President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, speaking about work to increase the effectiveness of drone usage and the need to increase information about the front for society.

"I wish health, dear Ukrainians!

A brief report for today.

Morning — selector. Military — briefing on the situation at the front. Internal situation — security, police report, liquidation of consequences of Russian shelling in Kherson. Heavy shelling. We will respond to the enemy. GUR report — plans of the occupiers, our countermeasures. SBU report — trends for the near future, important operations we are preparing. Separate discussion about drones — what is on stock and what is needed at the front. Logistics will be faster. We are also working to increase the effectiveness of drone usage, especially FPV, across all fronts. This is an obvious priority for the state and a very specific way to save the lives of our soldiers.

During the day — many meetings. Prime Minister. Defense Minister. A very important issue regarding communication about the war, our defense, generally the front. Journalists' access to the front. Changes are prepared — there should be more information about the front. Thankful to everyone who understands the importance of this and helps keep our defense needs in focus around the world. Also held a meeting with the Minister of Strategic Industries. He coordinates work of the entire team dealing with shelter systems, their readiness. Good results for December.

Now — just now — also had an international conversation. Spoke with New Zealand's Prime Minister. For us in Ukraine, our international position is absolutely important every voice in the world, absolutely everyone who values international law and is ready to defend it. I thanked New Zealand for its consistent support of Ukraine, for supporting sanctions against Russia, for work on advancing the Peace Formula. By the way, we are now actively working on organizing the next meeting in the format of ambassadors. Step by step, we are making our Peace Formula a formula of global majority. Thankful to everyone who helps.

And, as always every day — gratitude to our soldiers. To all who fight for our country. To all who train. To all who heal and save lives. To all who produce necessary weapons. And to all who work so that Ukraine can stand firm, so that our soldiers have what they need to defend our state and independence. We will definitely protect it!

Glory to Ukraine!»
