Details: Zelenskyy said that he had just held a meeting, the main topic of which was Ukraine’s capabilities for long-range sanctions against Russia. The meeting was attended by weapons manufacturers, as well as everyone responsible for their use.

Quote: “We reviewed the effectiveness of our long-range strikes over a defined period and the results achieved. Russian oil refining is already paying a tangible price for the war – and will pay even more. We set tasks to expand the geography for the use of our long-range capabilities.”

Details: Zelenskyy said that work is currently underway with manufacturers on long-term contracts, as the three-year term “allows manufacturers to better plan the use of necessary resources and scale up supplies to the military”.

Zelenskyy promised that the number of such contracts would increase.

He also said that there were reports at the Staff meeting about Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and energy facilities.

Quote: “We identified new defence needs and tasks for cooperation with partners in order to secure specific air defence supplies. Our partners have the necessary systems, and it is important for Ukrainian diplomacy to be more active in preparing relevant decisions.”

  1. Zelenskyy is not the person to lead Ukraine. He is preparing for THREE more years of war instead of finally stepping down, refusing to hold any elections. Who can support such bullshit?!

  2. He seems to be leading the world at the momment. He has already stated no more terms for himself. His own integrity is “making him” stick by the rules, their constitution, no elections during war. Look at him, aged 12 years in 4. Its killing him, he wants out, but not until victory.

    • Yes, I can imagine how he would love to just exit stage left. Having to deal with mafia land is bad enough, but having to deal with jellyfish, marshmallow, and Gummi Bear friends must be exceptionally exhausting.

      • Zel is greater than any leader; in peace or war, who has emerged in the world since Sir Winston Spencer Churchill.
        He is exceptionally unlucky to have had to deal with a weak US president; Biden, followed by a lying, treacherous criminal with multiple personality disorders.
