President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has set three tasks for the new Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov. The first is to close Ukrainian skies from enemy drones.
He said this at a meeting with journalists, Ukrainska Pravda reports.
«Closing the sky is important in any case, regardless of how the situation develops. This is their task for today. It is very difficult, but that is why it is number one, Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President noted that the second task is to deal with the issue of busification, that is, the forced mobilization of conscripts on the streets.
«I asked [Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Pavlo] Palis, together with Fedorov, to put an end to unresolved issues regarding the contract army, all contract formats, of which a great many have already been developed, contracts must actually work,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the third task.
He also noted that it is necessary to increase the production of our own drones.
«So that we don’t overpay, we don’t buy both drones and artillery. Because the budget is a budget, and the size of our artillery is growing, and drones are growing — everything is growing. Previously, the military used to say: there will be more drones, we will need less artillery. Now the demand is that we need more drones, we also need more artillery,» Zelensky said.
According to him, «the kill zone is already larger, wider than the projectile’s capabilities.»
