Warriors of the 128th Zakarpattia Separate Mountain Assault Brigade are defending the Stepnohirsk area in the Zaporizhzhia region. Today, I met with the defenders, spoke with them, and presented state awards. Thank you for protecting the state, our territorial integrity, and for supporting one another. We addressed many important issues with the military. Primarily, the focus was on combat activities in the sector, the recent increase in assault actions by the occupiers, including enemy attempts to bypass our fortifications by taking advantage of the local terrain. We also had a separate discussion on the implementation of drone procurement programs through the brigades’ own funding and through electronic points under the Army of Drones: Bonus program, as well as the specifics of employing Vampire drones. We will definitely work through all the issues raised during the conversation and find solutions for each of them.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
