The component of small air defense - specifically countering strike drones - must work much harder and prevent the problems that currently exist - address of the President

It is important that the Minister of Defense deals with this topic, the commander of the Air Force received additional assignments, and there are enough forces within our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, enough experience that can and should be scaled. Everything that really works in one or another direction, at one or another level, should be applied wherever the results are still less. And every day is important. All decisions must be implemented as quickly as possible.

The same approach is used in energy. There are no weeks or months for repairs and equipment supplies. And many, many things are actively accelerating. I want to thank all the repair crews, every employee of those communal services who really help. And I also want to thank the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and all energy companies - a lot of really heroic work. I thank the regional and local authorities - those who are really effective.

And it often happens that priority reports on repairs are inaccurate for several weeks and work can be accelerated. At each selector, this is a significant part of the discussion. Terms, acceleration, search and supply of additional equipment. Everyone in Ukraine is ready to help and really everyone is helping Kyiv - there are many communities, many, state companies - everyone is directing their resources now. The situation in the capital is still very difficult.

More than one thousand one hundred houses without heating. People from such homes should be given more help. And also, in general, it is important to digitize as much as possible everything related to the problems that exist, the existing problems, the existing needs of people, what and how people are helped. The more digitalization is, the less time will be spent on checking reports. A few more things.

I scheduled a meeting with our delegation for tomorrow: the guys are returning to Ukraine today, late in the evening, and tomorrow there will be reports on those sensitive aspects of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, which cannot be discussed over the phone. We are preparing for the next tripartite meetings. Tomorrow we will talk with our European partners. And our parliamentary diplomacy is also currently working in America - the head of the parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk.

We talked with him before the trip about what was needed most. And this concerns the support of our state, our people, and also negotiations. Ruslan already had meetings with Speaker Johnson, with congressmen and with many of our friends - friends of Ukraine in America, there was a Ukrainian prayer breakfast. I want to thank everyone for their support and thank you, Ruslan, for productive parliamentary diplomacy.
