გოჩა მირცხულავა: კობახიძე მემკვიდრედ ბიძინას უნდა თუ არა, ამას არა აქვს მნიშვნელობა, კობახიძეს მიაჩნ
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this in a video address, according to Ukrinform.
"We are working with partners so that [drone] production in their countries also operates at full capacity – both for our joint defense now and for the future, after the war, as part of the partners' arsenals. We're engaging all leaders and countries that can help with investment, components, and production. This week, we are preparing a meeting with members of the 'Coalition of the Willing.' Ukrainian representatives at the Recovery Conference in Italy will have a clear list of tasks focused on defense right now – the defense of our cities, the defense of our communities," Zelensky said.
According to him, the whole world sees how heavily Russia is relying on the use of Shahed drones.
"They don't have many remaining ways to prolong the war. Russian-Iranian drones are one of those ways. I thank everyone who is helping to counter these attacks," Zelensky said.

"We're also preparing relevant meetings this week in Italy. I've tasked Ukraine's defense minister with preparing the upcoming Ramstein meetings in various formats. Today, I discussed several options with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The UK, together with Germany and other partners, is maintaining the functionality of the Ramstein format. And in August-September, we expect – and very much hope – for new steps from this format to bolster Ukraine's resilience," Zelensky said.
