Ukraine is developing two more drones of the Palyanytsia type — Zelenskiy
The head of state announced this during a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrid Šimonite.
Ukraine's missile program includes a cluster called Palyanytsia. The cluster includes three products. The test of the first was positive, which is why I congratulated our state. This missile drone is much faster than our long-range drones and more powerful. These are, in principle, all the details that I can address in an open conversation.

We did not go to Russia with a war. It is from there to here, to our house, that they are carrying ruins and trying to impose slavery on us. Ukrainians answer this quite fairly. They respond with their own strength and together with our partners — honestly, consistently, accurately and more and more far-reaching every day.

This is our new method of retaliating against the aggressor. The enemy was hit.
