Zelensky launches weekly regional security meetings

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has launched weekly regional meetings with heads of regional administrations, with the first session held on Sunday. The talks focus on security, energy, and priority needs of frontline and border communities. The meeting highlighted the situation in Kherson Oblast, where Zelensky said Russian forces used a humanitarian operation in Oleshky as cover for a large-scale rotation of personnel and equipment. Additional tasks were given to the Armed Forces regarding Sumy Oblast, while energy resilience plans for Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zhytomyr regions were also discussed. Reports covered Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblast, particularly Kramatorsk amid intensified Russian shelling. Zelensky noted tasks for other regions were already developed at the government and presidential office level. The meeting followed a Russian overnight attack involving three guided missiles and 164 drones.
