Our FREYJA program – a joint European anti-ballistic system – is already actively underway. Ten countries are already involved, and more of our partners will join – those capable of providing real support. We've already agreed on that. I am grateful to all the companies ready to work within the Anti-Ballistic Coalition. These are leading European companies. Ukraine is capable of producing its missile and launcher, while our partners will provide the necessary components and critical elements – radars, sensors, and everything else required. An anti-ballistic program of our own – one that is truly large-scale – will greatly benefit everyone in Europe. Today, we went over in detail what else is needed: which steps must be taken by our state and which by our partners so that Ukrainian weapons manufacturers and developers can deliver real results. Only a tiny minority of countries worldwide have developed an anti-ballistic project of this kind for themselves. Ukraine must join this group of nations. We are creating all the necessary conditions to make that happen. Others spent decades developing their systems. Ukraine must do this as quickly as possible, with concrete results already in place by the turn of 2026–2027. Ukraine is also working to develop ballistic missiles of its own. The tests have shown strong potential. We need to turn this into a real weapon.
