Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Great Britain wants drones like Ukraine's. We can help

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed a significant exchange of defense technologies between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, focusing on the production of drones and missiles. Zelenskyy highlighted that Kyiv urgently needs defense technology and believes the UK can also benefit from this collaboration.

We have good missiles, but at the same time, we see the powerful Storm Shadow, which Great Britain possesses.

"We have good missiles, but at the same time, we see the powerful Storm Shadow that Great Britain possesses," Zelenskyy stated in an interview with Sky News. He expressed Ukraine's interest in producing specific defense systems or their equivalents, adding, "We want to produce this or produce something similar."

Zelenskyy specifically mentioned the potential for collaboration in unmanned systems. "Great Britain wants to have drones like ours, including naval drones. We are also open to this. ... Thanks to our experience, we are also ready to provide what Great Britain will need or want to exchange," the president explained. This suggests a mutual interest in leveraging each nation's advancements in military technology.

In the same interview, Zelenskyy addressed recent government changes, including the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. He attributed this decision to a lack of consistent dialogue between Fedorov and the military command. "I don't have time to first listen to one side and then the other. They should meet every hour until our sky is completely closed (from Russian attacks)," Zelenskyy asserted, emphasizing the urgency of military coordination.

Zelenskyy also commented on Russia's potential for a large mobilization, which he views as a significant threat. He explained that Ukrainian attacks on targets deep within Russia aim to make Russian citizens feel the consequences of the war, stating, "That is why we started doing everything to respond and direct the war to Russia."
