Quote: "As of today, around 60 companies in Ukraine have been engaged in shooting down jet-powered drones, destroying them on a massive scale. To be exact, the number is 67."

Details: Zelenskyy added that three to five companies have so far demonstrated results and are expected to be capable of mass-producing drones soon.

"Of course, all this defence is 'Plan B', although it is very relevant at the moment. 'Plan A' is to maximise diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation caused by Russia," he said.
