Zelensky added that there was also a separate update from Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Pavlo Palisa regarding the amount of direct funds allocated to brigades specifically for the additional procurement of drones.

"A decision was recently made on the sum of these direct funds, but it's now clear that the amount is still insufficient. I have instructed the prime minister to increase funding for the brigades significantly in the coming days," he said.
