Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has lost the initiative in the war. According to the head of state, 500 Ukrainian companies are developing cutting-edge military technologies to win the innovation race.
Zelenskyy shared this information in an interview with Fox News.
The President reported that approximately 500 companies in Ukraine are currently working on developing military technologies to gain an advantage over Russia.
“Since the beginning of the war, when Putin said he would occupy us in two to three days, we are now building a massive military-technical industry. We have 500 companies with very powerful technologies,” Zelenskyy stated.
According to the head of state, the conflict has evolved into a true innovation race, where technologies require constant enhancement, as, for instance, drones quickly become obsolete without adaptation.
“We understand that this war changes every three to six months. We have to change technologies,” he noted.
The President also emphasized that due to Russia’s numerical superiority, Ukraine must outpace the adversary through the pace of technological development.
“We must act faster than Putin because Putin has more people… and we must save our people and use more technology than [their] people,” Zelenskyy said.
Furthermore, he asserted that the enhancement of Ukraine’s military capabilities and strikes on Russian targets have deprived Putin of strategic initiative.
“Putin loses 30,000 soldiers per month. The losses are significant, but he does not want to stop this war. Therefore, the initiative is currently not in Putin’s hands,” the Ukrainian leader assured.
Incidentally, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is prepared for a diplomatic resolution to the war and a temporary ceasefire, but the Kremlin is obstructing this process due to Putin’s unwillingness to halt hostilities. According to the president, Ukraine and its international partners are compelled to increase sanctions and pressure on Moscow due to Russian aggression.
