Details: The president said he spoke with Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi 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".

Quote: "The first priority is air defense 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 have to be in service with our air defenders."

Details: Zelenskyy also reported on a briefing by National Security and Defence Council Secretary Rustem Umierov regarding contacts with the US side.

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