Blinken visits Ukrainian drones production
Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State, has visited one of the places where Ukrainian drones are manufactured during his visit to Ukraine.
"We've visited one of the drone’s production [sites – ed.]. A historic visit for our team and Ukrainian defence tech manufacturers. The delegation saw how Ukrainian innovations are made — FPV drones as well as strike copters," Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, wrote on Twitter (X).

He also said that the US support for Ukraine is aimed at its strategic success and explicitly stated that Ukraine must win the war.
