The announcement came as Zelenskyy held a meeting with the country’s military leadership to review the situation on the frontlines and in border areas, the formation of reserves, and ongoing work with international partners on security guarantees.

“We discussed in detail the key needs of each sector and unit. It is very important that it is our units who define the situation in the border areas of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions,” Zelenskyy said.

 He specifically commended the 225th Assault Regiment, the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade, and Special Operations Forces units for their efforts.

Zelenskyy added that attention is also being given to the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. 

“We discussed the need for additional supplies specifically for these sectors. The Commander-in-Chief reported on the implementation of the Staff’s decisions to provide reserves for the Defense Forces,” he said.
