Quote: "I've held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff. I heard a report on the frontline situation and detailed reports from both our intelligence agencies – Foreign Intelligence Service and Defence Intelligence – on the intentions of the Russian invaders and the situation in their ranks. Intelligence officers have noted a noticeable deterioration in discipline in Russian units."

Details: The second issue discussed was the readiness of engineering protection for critical infrastructure. The president emphasised the need to complete all necessary work as swiftly as possible.

The meeting also tackled the issue of military training. Zelenskyy instructed the General Staff to provide a list of measures to improve the work of combat training centres.

In addition, at the meeting, the president noted that some countries that supply components for drones are imposing export restrictions. However, he said Ukraine has a strategy to prevent these restrictions from critically impacting its defence capabilities.
