"And we will strike. The more the Russian state loses and the higher the cost of its aggression, the closer we will be to the just end of this war," the president added.

The third meeting was held with representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers, the defense industry complex, and other agencies. It concerned the production of high-tech drones for operations.

"Such weapons exist in Ukraine, but they must become longer-range, more massive, and more powerful. Relevant tasks and deadlines have been set. No Russian act of terrorism should go unanswered," said Zelenskyy.

Frontline situation

During the day, 76 clashes occurred on the front line in Ukraine. The aggressor is trying to storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on two fronts in the Donetsk region.

In particular, according to the Institute for the Study of War, Russian forces advanced west of Avdiivka and towards the Zaporizhzhia region. They are mobilizing tactical and operational reserves to participate in battles in the east, trying to increase the pace of offensive operations.
