Kamyshin stated in a televised address that Ukraine plans to "significantly increase ammunition production" this year.

Ukrainian Minister of Digitalization Mykhailo Fedorov emphasised that 90% of the drones used on the battlefield against Russian forces were produced within Ukraine.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klimenko stated that no weapons have crossed the border from Ukraine into the European Union during the two years of the Russian invasion.
