As of mid-October, one million drones have been purchased by Ukraine with state funds and deployed to the front, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening video address.

On October 14, the president received a report from his strategic advisor, Oleksandr Kamyshin, regarding Ukrainian weapons production and supplies to the military.

"As of today, there are already one million drones that have been purchased at state expense and delivered to the front. And this is only the state's contribution," the president said.

"I want to thank everyone who makes our army technologically advanced: all Ukrainian manufacturers, our entire state sector, all partners who invest in the production of drones in Ukraine," Zelenskyy emphasized.
