According to Ukrinform, the head of state announced this on Facebook.
“I chaired the Headquarters meeting. The key issue is the funding needed for Ukraine’s defense and security forces for the fall and winter period. We identified the main shortfalls and additional needs for the development of the most innovative and technologically advanced types of weapons, as well as for accelerating the production of our strike capabilities and new types of defensive weapons, in particular missile interceptors,” Zelensky said.
He noted that intelligence agencies provided updated information on Russia’s plans and assured that Ukraine is preparing countermeasures and asymmetric responses.
