❗️Zelensky called Ukraine’s funding shortfall a “cosmic” deficit and said Kyiv is preparing proposals to close it; there is not even enough money to scale up high-speed interceptor drones that have already successfully destroyed Shaheds.

Sixty-seven companies are working on interceptors for jet-powered drones, contracts are already being signed with some manufacturers, and agreements have been reached on certain financial decisions.
