The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with his military advisers and the Minister of Defense to discuss preparations for new negotiations in the European Union.

According to Zelensky, all issues regarding production and national arms agreements were considered. In addition, discussions with partners about new investments in Ukrainian military technologies are planned during upcoming negotiations.

Strengthening sanctions against Russia

Preparations for new sanctions involving the USA, Europe, and other 'G7' countries are ongoing, as well as the application of Ukrainian sanctions based on the decisions of other countries through the National Security and Defense Council.

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky focused on the development of domestic drone production for strategic needs and the importance of coordinated action with partners to increase sanctions pressure on Russia.
