A survey was started in the Army+Army - five candidates for the post of Head of the National Academy of Land Forces named after Hetman Sagaidachny - Presidential address

There are technological proposals that we need to implement, and I am grateful to all our military, every company, all officials and all volunteers involved in this case - in the constant technologization of the Ukrainian army.   There was a report on robotic systems. Also - regarding artillery, about our own production of artillery, and on our purchases in the world, especially shells.

It is important that Ukraine has good dynamics in artillery production, and our own opportunities to provide the army will only increase. Today, with Alexander Sirsky, Anatoly Bargilevich, Mikhail Dropatim and Pavel Palis, we discussed personnel issues, including the appointment of a new head of the Hetman Sahaidachny National Academy of Land Forces.   This is one of the key institutions of military education in Ukraine, and the Academy is certainly deserving of changes.

What kind of changes will be and who will introduce them, we will solve with our Ukrainian military, with all our warriors who want changes.   For this purpose, a corresponding survey was started in the Army+application - five candidates for the post of head of the Academy, and it is possible to suggest that it is necessary to change in the learning process itself, in relations within the Academy.

It is especially important that the cadets and graduates of the Academy share their experiences and ideas. As of this time, there are 2,000 votes, and this is a few hours from the survey. I thank everyone who participates. Army+Army Application is available to all our warriors. The team of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine thank you for such functionality. He spoke with the President of France today. A long and detailed conversation.

We discussed defense support - various forms, armed packages for Ukraine. We discussed investments in the purchase of shells for Ukraine. Also - the issue of placement of contingents of partners and training of our military. And, of course, a global situation. We coordinate our positions. I thank, France! Thank you, Emmanuel. And one more.   He signed the sanctions documents today. Decree on the introduction of sanctions against the financial sector of Russia. 140 different entities.

We will continue to work with partners to reconcile our pressure. And the second document is a bill on criminal liability for attempting to bypass sanctions, and it is largely a continuation of international practice of attitude towards sanctions. We all understand: the more pressure on the aggressor, the closer the peace. Sanctions are one of the most effective tools for fair pressure on Russia and anyone who is connected with it or works for war.
