President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that modern assault troops with drones and other components will be created in the Ukrainian army.
During an interview with Ukrainian journalists, he explained that such units are already operating at the front, but now they have decided to legally consolidate them, Ukrinform reported.
"As for the assault troops, we have assault battalions and regiments, which will certainly show good results throughout 2025. And we decided that we need to enter the legal arena," Zelenskyy explained. - "The "russians" decided to do the same as us. We will now create separate assault troops, this decision has been made. Everything is being prepared now, and I think that in about a week or ten days everything will be working."
He also noted that Ukraine allows the possibility of joint shooting down of drones over Ukrainian territory, for example, together with Poland, since this is a matter of justice. He agrees that this may concern at least the west of Ukraine, but interaction is necessary.
"Not only that the drone falls on the heads of Ukrainians, that it does not reach the territory of Poland, but that these are decisions that are made together. That is, we have air defense - we shoot down everything that flies at us and flies to Poland," the President explained his position. - "And Poland also shoots down everything that flies at them and what flies to us with its planes. We can only take the regions of the western part of our state - where there are opportunities in Poland. Or it can be not only Poland, but also Romania, we do not count on others."
