"On energy: there are clear deadlines and requirements for each facility, for physical protection and for air cover. We need an absolutely clear approach to the implementation of all necessary measures. Responsibility for this is exclusively personal - both for the construction of protection and for the operation of air defense," the president noted.
The head of state also said that today he heard Syrsky's report on the situation at the front, primarily on the Donetsk directions. Zelensky thanked the units "that ensure the full implementation of tasks and really steadfastly repel Russian assaults and restore our positions." In addition, the president mentioned the Pokrovskoe and Kurakhovskoe directions - "it is there that the Russian army should lose as much combat capability as possible."
"Separately, the commander-in-chief reported on the defense in the Kharkiv region and our active actions on the territory of Russia, in the Kursk region.
