President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has met with Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksandr Lytvynenko.

"Today I spoke with the Minister of Finance of Ukraine and with the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council regarding funds for key state needs, for defense. We must provide everything that Ukraine needs," he said in an evening video message on Wednesday.

The head of state also said that on Wednesday there was a lot of work with the foreign affairs team as Ukraine is preparing meetings and negotiations with partners.

"The priority is not only to implement everything that we have already agreed on and that is still hindered at the logistics stage, but also more strategic things. We have clear tasks to complete the brigades – equipment, training," he said.

However, according to Zelenskyy, all the promises on air defense announced during the summit in Washington have not yet been fully implemented.

"And it is important – exactly now, in the early fall, to have more results for the air shield," he said.
