Domestic production is an unchanged priority. We are preparing agreements to increase our Ukrainian weapons production, primarily drones for our front, to save the lives of our soldiers.
In addition, he reported that he was briefed by Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.
The front, Kursk, our positions, our actions. The brigades are provided with everything necessary. I thank our soldiers: the resilience of the army is the confidence of the entire nation and, of course, it is the confidence of our diplomacy. I especially want to highlight today the 425th separate assault battalion – thank you for your determination, guys. Also – the 225th assault regiment and the 71st separate jaeger brigade for their actions in Donetsk – Novopavlivka direction. And also – our soldiers of the Special Operations Forces for their actions specifically in Kursk region.
