I met in Kyiv with a team from the American defense company Lockheed Martin, which helps us save lives. Its Patriot systems and F-16 aircraft play an important role in defending against Russian ballistic missiles and jet-powered “shaheds.” And things are not easy with either right now. We discussed how we can expand and increase supplies. The company is currently ramping up production of ballistic missile interceptors. We count on the opportunity to purchase some of them to protect more lives. We are also trying to do everything possible to ensure that F-16 maintenance and repairs are carried out in Ukraine. Thank you for the meeting. It is important that Lockheed Martin has a presence in Ukraine. We are doing everything on our part to expand our partnership.

“Vivaldi” is a very successful operation. It's not finished yet. As of today, about 125–140 square kilometers have been de-occupied. Importantly, the number of Russians killed and wounded over the last 2–3 months has increased. Since the beginning of the year, they had 30–32,000 casualties per month – 21–22,000 killed and others badly wounded. Now, we are talking about 42,000 casualties a month. So, during the offensive, we lost several times fewer people than Russia, and they have been on the defensive. Our military wanted to start this operation a year ago, but it was not that well prepared yet. Thank God, we decided to postpone it a bit, and now we have good results and fewer losses.
