I met with the servicemembers of the 11th and 19th Army Corps: the commanders and all brigade commanders of both corps. The defenders reported on the operational situation across the directions, the defense of Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, and Kostyantynivka. We discussed the steps necessary to protect the Slovyansk–Kramatorsk agglomeration. We also addressed the brigades’ needs: funding for drones, transport, artillery, and personnel replenishment. All these issues will be worked through at the appropriate levels. I honored the warriors defending Ukraine within the units of the 11th and 19th Army Corps with state awards. I thank the fighters for their service, their strength, and their protection of our people.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
