KIEV – President Volodymyr Zelensky said everything is being done in Ukraine to increase the ability to defend against Russian strikes. Air defense systems and other weapons to protect the sky are already in Ukraine, they are really powerful.
President Volodymyr Zelensky made the remarks in his address to the nation late on Wednesday, Ukrinform reported, referring to the president’s website.
“Today I was in Volyn, visited our border guards, on the border, in particular, with Belarus. Arrangement of the border, defense, development of the border area – many issues. Volyn shows true strength, and this is felt in the way the region strengthens the security of the entire state,” he said.
“We are also preparing new units – units of border guards in particular – that will join our active actions, the movement that we are gradually building up,” he said.
“We constantly work on the development of our regions – absolutely all of them. Today in Volyn, I held a broad meeting with the region’s leaders, local law enforcers, military personnel, and all those responsible for the security and social condition of the region. We agreed on several infrastructure projects that will strengthen Volyn – this is important – and will make it possible to guarantee long-term jobs and economic growth. I am sure that we will definitely implement all this. Very soon,” he added.
“We continue to prepare our international steps not only for this week, but in general for the near future. The defense of Ukraine, the rules-based international order remain the number one issue on the global agenda,” he said.
“By the way, I am grateful to the United States for another package of military support announced today,” he added.
