My main task for the Minister of Defense of Ukraine – under these conditions – is to put our defense system, our production and procurement system, and our supply system to the troops on a truly effective footing, so that those defending life in Ukraine have everything they need to repel Russian attacks, hold our positions on the front, carry out our active operations and deliver strikes that Russia will feel in response to its terror – to this war, to these killings, which Putin has effectively turned into a new Russian ideology. We have to uproot this ideology of war. Yevhenii Khmara proved through his service with the Alpha Special Operations Center that he does not speak lightly and knows full well that occupiers are not defeated with empty promises. I expect the Ministry of Defense to expand the operational scope of our deep-strike capabilities, work with Ukrainian weapons manufacturers to provide greater opportunities to defend Ukrainian airspace, and, together with our partners, expand the capabilities of our defensive and offensive operations. There is already good coordination between Khmara and Drapatyi – thank you for that. And ahead of winter, we in Ukraine must be confident – and we will be confident – in our defense, in our positions, as much as possible.
