Zelenskyy urges full support for EW manufacturers and mobile firing groups expansion, Staff meeting details

According to the president, today at the Staff meeting, he listened to reports on the situation at the front from new military commanders. A separate report was made regarding actions in the south, particularly in the Kherson region.

"There was a detailed report on the protection of critical infrastructure – energy, heating and water supply facilities. Everything that is a constant target for Russian missiles and drones. To add more protection, we are providing greater force and capabilities to our mobile firing groups. We will increase the number of such groups. They are one of the pillars of our defense against Russian terror, and I am grateful to all those who serve in the mobile firing groups, train them and provide assistance," says Zelenskyy.

Additionally, the president listened to a report on supplying all units: ammunition, drones, and electronic warfare.

"Everyone in Ukraine who can produce effective electronic warfare systems deserves full state support at all levels: at the central level – from the government – and in every region with such potential. I am grateful to all representatives of local authorities and to every Ukrainian entrepreneur, to all Ukrainian developers of electronic warfare systems," the president says.
