He said this in his evening address, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Zelensky recalled that on Friday there were meetings with Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi and acting Minister of Defense Yevhen Khmara, who attended with the Defense Ministry team.

"We mapped out in detail the sequence of steps that can provide more protection for our cities, our villages, our south, and our infrastructure. We are updating the plan to protect our grain exports," the President said.

Zelensky assured that he greatly values the active coordination among all heads of the security and defense sector.

"That is exactly what we need. I am grateful to Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara for their attention to detail and for working together. Pavlo Palisa and the team of the Office of the President will continue helping to find and implement solutions. Prime Minister Koretskyi is preparing economic and infrastructure alternatives that can strengthen Ukraine's resilience," he said.

The President said that the Prime Minister and the entire government team will work on maximum diversification of export and import operations.

"The challenges are very significant. We also need asymmetric solutions. Securing fuel supplies for Ukraine's domestic market, creating additional export routes, putting in place the necessary support programs for Ukrainian producers, and working with our partners – our neighbors in the region and Brussels – all of this is already underway," Zelensky said.

He emphasized that the Ukrainian state greatly expects understanding from its partners.

"Air defense is the first priority where partners can help us. Every agreement must be carried out – and carried out promptly. Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all of our diplomats must move faster, and Ukraine's needs must be voiced louder around the world – because these are real needs for protecting lives," the President noted.

Zelensky said it is important that more and more people in key partner countries are learning about what is truly happening in Ukraine, about Russian strikes against Ukrainian people, and about Russia's prolongation of the war.

As reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that together with Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi, acting Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara, and Deputy Head of the Office of the President Pavlo Palisa, he had determined the course of action in response to Russian strikes.
