Ukrainian President Zelenskyy revealed that at least 31,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since Russia's invasion two years ago, emphasizing the urgent need for weapons and ammunition to defend against Russian forces. With concerns about delayed military aid and a $61 billion aid package held up by congressional Republicans, Ukraine is working to develop its own weapons industry and seeking support from NATO members and European leaders. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov highlighted the deadly consequences of delayed aid, while Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin discussed Ukraine's progress in developing weapons and drones despite limited funding.
