukraine now intercepts hundreds of Russian drones, maintains a high interception rate against cruise missiles, and continues to expand its defence industry despite fighting a full-scale war. Speaking at the NATO Defence Industry Forum, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained why these capabilities would strengthen NATO’s collective defence.

💬 President Zelenskyy: “If we already have these capabilities, if Ukrainians already know how to fight like this, then it does make sense for these capabilities to become a part of the Alliance’s collective defence. That would make all of us stronger.

And we already see each other as reliable partners. And it would be only natural to become a part of one common security community.

The fact is that we will remain next to the source of the problem – Russia – for a long time. Ukraine in NATO is a source of extraordinary defensive capability.”
