"Of course, we will fight for the logistics of each of our regions; to be honest, we are currently fighting for Odesa. We are strengthening air defense. We will strengthen, to be honest, the command as well. Today, I discussed the issue of replacing the commander of the 'South' Air Command, Karpenko. I think they will find another candidate because we need to react promptly, quickly, no matter how difficult it may be for us," Zelenskyy said.

According to the President, Ukraine currently has a shortage of missiles for some air defense systems, and partners "have started to hold back air defense missiles a bit," which may be related to Russia's intimidation of Western countries.
