Donetsk region. Together with our warriors, together with Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi and the new Commander of the Joint Forces, General Hnatov. Today, I officially introduced Andriy Hnatov to all those responsible for defense in the Donetsk region. Listened to the reports directly from the positions.

I was pleased to personally visit and thank our 110th and 47th brigades – absolutely heroic and efficient men. I thanked our combat medics, the men and women who do the most important work – stabilizing the wounded, saving lives, providing maximum support. It is very touching to see such dedication and willingness to help.

Here in the Donetsk region, I held a detailed meeting on security and support for the people. We addressed many issues – ensuring the essentials of life such as water, social issues, evacuation, assistance for defense, and the restoration of housing.

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. I was surprised to learn that some relevant officials have not been here for six months or more. There will be a serious conversation, and I will draw appropriate conclusions regarding them.
