Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj stated that Ukraine is capable of producing daily 2,000 defensive drones aimed at protecting against attacks, with half of these available for allies to bolster their defenses. This announcement was made during his address to the British Parliament, emphasizing Ukraine's critical role in assisting its partners amid ongoing conflicts, particularly in light of recent Iranian aerial counterattacks prompted by a U.S.-Israeli offensive.

Zelenskyj further highlighted that the Ukrainian government is working on the production of underwater drones that can operate in oceanic environments. This development marks a significant step for Ukraine as it seeks to enhance its military capabilities and establish a more versatile defense strategy against a backdrop of continued Russian aggression. Ukraine has been defending itself from extensive Russian attacks for over four years and has been adapting its military technology in response to these threats.

With Ukrainian forces facing nightly drone attacks from Russia, which employs hundreds of drones such as the Geraň-2, Zelenskyj's remarks underscore the urgency for advanced defense systems. He called on allies to collaborate in building modern defense forces informed by Ukraine’s battlefield experiences, thereby reinforcing the notion that cooperative defense strategies are vital in confronting international threats and ensuring regional stability.
