President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with members of the newly reshuffled Cabinet of Ministers to discuss Ukraine's defense, economic, and diplomatic challenges and tasks for August and the months ahead.
According to Ukrinform, Zelensky announced this on Telegram.
"We discussed the defense, economic, and diplomatic challenges and objectives facing Ukraine in August and the months ahead. Russia is currently carrying out several deliberate terrorist operations against Ukraine and our infrastructure. We are also facing challenges in the energy sector, the fuel market, agriculture, and our grain export capabilities. Protecting our skies requires more practical ideas and faster progress on the projects already underway," Zelensky said.
The President emphasized the importance of ensuring that "partners clearly understand where their responsibility lies and how they can support us – support the protection of lives in Ukraine and our resilience. Missiles for the Patriot systems are the top priority, and our agreements must be implemented promptly. I expect swift diplomatic work from Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and everyone involved in relevant communications."
Zelensky also thanked "neighboring EU countries that are ready to expand cross-border cooperation so that we can better protect our country and our economy from Russian aggression."
