President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced upcoming personnel changes in Ukraine's diplomatic corps aimed at improving cooperation with international partners and accelerating the implementation of defense agreements.

According to Ukrinform, the President made the announcement in his evening address.

"I am preparing changes across our diplomatic efforts. We need a new quality of engagement with Ukraine’s partners to ensure the implementation of our agreements on weapons supplies. The agreements reached at the leaders’ level must be implemented much faster and in full. The U.S. and our agreement on licenses for the production of Patriots. Europe and our work to develop Europe’s own anti-ballistic capabilities, as well as other projects focused specifically on defensive cooperation. Also, the support packages for Ukraine that have been announced but, as of today, have not yet been delivered in full," Zelensky said.

The President also noted that Russia had continued its attacks across Ukraine.

"Today, Russians launched a ballistic missile strike against Ukraine, with Kyiv as the primary target. There was also a terrible Russian aerial bomb attack on Sumy and a missile strike on the city of Odesa. My condolences to the families and loved ones of everyone who was killed. Throughout the day, ‘shaheds’ and other attack drones continued to strike the Kharkiv region, our Dnipro region, communities in the Sumy region, Donetsk region, Kherson region, and Zaporizhzhia," he said.
