According to Ukrinform, Zelensky made the announcement in his evening address published on Telegram.

"Today, I spoke with Ukraine’s Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi and Minister of Infrastructure Mykola Kalashnyk. We are preparing an NSDC meeting for the beginning of next week on the implementation of resilience plans in the regions. Unfortunately, a lot still hasn’t been done in the regions. Every region must catch up," Zelensky said.

The President said the discussion also covered challenges facing Ukraine's railway system due to Russian strikes, as well as the ongoing security situation in Odesa amid persistent Russian attacks.

"There are things that need to be done – for now, this is not public – to strengthen our logistics capabilities," he noted.

Zelensky said he had instructed the government to deploy additional resources for protective works in frontline and border communities, including road and infrastructure fortification projects.

"I thank the Prime Minister for taking a very thorough approach to this. We need results," he said.

The President also reported holding meetings with Ukraine's military leadership.

"Today, I had meetings with our military – the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of Defense, and the relevant Deputy Head of the Office of the President. There was also a meeting with the Security Service of Ukraine. It is important that everyone – and I mean everyone – works as a team, moving as swiftly as possible to find what we need in partner countries, to convince them to help us more, and to respond asymmetrically to Russian attacks. There are steps, there are decisions that we agreed on today and that we very much need," Zelensky said.

He added that Ukraine would intensify its long-range strikes to bring the war back to Russian territory and ensure that Russians understand who is responsible for prolonging the conflict.

"And the reason is solely in Moscow. It is important that the world not simply sympathize with us, but help us deal with this for real," the President stressed.

As reported by Ukrinform, Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi instructed regional authorities to submit by the end of the week a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of resilience plans, including completed tasks, identified risks, and areas requiring urgent reinforcement.
