Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, acknowledging the challenges ahead, has outlined the military objectives for Ukraine in 2024, which include increasing domestic weapons production and isolating Crimea. Despite starting the year with optimism, Zelensky admits that the year will be tough for Kyiv, with the growing struggle to keep European and U.S. allies onside, a reality that Russian President Putin is aware of. The Ukrainian offensive has seen significant losses and little progress on the front line. Zelensky's plan, received from the army and Valery Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as discussed with The Economist, involves making Ukraine a significant player in global arms production, specializing in advanced defense technologies and manufacturing key weaponry such as shells, missiles, and drones. In a year-end speech, he promised that the enemy would feel the impact of Ukraine's domestic production in the coming year. Additionally, Zelensky revealed that the main military goal is the isolation of Crimea, aiming to reduce Russian military influence in the region, which could involve targeting the $4 billion Kerch Bridge with Taurus missiles.
