Quote: "We are also working on exports – controlled exports of certain types of our weapons where we have a surplus – which can truly provide Ukraine with additional funds to produce the items that are in short supply and urgently needed at the front today, as well as those that have proven most effective in striking deep inside Russian territory. Agreements have already been reached on four export destinations: the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. We will be preparing the relevant deals."

Details: Zelenskyy said he had held a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief on Monday 29 September, where reports on Ukraine's long-range needs had been delivered.

Quote: "We need to maximise production, and Ukraine's manufacturing capacity is still far from fully utilised. We are directing Ukrainian funding so that every company capable of delivering quality results receives an order and can fully carry it out. Partners are helping us with financing, especially for drones. This is important and tangible, and I thank you for it. The task of the Ministry of Defence and all involved institutions is to ensure that manufacturers receive as many orders as they can realistically fulfil...

We are planning contracts and production to ensure that our arsenals are sufficiently supplied."

Background: US President Donald Trump has authorised Kyiv to launch long-range strikes on Russia.
