Zelensky tasks government and parliament with covering all defense funding needs

The head of state said this in his evening address , according to Ukrinform. "Today, I held a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ukraine and our diplomatic team to discuss our key priorities in working with partners over the coming weeks – in response to this situation. The Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office, our military, and our negotiating team have a clear task – to meet Ukraine's current defense funding needs. Everything we can do together with our partners, using their funding – and this applies first and foremost to defense orders – must be 100% complete by the end of the year. So full funding is needed. And it must be secured," Zelensky said.
