Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he held a staff meeting today, noting that the situation along the front line was reviewed in detail across all sectors.

Assessing the activities of the Ukrainian army on the ground, Zelenskyy said that in recent weeks the intensity of Russian attacks has increased, and accordingly Russian losses have also risen. He stated: “If the Russians do not approach the negotiation process with 100 percent seriousness and instead direct their resources toward prolonging and expanding the war, we will respond in a rational manner.”

It was reported that briefings on deep strikes were provided during the meeting, and that the Chief of the General Staff presented a report on the needs and supply situation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

The state of air defense was also discussed in detail. Zelenskyy said that air defense coverage of the front line and regions was evaluated, with particular attention given to the Odesa region. He noted that several candidates were presented for the Air Command “South,” adding that the decision-making phase has begun.
