President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyy and the new Commander of the Joint Forces, General Andriy Hnatov, arrived in Donetsk Region, as is evident from Zelenskyy’s social media.
"Today I officially introduced Andriy Hnatov to all those responsible for defence in Donetsk Region. We heard reports directly from the positions. I was pleased to personally visit and thank our 110th and 47th Brigades - absolutely heroic and efficient men. I also thanked our combat medics," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram and posted a video.
He noted that he had held a meeting in Donetsk Region on security and support for people - on ensuring life - water, social issues, evacuation, etc.
"And there will be a separate conversation in Kyiv, particularly with officials who must be here and in other areas near the frontline - in difficult communities where people need immediate solutions. Solutions that simply cannot be seen from Kyiv. And I was surprised to learn that some relevant officials had not been here for six months or more. I will draw appropriate conclusions regarding them," Zelenskyy added.
