There was a report from our military and the Minister of Defense on the results from April. We have strong results in eliminating the occupier.
Russia suffers significant personnel losses every month – with over 35,000 killed and badly wounded in April. There is clear evidence for each strike. The Defense Forces of Ukraine are maintaining a stable level of protection of our positions. The task is to build on these results.
The number of middle strikes has also grown significantly. There are now twice as many strikes at distances of 20+ kilometers compared with March, and four times as many compared with February. And there will be even more. This is a priority area.
It is absolutely essential to increase the number of robotic missions. In April, UGVs carried out more than 10,200 logistical and evacuation missions, and this is a significant result. But given the scale of the front, much more of this work is needed. Accordingly, contracting UGVs, their production and supply to the troops must continue to grow. May must deliver higher figures, and this has been set as a target indicator for the military and the Ministry of Defense.
We will continue to ramp up production of all types of drones and robotic systems. I thank everyone who contributes to this result every day. And I thank our partners for confirming financial support. Glory to Ukraine!(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
