Zelenskyy instructed to strengthen interaction with the USA to ensure military support for Ukraine

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he has instructed to enhance cooperation with American partners in light of recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The head of state stated this in his traditional video address on July 8.

“Today, I instructed the Minister of Defence and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strengthen all communications with the United States. We need to quickly implement important political decisions that are critically necessary for our defense,” Zelenskyy said.

The President emphasized that this primarily concerns air defense systems and other key elements of military support from the United States.

“This is the reinforcement on which the preservation of Ukrainian citizens’ lives, as well as the security of our cities and communities, directly depends. I expect concrete results soon. Meetings between representatives of military and political teams are planned for this week,” he added.

On Monday, Zelenskyy also held a meeting with the leadership of the security and defense sector, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, representatives of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defence, and the Security Service of Ukraine.

The President separately expressed gratitude to Ukrainian defenders, military intelligence officers, and the Security Service of Ukraine for successfully striking the enemy, particularly on enemy territory, and effective actions in disrupting the logistics of Russian troops.
