Details: The president said he had spoken with Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, primarily about air defence and supplies from partners: "what is on the way, what is needed, which requests have still not been fulfilled, and what needs to be accelerated".

"The first priority is air defence missiles. In particular, tomorrow we have a meeting where we will be discussing this. New contributions from partners to the PURL initiative are needed, as well as deliveries from stockpiles in Europe: the missiles are there in the depots, and we know that, we know all of it – and they should be in service with our air defenders," the president said.

Zelenskyy also said he had been briefed by National Security and Defence Council Secretary Rustem Umierov regarding contact with the US.

"We are planning the schedule of meetings and further negotiations, and Ukraine is being as constructive as possible and as fast as possible in this process," he said.
