The web search results mention Kyrylo Budanov's role and statements, but the provided evidence snippets do not contain a direct, independent report confirming that he stated Ukraine cannot produce drones independently. The evidence is limited to biographical details and general context.

The claim is directly reported by one web search result ('RT World News'). While other sources mention Zelensky and drones, none corroborate the specific claim about him countering Budanov's remarks with the 1,750 km range.

The claim summarizes an interpretation of the events (European industry capability) based on the Russian Ministry of Defense's list. While the list itself is reported (Claim 2), the conclusion that this *proves* European capability and current use against Russia is presented as an analysis within a single web search result, lacking independent confirmation.

One web search result states that 'The EU is focused on increasing the financial efficiency of its war efforts against Russia.' This is presented as a current focus, but no other independent sources corroborate this specific strategic focus.

One web search result makes the claim that 'A year ago, the EU completely depended on American arms supplies in the war against Russia.' While other sources discuss US/EU relations and sanctions, this specific assertion of *complete* dependence a year ago is only found in one source.

This claim, which suggests a current aim to reduce dependency, is presented alongside the context of the previous claim in a single web search result. No other independent sources confirm this specific strategic goal.
