Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine has successfully tested its first domestically produced ballistic missile.

During a press conference, Volodymyr Zelensky was asked about the defense industry's latest achievements, naming one: the positive test of the first Ukrainian ballistic missile.

The President of Ukraine also added that he could not say anything more on the subject but decided to share this information aloud so that the public could appreciate the people who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at defense enterprises.

The Ukrainian victory plan

During the conference, Zelensky also said that the operation of the Defense Forces in the Kursk Oblast of the Russian Federation is one direction of the Ukrainian victory plan.

"The Kursk region is part of our plan for Ukraine's victory. Perhaps it may seem too ambitious to some, but for us it is an important plan." Zelensky stressed that the following steps should focus on securing Ukraine's strategic position within the infrastructure established to ensure global security, along with implementing a set of measures aimed at compelling Russia to end the war through diplomatic channels.

The final direction of the plan, according to Zelensky, is the economy. He also stated that the plan is ready.
