According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine wants to take stronger action against the Russian arms industry. During a consultation with his military leadership, there was a report on the situation in Russia’s military-industrial complex. “We can clearly see in which areas pressure on Russia needs to be increased in order to prevent terrorist capabilities from growing,” the president said in his video address on Tuesday evening.
Foreign sanctions against the Russian defense industry are not enough. “There will be more Ukrainian measures against the terrorist state,” said Zelensky. He did not give any details. “As long as Russia’s aggression continues, Russia will have to feel its losses.”
Moscow has expanded arms production because of the war of aggression against Ukraine. Kiev is concerned because Russian industry can still obtain electronic components from other countries despite the sanctions.
According to Zelensky, the inner circle of the Kiev leadership was also concerned with the supply of artillery ammunition. “This is an issue we deal with every day,” he said. The deliveries from the previous partner countries are important. At the same time, Ukraine is looking for new sources. “And we are gradually increasing the volume of our Ukrainian production.”
Against the traditionally strong Russian artillery, Ukraine has achieved firepower superiority on some sectors of the front with the help of new guns from Western countries. The supply of ammunition is always in short supply.
