I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
I have just held quite an extensive meeting with the military, intelligence, the NSDC Secretary, Government officials, and the Office, following a recent meeting with civil society representatives. At that meeting, we discussed the issues that currently limit Ukraine's potential and how they can be resolved. In particular, I have given instructions to establish a format for a Technology Stаff – a special format to increase the modern capabilities of our Defense and Security Forces. The highest priority is, of course, drones. Including those capable of intercepting “Shahed” and other strike UAVs. In general, many purely military issues were discussed.
I also instructed the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, to specifically address the issue of releasing civilians from Russian captivity. So far, the results in this regard are insufficient. We have also worked on some necessary legislative changes, and on sanctions policy, on our diplomacy. I will hear the results in a couple of weeks.
Today, I have also met with the new ambassadors of the partner states. I accepted their letters of credence. Representatives of Finland, Brazil, Ireland, Montenegro, Iceland and Lithuania. I spoke with each of them. We will be grateful for the joint work aimed at supporting our people, international law, and aimed at bringing a just peace closer.
