Quote: "I expect the Ministry of Defence and our defence and security forces to work in coordination. It is important to conduct an audit of all agreements with our partners. What has been implemented and what is still awaiting implementation. Air defence and anti-ballistic systems are the key priority, especially before winter.

Yevhenii Khmara has extensive experience in our deepstrike operations – going back to his time at the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU). I expect there will be more operations, and I am confident that Yevhenii will continue to be personally involved in this area."
