Zelenskyy: Ukraine uses over 300 long-range drones daily to strike Russia

Zelenskyy made the comments during a joint news conference with leaders from Northern Europe and the Baltic states in Tallinn. He said Ukraine’s defense industry is ramping up production to reach parity and to force Russians to “feel the consequences” of the war on their own territory.

He said Russia’s campaign of terror against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure remains critically high, with Moscow launching roughly 650 kamikaze UAVs and 35 to 100 missiles of various types in each attack.

“We are responding, and, of course, we do not yet have the same number of systems, but we have 300–350 systems that we are using, and we will reach the number that will allow us to respond fully,” Zelenskyy said.

He added that eventually Ukraine will be able to respond in full, once the domestic missile program produces an effective ballistic missile design.

“And, of course, Russia understands that if there are 600 drones and missiles, they will feel this war as we do — but they will feel it at home,” he said.
