During his speech at the Defense Industries Forum in the Netherlands, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed outrage over Russia's preparations for new military operations against NATO countries. He urged European countries to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP. These words are supported by data from Ukrainian intelligence, which proves Russia's plans for further aggression beyond Ukraine.

The president supported the European defense initiative and called for increased investments in joint weapon production and the development of air defense systems.
