This task was not easy: usually the Russians and other North Korean military personnel finish off their wounded and do everything possible to ensure that no evidence of the participation of another state — North Korea — in the war against Ukraine is preserved.

Zelenskyy spoke about the results of the bet on January 11

As the head of state noted, the focus was on Ukrainian drone operations and procurement for 2025, the procurement of everything the Defense Forces need.

Today we reported on contracts — those that are already being implemented, those that are planned. This is a joint task of arms manufacturers, our government officials, and everyone involved — to make this year a record year for drones of all types, as well as to significantly increase the production of Ukrainian missiles, artillery, and all necessary equipment.

The Head of State also emphasized that he had ordered an increase in the number of drone orders.

According to him, this is already being implemented.

Our arsenals are one of the guarantees of independence, as is the accuracy of our soldiers. And I thank all the units that strike at Russian territory: at military facilities, at the military logistics of the occupier. There should be more and more such important results.
