Ukraine is working on developing new domestic missiles, and they will be "very long-range", says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a press conference in Kyiv.

“People are working 24/7. We promised long-range drones - and delivered. 1,500 km, we already have such products. And now there are drone missiles,” the president said.

He adds that Ukraine is currently working on the development of domestic missiles.

“There will be other missiles, very powerful and very long-range,” he emphasized.

Weapons production in Ukraine

Today, on Independence Day, Ukraine used a new drone missile called Palianytsia for the first time.

This is a Ukrainian-made weapon that has already proven itself on the battlefield.

Zelenskyy says that the new domestic Palyanytsia missile is Ukraine's way of acting while some partners are slow to make decisions.
