Ukraine's president holds war cabinet meeting, praises offensive brigades

He said this in his evening video address, according to Ukrinform.

"I have just held a meeting of the military cabinet. This is our special format of working in a narrow circle with those responsible for the defense of the state. There were commanders of key frontline areas. Also the Commander-in-Chief, the General Staff, intelligence, security. A truly meaningful work," Zelensky said.

According to him, the excellent work of the defense, offensive and Air Force brigades was noted at the meeting.

"First of all, the defense brigades did a good job, they fulfilled the main strategic tasks, but now is not the time to give details. Secondly, the offensive brigades are doing a good job, we are preparing, no details. Thirdly, on the protection of civilians, the Air Force is doing a great job, here with details," Zelensky said.

He noted that Ukraine's priorities for this and next week and for the near future are additional air defense systems, additional missiles, training and aircraft, and long-range weapons. "And this will be fulfilled," he said.
