The president announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"I held a meeting on the development of our ballistic capabilities and the implementation status of the Freyja Anti-Ballistic Missile Program. The agencies involved reported on the current needs and the stages completed as of now. We set a schedule and designated those responsible for the elements of the programs that need to be accelerated. The National Security and Defense Council, the Prime Minister of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Brave1 team, and the most technologically advanced teams in Ukraine's defense industry are involved in this effort," Zelensky wrote.

He noted that developing one's own ballistic capabilities and creating a new anti-ballistic system is a task that only a tiny minority of countries worldwide have managed to accomplish.

"Ukraine has this capability. Ukrainians have the necessary scientific foundation and expertise. We can state that our weapons manufacturers have also reached the required level. We expect Ukraine to achieve the necessary results in 2026–2027," he said.

Zelensky said the meeting also focused on key challenges, including access to critical components, additional technological cooperation with international partners, and the localization of production.

"I am also grateful to our partners who are helping and who have themselves joined our main defense programs. Freyja is making progress, and that is important. Europe needs a shared and truly large-scale capability to defend effectively against any ballistic threats. We support and expect more of our partner countries that are capable of contributing to join the Anti-Ballistic Coalition," he said.
