Zelenskyy: Tech Advances Key to National Security
At the Global Security Forum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that no nation can afford to lag in defense technology. He highlighted Ukraine’s recent “Spiderweb” drone operation, which targeted Russian strategic bombers at remote airfields using low-cost drones—a tactic he called “completely legitimate.”

He praised Czechia’s ammunition aid and urged stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports, suggesting a $30-per-barrel cap could pressure Moscow toward peace.
Zelenskyy also called for stronger support for Ukraine, Moldova, and Balkan countries in joining the EU and NATO, stressing that unity and respect for human life are essential to lasting security.
