“The day began with military issues. A report on the front, our needs for weapons and related supplies. A separate conversation with the commander of the Air Force. Today there were many different information, anger and discussions – in translations. I was ordered to clarify everything in society and not reduce the number of specialists, which the Air Force needs to carry out combat missions – our aviation groups, air defense and mobile fire,” Zelensky said.
As is known, according to media reports, Air Force specialists of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have recently been transferred to the Ground Forces to fill combat brigades.
