Zelenskyy: HQ approves decision on additional financing for our missile program

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff Headquarters on Tuesday.

"The number one issue is the situation at the front. Especially in detail – Pokrovsk, Toretsk and Kharkiv axes. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky reported via video linkup: he is now on the spot and keeps the situation under personal control. Separate reports from intelligence agencies – the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Foreign Intelligence Service – regarding the forecasts of the situation and goals of the Russian troops," he said on the Telegram channel.

The meeting also addressed the domestic production of drones and missiles, in particular, the need of the defense forces until the end of the year and the dynamics of production. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation Mykhailo Fedorov and Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin reported on the issue.

"The Headquarters approved a decision to send additional funding to our missile program. There will be more missiles of our own production," the head of state said.

Umerov also provided another report on the supply of weapons and equipment for additional brigades.

"We are actively working with partners," Zelenskyy said.
