Aiming for 03:24, following the precedent stated earlier.

Russia manufactures nearly sixty percent of its weapons, according to Selensky.

In the Korabel district of Cherson, the war's devastation is palpable. The deputy mayor of Cherson has confirmed that not a single undamaged high-rise remains in the area, with hundreds of buildings damaged or destroyed in addition to the 54 high-rises.

The cityscape of Cherson serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict, as President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasizes the need for further development of Ukraine's air defense. This focus is particularly important in the face of Russian 'Shahed' combat drones and missiles, which pose a significant threat to Ukraine's security.

Germany is a key partner in Ukraine's air defense efforts, with Rheinmetall delivering the Skyranger 35 system this year. This advanced system, designed to protect against drones and various aerial threats using sophisticated radar and programmable ammunition, is in the final stages of implementation, with contracts worth several hundred million euros already secured. Germany is also supplying two Patriot systems from its active air force stockpile to Ukraine.

President Zelensky has stated that these weapons have advanced features, but has provided no new information about the status of Ukraine's efforts to produce its own air defense systems. Ukraine is, however, making strides in self-reliance, with nearly 60% of the weapons used by the Ukrainian military now from domestic production, surpassing a goal set two months ago of more than 50%.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has allegedly expressed interest in meeting Zelensky on neutral ground, according to Slovak President Robert Fico. This comes as a surprise, as Putin has so far avoided a meeting with Zelensky. However, no new information about political talks on a ceasefire or meetings between the two leaders has been provided.

The Kremlin continues to pressure Ukraine to surrender, but the Ukrainian military, bolstered by international support, is holding its ground. Polish and allied aircraft are operating in Ukrainian airspace, and ground-based air defense and radar surveillance systems are on high alert due to the constant threat of Russian air attacks.

As the conflict continues, the international community remains vigilant, with no new information about the deployment of Western protection troops or air alerts in Ukraine. Anton Hofreiter, chairman of the European Affairs Committee in the Bundestag, believes that the debate on the possible deployment of Western protection troops to Ukraine is misguided.

Despite the challenges, President Zelensky remains committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and self-reliance, working tirelessly to protect his nation and its people from the ongoing Russian aggression.
