"Report by Mykhailo Drapatyi, Ihor Skybyuk, Yevhenii Khmara, and Pavlo Palisa.

Front
"There was a report on the situation at the front, primarily in the areas of Sloviansk and Kostiantynivka. Also on the situation with the export maritime corridor – what has already been done in this direction and what plan of measures will still be implemented," the President noted.
He expressed gratitude to "all the soldiers and units involved in implementing our plan of long-range sanctions against Russia for the war." "Our operation of mid-strikes against Russian forces and positions on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, including in our Crimea, continues. We updated the list of priority targets for mid-strikes," Zelenskyy wrote.
Communication with other countries
"I instructed the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strengthen information sharing and coordination with the military leadership in the countries of our region. The teams of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Office will work with our partners in Europe who can help with the supply of missiles for air defense," the President stated.
Systemic changes from the General Staff regarding the assessment of the situation at the front
"The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is preparing a number of systemic changes that will allow, among other things, to more clearly assess the situation on the front line, respond more quickly to its changes, and provide more opportunities for brigades to effectively respond to Russian assault activity. I thank all units that are truly holding Ukraine's positions and do not allow the occupier's army to achieve the goals set for it by the Russian political leadership. Glory to Ukraine!" Zelenskyy emphasized.
