Ukraine News: Zelenskyj calls for faster supply of troops
President Volodymyr Zelenskyj spoke on Tuesday with the heads of the military and the relevant ministries about supplying the units with ammunition and drones. He reported this in his video speech in the evening. “The main thing is that all logistics must become faster,” Zelensky said.
According to reports from the front, Ukrainian troops are suffering from a lack of ammunition. Given the frequent Russian airstrikes, there are also fears that anti-aircraft defenses are running out of ammunition.

Zelensky was confident that the troops could be provided with what they needed despite such problems. “We also talked about opening new production lines for weapons and ammunition in Ukraine – in our companies and together with partners,” he said. (speaking with agency material)
