According to the President, there are clear deadlines and requirements for each facility, its physical protection and air cover.
‘We need the same clear approach to the implementation of all necessary measures. The responsibility for this is exclusively personal - both for the construction of defences and for the work of air defence,’ Zelenskyy stressed.Also, according to the President, work is currently underway to equip combat and reserve brigades.
