President Vladimir Zelensky noted that he has a working relationship with Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny and plans to “work with him.”

Direct speech: “I have a working relationship with Zaluzhny. He must be responsible for the results on the battlefield as commander-in-chief, together with the General Staff. There are many questions there. And also the commander (OSUV) of Tavria, who was in charge of operational command… The offensive is complex question: something was, something was not, something is missing… We need strong steps and results… every day at every position.
I plan to work, I expect decisions from them (on mobilization, assistance at the front, very specific things on the battlefield). The strategy is clear, I want to see the details. I think this is fair.”
