First, the report from Mykhailo Drapatyi, Ihor Skybiuk, and Yevhenii Khmara on the situation at the front and key supply needs. The greatest attention right now is, of course, paid to Kostiantynivka and Slovyansk. Mykhailo briefed on the numbers and capabilities of the units deployed in this sector, the key objectives, and the tasks being carried out.

I held a meeting with our military, the Ministry of Defense, and the teams of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Office.

The greatest attention right now is, of course, paid to Kostiantynivka and Slovyansk. Mykhailo briefed on the numbers and capabilities of the units deployed in this sector, the key objectives, and the tasks being carried out. Yevhenii Khmara outlined the drone and funding needs that must be met immediately. We determined which of our active measures will be implemented in the Donetsk region and in several other sectors of the front. I am grateful to all units for their resilience. We also discussed personnel matters in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Second, we determined the sequence of additional steps to protect infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. Unfortunately, supplies of anti-ballistic capabilities from partners have decreased significantly this year. The number of air defense missiles supplied has dropped threefold compared with 2025. And this concerns not only this summer period, but every period of the first half of 2026. Our partners do have the missiles. It is important that the necessary political decisions on supplies and the acceleration of production processes are ultimately made – including decisions on localization in Ukraine. This is something that can tangibly support not only our country, but also to the global protection of life.

Today, there was also a report from Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi. Together with representatives of Ukrainian businesses, the Prime Minister will propose measures to support business and logistics in Ukraine.

Third, we discussed in detail with the military, intelligence, and special services our priorities for August regarding long-range sanctions against Russia for this war. Operations targeting Russian oil facilities and refining are ongoing. The cost to the aggressor of prolonging the war will continue to rise. It is important that our partners’ sanctions against Russia reinforce the impact of our long-range capabilities. We will discuss this with key countries. There are additional measures worth implementing in sanctions policy. Thank you to everyone who is helping!
