Zelenskyy said in a speech to the UK Parliament, "If evil wins, the evolution of war will cross any distance on Earth - the ocean, the desert, the mountain are of no help."
Key points of the speech
-- About three years ago, Russia obtained the "Shahed" drones from the Iranian regime. These drones are used to destroy expensive critical infrastructure.
-- Iran taught Russia how to use these drones and provided production technology, after which Russia improved them.
-- There is clear evidence that the Iranian "Shahed" drones used in the Middle East contain Russian-made components.
-- Due to the cooperation between Russia and Iran, anything happening around Iran is not a distant war for us.
-- We have no right to remain indifferent, even if the ocean - however vast and beautiful - separates us from human suffering and common dangers.
-- Ballistic missiles can strike targets thousands of kilometers away, and drones can do the same.
-- The Russian and Iranian regimes are brothers united by hatred, and therefore they are also brothers in weapons.
-- We hope that regimes built on hatred will never win at anything.
-- Innovations in the security field can be faster and cheaper than traditional defense systems - an iPad with specialized software can allow us to monitor the security situation in real time.
-- This iPad allows us to see the front lines of Ukraine, even every enemy killed, with video evidence; the screen will show each interception in our skies and seas, as well as our long-range strikes against Russia.
-- Currently, 90% of Russia's losses on the front line are caused by Ukrainian drones.
-- With such tools, the public can see everything done to ensure their safety, and it is visible in real time.
-- We have the capability to produce at least 2,000 tested and efficient anti-drone interceptors daily. The output can be higher, depending on investment.
-- We ourselves need about 1,000 interceptors daily, and we can also provide at least 1,000 interceptors to our allies daily.
-- We have the technology to build a radar and acoustic detection network that can respond to the approach of "Shahed" and other drones.
-- We have software that allows radars to function normally even under electronic warfare interference, capable of analyzing enemy frequencies in real time and responding accordingly.
-- If we need to intercept "Shahed" drones in the UAE, we can do it; if we need to intercept them in Europe or the UK, we can do it as well. It's just a matter of technology, investment, and cooperation.
-- We have survived this winter when Russia tried to bring all Ukrainian families to despair, which proves our solution is effective.
-- If Iran were to launch a large-scale attack similar to Russia's on the British military base in Cyprus, we guarantee to provide defense. The entire Europe may soon need this enhanced protection.
-- There are many Russian shadow fleet tankers in European waters, and launching drones from these ships is no longer an unexpected event.
-- We have unmanned boats that can shoot down Russian aircraft from the sea.
-- We have unmanned boats that can strike land targets from the sea.
-- We are developing more durable, longer-lasting, and more efficient unmanned boats for operations at sea.
-- In the near future, we will have systems that can operate in the open ocean, and we are actively developing underwater unmanned systems.
-- Unmanned boats can accomplish tasks that sometimes even fleets struggle with, especially in complex situations like the Strait of Hormuz.
