I didn’t disagree that the cities listed are critical.

I don’t see where this year is any more critical than past years. There is no evidence of that.

But it could be a turning point, but it’s anybody’s guess.

Zelensky: I met with Kyrylo Budanov and offered him the role of Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. At this time, Ukraine needs a stronger focus on security, development of our Defense and Security Forces, and progress on the diplomatic track. The Office will serve these state priorities.

Budanov has specialized experience and the strength to deliver results. I have also instructed him, together with the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and other leaders, to update and submit for approval the strategic foundations of our defense and national development, and outline next steps.

quote:
Zelensky met with Oleh Ivashchenko, Head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, who reported on security threats and efforts to weaken Russia’s economic and military potential. Zelensky said cutting Russia’s oil revenue and sanctions-evasion links will strengthen diplomacy and help end the war. Ivashchenko will now serve in a role within Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence.
