Volodymyr Zelenskyi
President of Ukraine
Zelenskyi also inspected the latest samples of military equipment and weapons, listened to a report on the volume of their production and use at the front.
Ukrainian "Stugnas", Ukrainian armor, Ukrainian FPV-drones are no longer something unusual. I am proud of all our people and enterprises, which also make modern Ukrainian artillery common — modern calibers and guns are necessary.
