Zelensky holds Staff meeting: issues of national resilience discussed

The President of Ukraine shared this information in his evening address, as reported by Ukrinform.

"I held a Staff meeting where we analyzed support packages and some contracts secured over this time. There are good results on artillery contracts – Ukraine needs a solid foundation. Next – drones, an unwavering priority. Air defense – additional systems have now arrived in Ukraine from Lithuania. Thanks a lot, Mr. President," Zelensky said.

The Head of State also shared the Prime Minister’s report on finances for this year. According to him, "we are securing all necessary funding and will get through 2025 financially."

Moreover, some special issues related to national resilience were discussed — all possible scenarios are being worked out to protect Ukraine.

"The baseline scenario is to hold positions and create conditions for proper diplomacy, for the soonest possible end to this war with a decent peace. We need peace – real, fair peace – not endless war. And we need security guarantees," Zelensky emphasized.

He reminded that it was the lack of security guarantees for Ukraine 11 years ago that allowed Russia to start the occupation of Crimea and the war in Donbas. Then, the absence of security guarantees allowed Russia to launch a full-scale invasion.

"And now, because there are still no defined security guarantees, it is Russia that is keeping this war going. The whole world sees this, the whole world acknowledges this," the President of Ukraine stated.

As reported by Ukrinform, Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Monday that Ukraine is working together with the U.S. and European partners and is greatly counting on U.S. support on the path to peace.
