Quote: "In the morning, we had a conference call. Military, intelligence, government officials. The conversation was accompanied by the sounds of air defence in Kyiv Oblast. I heard the reports of commanders, ministers.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reported about the situation in the regions, how we deal with the aftermath of Russian strikes, on the work of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. I am thankful to all Ukrainian rescue workers!

The Ministry of Strategic Industries reported on the production of munitions and equipment in Ukraine. We are increasing the volume of production. Constantly increasing.

The Security Service of Ukraine is doing a good job against collaborators. Thank you, guys!

In the afternoon, I held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on military commissars. There will be another meeting on the military medical commissions."

Details: Zelenskyy remarked that the representatives of the Office of the President of Ukraine cooperated with the ambassadors of Ukraine’s partner states in order to involve these countries in the Ukrainian peace formula.

Quote: "We had a separate meeting with Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov, Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny, Navy Commander Neizhpapa, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Maliuk, and the Ministry of Infrastructure to discuss alternatives to exporting grain through the transit corridor. We are doing everything possible to ensure that Ukraine remains a guarantor of food security and that our people have access to global markets.

And, of course, the frontline. Every front, all key efforts [have been discussed – ed.]. Daily attention. Daily support. Daily reinforcement."
