President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the announcement.

He reviewed reports concerning the arrival of equipment and ammunition, as well as the distribution to combat and preparing reserve brigades.

"The share of our own production is constantly increasing. The state signs serious, long-term contracts with our enterprises, which provide predictability, the ability to employ people and attract investment. This month our industry will produce 10 Bohdana self-propelled howitzers for the first time, and more will follow in May and later," the President informed.

Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, reported on the current situation at the front and the results of the strike on Russian targets in Crimea.

"We are still waiting for the final details, but it is already clear that the occupiers have suffered painful losses," Zelenskyy said.

The participants of the meeting also discussed methods of combating Russian propaganda TV broadcasts in the border regions.

"It is a technically demanding task, but we have our own developments that can handle it," Zelenskyy summarized.

  • On April 2, the NYT wrote that Ukraine is producing 8 Bohdana self-propelled artillery systems per month.
