Details: Zelenskyy reported that his team was already creating a work schedule for August.

Quote: "We already have a clear work schedule and pre-arranged meetings, including those with leaders, for the new political season in the world. Ukraine will get everything it needs to withstand and achieve its goals. Today, there were several reports that contributed to a clearer understanding of both tasks and needs. There was a report by the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Oleh Ivashchenko, on what to expect in the near future and what opportunities Ukraine should definitely seize.

We also talked in detail with the Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Rustem Umierov, about ensuring our military tasks for this month. We are preparing some news. I also spoke today with Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi, and there was a report on the frontline situation and our defensive actions."

Details: Zelenskyy called the visit of Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, to China "a clear signal that China supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty" and noted that during this trip it was confirmed that China would not supply Russia with weapons.

Zelenskyy added that he had talked to the participants of the 2024 Olympics.

Quote: "This is already an achievement for Ukrainians – that in the midst of such a war and full-scale Russian terror, we have prepared, and we are still participating in the Olympics. Our flag and the Ukrainian anthem will be in France on par with all nations that respect life and the principles of Olympism. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine preserve as many elements of normal life as possible, no matter what. I thank everyone who protected the principles of Olympism from distortion and prevented flags and the participation of a terrorist state in the Olympics."
