President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the new government led by Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi will focus primarily on preparing Ukraine for the coming winter and accelerating the implementation of agreements with international partners.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky made the remarks in his evening video address.

"Today, Ukraine’s new Government, headed by Sergii Koretskyi, began its work. His strength lies specifically in his work at state-owned energy companies. He came to Ukrnafta and changed the company’s processes after oligarchic control. Thanks to Sergii, Ukrnafta began truly working for our state. Naftogaz made it through a difficult winter, and despite all the Russian strikes, Ukraine remained supplied with gas," Zelensky said.

The President stressed the importance of ensuring the country is fully prepared for the coming winter.

At the same time, he said Ukraine is investing as much as possible in developing its long-range strike capabilities and other means of attack to make it as difficult as possible for Russia to intensify its offensive and prolong the war.
