On the Ukraine's Defense and Industrial Complex Employee Day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated all those who work in the industry and presented them with state awards.

"Today is one of those days when gratitude should prevail. Today is your professional day. It is a day to honor all those who organize, develop, and build Ukrainian strength. Everyone in the world can see this strength - the strength of our country," the Head of State said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that there are currently 500 defense industry enterprises operating in Ukraine. Almost 300,000 people are employed in this priority production. They produce domestic shells, weapons, mortars, armored vehicles, anti-tank weaponry, electronic warfare systems and much more. And that, according to the President, helps our soldiers and our country.

"Other countries are already interested in our weapons and in cooperating with us. After all, without our strength there would be no full-fledged force of the EU and NATO. Ukraine will ensure security for itself and help others to maintain and preserve their security," the president said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy inspected the latest models of military equipment and weapons, and listened to a report on the volume of their production and use at the front. He also discussed with the manufacturers the issues of public procurement of the displayed samples and the possibility of increasing their production.

Two years ago, on April 13, the Moskva missile cruiser, was hit and sunk by Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles, developed and manufactured by Ukrainians. In honor of this event, the President signed a decree establishing a professional holiday for employees of Ukrainian defense and industrial complex. Today, a significant part of the terrorist state's fleet was sunk and disabled by Ukrainian-made unmanned vessels.
