Status of restoration works

The President of Ukraine held a video conference with regional heads to assess the consequences of the strikes. He emphasised that despite the destruction, energy crews continue to eliminate the aftermath.

«Було, на жаль, ураження 28 підстанцій та інших важливих об’єктів енергетики. Усюди продовжуються відновлювальні роботи та поступово повертають електрику людям», — зазначив глава держави. ("Unfortunately, 28 substations and other important energy facilities were hit. Restoration work is continuing everywhere, and electricity is gradually being restored to people," the head of state noted.)

Preparation for the heating season

During the meeting, Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi reported on the progress of infrastructure preparation for the heating season. Key areas of focus were identified.

Pressure on partners regarding air defence

Zelensky separately drew attention to the situation with air defence. The Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the President’s Office team were tasked with urgently establishing contacts with international partners to strengthen the protection of Ukrainian airspace.

The President stated that some political agreements are not being fulfilled at the working level. He also noted that certain types of vital supplies have been postponed at the level of the US Department of War.

«Є політичні домовленості, які не виконані на робочому рівні. Є також відтермінування окремих типів життєво необхідних поставок на рівні міністерства війни у Сполучених Штатах. Сьогодні ввечері - додаткова нарада за підсумками всіх контактів дня, які мають бути проведені. Розраховую на конкретні результати», — наголосив Володимир Зеленський. ("There are political agreements that have not been fulfilled at the working level. There is also the postponement of certain types of vital supplies at the level of the Department of War in the United States. Tonight – an additional meeting to review the results of all contacts scheduled for today. I expect concrete results," Volodymyr Zelensky emphasised.)
