"I have just held a meeting of the Military Cabinet. This is our special format of working in a narrow circle with those responsible for the defense of the state. There were the commanders of key frontline areas, the Chief of Defense, the General Staff, intelligence, and security. It was very meaningful work.
First of all, the defense brigades are great. They have fulfilled the main strategic tasks - now is not the time to share details. Secondly, the offensive brigades are well done. We are preparing - without details. Third, on the protection of civilians: The air force is doing well - here are the details. Our priorities for this week, next week and in the near future are additional air defense systems, additional missiles, training and aircraft, long-range weapons. And this will happen.
Today I also held a thorough meeting with our international team - the Office team. We have a task: to maintain the momentum of international support and communication for Ukraine, which was achieved in the first half of May, in these weeks as well. I am confident that we will accomplish this task.
Today, many Ukrainians wore embroidered shirts. This is important: to remember the richness that unites us all. Ukraine is diverse, and that is our strength. This was evident throughout the day in the various embroidery patterns. But now I ask you all to remember those Ukrainians who are literally our strength and our defense. Many of our people were not wearing embroidered shirts because they were in military uniforms.
I ask you now to remember everyone who is fighting for Ukraine. All those who are on combat missions and combat posts for the sake of Ukraine. All those who train our soldiers for the sake of Ukraine. Those whom you know personally, those whom you have heard about, and thousands and thousands of others who are equally protecting the life of Ukraine. Please remember them now and thank them.
We also do not forget for a moment about those of our people who are held captive by the occupier. About captured Ukrainians, about those repressed in the occupied territories. About those who are in the occupied cities and communities and are waiting for the return of our flag and our state.
We must liberate all our people and all our land from Russian captivity. We are acting together, in unity, taking care of each other and the state, and we will not stop until victory," Zelensky said.
