According to CoinMeta, the CEO of Ukraine's leading arms manufacturing company Fire Point, Iryna Terekh, stated that Kiev has "deeply realized" that military power is a prerequisite for diplomacy in the conflict with Russia. The company has expanded rapidly since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, producing about 200 drones per year and now has over 7,000 employees. It is expected to produce more than 100,000 drones this year. Terekh pointed out that Ukraine's drone operations are changing the course of the war, although analysts question whether drones alone can force Putin to return to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russia's retail giant Wildberries in an attempt to hit its economy.
