⚡️Zelenskyy came out with a TOUGH DECISION on Russia. Putin did NOT EXPECT this - War & Politics 24
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday said he wanted to increase funding and support for frontline troops after visiting units engaged in the "fiercest fighting". Zelenskyy had joined troops at forward military posts in the Donetsk and Dnipro regions earlier this week.
Zelenskyy said his government must improve its equipment and hardware procurement, while he had also discussed a new framework for military service contracts with commanders. It comes with Russia and Ukraine trading almost daily assaults on each other’s energy infrastructure as U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to stop the nearly four-year war make no impact on the battlefield. - 11/07/2025.
