On the air of ICTV TV channel on Friday, September 1st, Oleksiy Danilov highlighted that on the previous day President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the successful use of long-range weapons of domestic production – hitting a target at a distance of 700 km.
At the same time, Oleksiy Danilov said that Ukraine is not at war with the civilian population of the Russian federation, but strikes exclusively at military targets.
Volodymyr Zelensky: “The development of our own weapons production is a top priority.”
Meanwhile, British arms manufacturer BAE Systems has set up a legal entity in Ukraine and signed deals to help ramp up supplies of weapons and equipment to Kyiv.
The firm said the move will allow it to work directly with Ukraine to explore potential partners and ultimately produce light artillery there.
BAE has produced much of the weaponry the UK and other nations have sent to Ukraine.
Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, Britain has become a major defence supplier to Ukraine.
“Signing the agreements and establishing a legal entity in Ukraine builds on our existing trust and support and paves the way for us to work together to provide more direct support to the Ukrainian armed forces,” said Mr Woodburn.
