We are now eliminating around 30,000 Russian soldiers every month. Just imagine that scale.

In June alone, nearly 28,000 Russian soldiers were eliminated, and we have video confirmation for every single one of them.

The overwhelming majority were struck by drones.

And frankly, we take no pride. No pride. In this, we are seeing it to show what more than war looks like — a war we did not start, but one we are forced to fight.

We have completely eliminated the very idea of Russia having a strategic rear.

And you know this country — for a long time, Russia believed it had a territorial advantage. No one else possessed a deep rear.

It could safely keep military production, military equipment, and everything its war depends on, believing no one could reach them.

And we have reached them. Just yesterday, Ukrainian drones broke through Russia's defenses and struck a Russian oil refinery in Siberia.

And this is not an exception. It's the new reality, and there is no major oil refinery left in Russia that has not been struck by Ukraine.

The one thing we still need to do here in Europe is build a strong defense against Russia's ballistic missiles. This is a big challenge. It's true — this is Russia's last major advantage.

I believe Europe urgently needs its own capability to produce anti-ballistic systems and the missiles they require.

We all value the Patriot system — it is an excellent system, and there are others as well. But today's wars have shown that current Patriot production is not enough to meet the growing demand for protection against ballistic missiles.

That is a fact, and we must respond to that fact.

We have also discussed Patriot production licenses with our American partners, and I ask you to support our efforts to make this happen.

Europe needs its own effective anti-ballistic systems and missiles, and this work is already underway.

I urge all of you and all our partners to give it the attention it deserves.

And this cannot wait until 2030 or beyond. Europe needs affordable, mass-produced anti-ballistic systems as soon as possible.

In fact, today.

Ukraine belongs in NATO.

Because NATO with Ukraine is the alliance for the future.
