In the Lyman sector, I held a coordination meeting with corps, brigade, and battalion commanders. There were reports on decisions regarding defense procurement at the brigade level, first and foremost the procurement of pickup trucks. We also discussed strengthening the Unmanned Systems Forces, increasing funding for drones, simplifying procurement, increasing authorized strength, as well as replenishing and training personnel. There is a need for long-range artillery. We coordinated this issue with the military. We also agreed that commanders would prepare proposals on pay for warriors serving on the front line. Separately, we spoke with corps commanders about the situation on the front in the east and south of our country, the development of drone and counter-drone technologies, and new methods of warfare. We also discussed the return of service members who went AWOL, the recruitment of foreigners, and logistics. All issues at the level of military command must be worked through and discussed at a meeting of the Staff. We are working to ensure that our warriors have more capabilities to defend our positions.
