“Today I also held a long meeting on the NATO Summit in Washington, which will take place next week. The summit must be strong – strong for Ukraine and all our partners,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on July 4.
I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
A brief summary of the day.
I held a meeting of the Staff – a long one, and among the key topics in today’s reports were drones and electronic warfare. We discussed production in Ukraine, financing, supply, and usage. All the specifics – starting from the most in-demand items on the front, particularly FPV drones. Of course, we also paid maximum attention to our long-range drones. We listened to the reports by Commander Sukharevskyi, Deputy Prime Minister Fedorov, Minister for Strategic Industries Kamyshin and Commander of the Air Force Oleshchuk, and made very important decisions. Time will reveal these decisions on the frontline.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov reported on the details of his trip to the United States, the negotiations, and most importantly, the implementation of the defense packages that have been announced but have not yet been delivered to Ukraine. We are pushing this logistics forward.
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on the situation in the main directions, with most of the fighting occurring in the Pokrovsk direction, in our Donetsk region. However, we are strengthening every direction now – from Kharkiv to the southern regions. I am grateful to every brigade, every soldier and commander who are truly resilient and accurate. Especially the 35th separate marine brigade, the 44th and 55th separate artillery brigades, the 71st separate jaeger brigade, the 108th separate territorial defense brigade, and the 110th separate mechanized brigade. Thank you all for your results, warriors!
