The head of state announced this in an evening video message.
As soon as he held a meeting of the military cabinet. This is our special format of working in a narrow circle with those who are responsible for the defense of the state. There were commanders of the key directions of the front. Also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, General Staff, intelligence, security. Very meaningful work. First: the defense brigades did a great job, they completed the main strategic tasks, now is not the time to give details. Second: the offensive brigades – well done, we are getting ready, without details. Third: on the protection of civilians – the Air Force – well done, here with the details, – the president pointed out.
He added that Ukraine’s priorities “for this week, next and for the near future” in general are additional air defense systems, additional missiles, exercises and aircraft, long-range weapons.
Recall that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg refuted the speculations of Russian propagandists that the upcoming counter-offensive against the Russian invaders could be Ukraine’s “last chance”, since allegedly Kiev can count on further assistance from the West only if it succeeds on the battlefield.
