Video: Zelenskyy Instructs Officials to Prepare New Proposals on Compensation for Frontline Service
Commanders of military units are to prepare proposals regarding compensation for service members carrying out missions on the front lines.
“It was also agreed that commanders would prepare proposals regarding compensation for soldiers serving on the front lines,” Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday.
According to him, during a coordination meeting with corps, brigade, and battalion commanders in the Lyman sector, they also discussed decisions regarding defense procurement—including pickup trucks at the brigade level, strengthening the Unmanned Systems Forces, increasing funding for drones, streamlining procurement, expanding personnel, and recruiting and training personnel.
“We also spoke separately with corps commanders about the situation on the front lines in the east and south of our country, the development of drone and anti-drone technologies, and new methods of warfare. We also discussed the return of troops from the Northern Military District, the recruitment of foreign nationals, and logistics,” he said.
Furthermore, according to Zelenskyy, the need for long-range artillery was agreed upon with military officials. All issues at the military command level must be reviewed and discussed at a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Headquarters.
Zelenskyy discussed with the Norwegian Prime Minister the strengthening of air defense and the provision of F-16s to Ukraine.
As a reminder, Fico does not want Slovakia to be drawn into the war under NATO Article 5.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated during a speech in Prešov that Europe is on the brink of a broader military conflict. According to him, tensions surrounding the war in Ukraine have reached an unprecedented level.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that the country is not a member of the “Coalition of the Willing” supporting Ukraine and demanded that France publicly refute reports of Bratislava’s alleged membership in this coalition.
