Details: Zelenskyy added that he expects at least 30,000 Russian soldiers to be killed in August.

Quote: "Today, Defence Minister Khmara and I spoke about our need for drones and the technological component. We discussed in detail, both with him and at the Staff meeting, the issue of funding for the army – we need to cover the shortfall as much as possible. The amount is substantial.
