UZHGOROD, Aug 2 – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine's goal is to make its defense industry one of the strongest in Europe and noted that a strong diplomatic support is needed for this.

"We are adding new capacities to Ukraine every month for weapons and ammo production, repairs and maintenance of equipment. We are building up artillery and missile production. For the first time in Ukraine, we are creating an army of drones and a fleet of marine drones. Our goal is to make Ukraine's defense industry one of the strongest in Europe and this requires a strong diplomatic support," he said at a conference with Ukrainian ambassadors in Uzhgorod on Wednesday.
