At the same time, Russia is actively increasing its production of drones, using Iranian Shahed designs. Von der Leyen stressed that Moscow is betting on mass industrial production.
“Saturday, in one single night, Russia sent 800 drones to Ukraine. So ingenuity helped to open a door for Ukraine’s defence. But raw industrial might, on the other side may threaten to sweep it closed,” warned the head of the European Commission.

According to von der Leyen, this is why Europe must use its industrial power to support Ukraine. “We can help transform Ukrainian ingenuity into battlefield advantage – and into joint industrialisation,” she said.
