Today, we received updated intelligence regarding the Russians' preparations for a massive strike. We are preparing a response. We have set deadlines for completing a significant part of the tasks, and the highest-priority ones are already being implemented. Thank you to everyone who is defending our state and our people!
According to him, two more issues were discussed at the meeting.
On air defense and ammunition for F-16s
First: the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Air Force reported on the distribution of air defense assets and the organization of defensive lines to cover designated key facilities. We are providing the necessary ammunition for F-16s, interception equipment, and interceptor missiles. The most difficult issue is anti-ballistic defense, and the availability of these supplies depends exclusively on our partners. We are working with them on a daily basis
