The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umyerov, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, had a telephone conversation with the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
During the conversation, General Syrskyi informed Lloyd Austin about the current situation on the front line.
In particular, the parties discussed the situation and an action plan.
‘The focus was also on the supply of ammunition. We are working on the urgent needs of the Armed Forces and long-term planning,’ Umerov wrote.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
