There was a report by General Apostol, Commander of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thank you, Oleh, for the considerable strength of the Air Assault Forces. I am proud of every warrior," he said.
Zelenskyy also spoke with commanders in the Zaporizhzhia sector.
"There will be more of the necessary equipment. This concerns UGVs – decisions are needed to increase both production and procurement. There will also be decisions on a more systematic approach to medium-range strikes. The Minister, the Commander-in-Chief and I agreed on the necessary personnel decisions. This is important," he added.
