We appeal to our partners to speed up arms supplies, there are no vacations in war – Zelenskyy

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening address that it was necessary to speed up the supply of weapons and ammunition from Ukraine’s partners, which, in particular, requires timely logistics of the announced packages.

Quote: "I just received a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi regarding the situation in the east of Ukraine, the operation in Kursk Oblast, the ‘exchange fund’, and the provision of our brigades – our reserves – with ammunition and weapons. Our guys are doing great on all fronts. 

However, there is a need for faster delivery of supplies from our partners. We strongly ask for this. There are no vacations in war. Decisions are needed, as is timely logistics for the announced aid packages. I especially address this to the United States, the United Kingdom, and France."

Details: Zelenskyy also noted that good results have been achieved on 18 August, the results Ukraine needs in the destruction of Russian equipment near Toretsk. However, the president said, Russian forces have carried out dozens of attacks near Toretsk and Pokrovsk in just one day.

"In just one day, there have been dozens of attacks, but our units, our brigades, are doing everything to hold the positions. I thank everyone who is making this possible," Zelenskyy said.

He said that the main task of Ukraine's defence actions in general is to destroy as much of Russia's potential as possible and to carry out maximum counter-attack operations. "This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor's territory – our operation in Kursk Oblast," Zelenskyy stressed.
