Restoration of the power grid following Russian attacks
According to him, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi spoke about the work being done in the regions.
"I would like to thank every repair crew and all the energy companies that are fully carrying out their assigned tasks. Work is continuing virtually without interruption, and we are using the equipment reserves we have built up. I am counting on timely and adequate communication from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Energy, and other relevant agencies regarding the replenishment of these reserves," Zelenskyy said.
Weapons supplies from partners
He also noted that Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported on the situation regarding the supply of air defense interceptors to Ukraine, primarily "Patriots."
"We are working on several fronts: with the United States, Europe, and other partners that have stockpiles of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. In particular, we have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for the ‘Patriots’ and ‘Nasams.’ I have instructed officials to discuss this once again with the American side. Discussions are also ongoing with other countries," Zelenskyy added.
Separately, the participants in the conference call discussed preparations for the "Ramstein" meeting in November.
"It is important to speed up the implementation of decisions that have been on the table for some time. Every support package is an opportunity to protect people's lives. I thank everyone who is truly supportive and, in particular, is helping to expedite the delivery of vital supplies," the head of state concluded.
