Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Thursday at the Global Security Forum that no country can afford to fall behind in technological development when it comes to national security.
He made the comments via a video link and cited Ukraine’s recent “Spiderweb” operation, which used low-cost drones to strike Russian strategic bombers, calling the move “completely legitimate.”
Zelenskyy said the technologies of war are rapidly changing and that operations unimaginable ten years ago are now routine. “Today, we can hardly imagine what kinds of strikes a country will be capable of in ten years,” he added.
The president also called on European countries to increase drone production and financial support. Ukraine plans to boost its production by 40% soon but lacks sufficient funding.
Zelenskyy praised Czechia’s initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine, describing it as a vital example of how united efforts can make a real difference in modern warfare.
He urged stronger economic sanctions against Russia, especially targeting its oil revenues.
“If Russian oil sells for no more than $30 a barrel, Moscow will start sounding more peaceful.”
Zelenskyy emphasized that respect for human life must be a core security principle and called for increased political support for Ukraine, Moldova, and Balkan countries in their efforts to join the European Union and NATO.
“Only through unity can we create safe conditions for our neighbours—conditions that protect both them and us,” Zelenskyy concluded.
