Together with NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov and Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, we discussed the negotiation track – specifically, the implementation of the agreements reached during the meetings with the Russian side in Istanbul, as well as preparations for a new meeting. Among the key issues is the continuation of POW exchanges. There is an agreement to exchange 1,200 people, and work on the lists is ongoing. The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council reported on communication with the Russian representative. We are also working to unblock the return of our civilians and are verifying data on each individual. Andriy Yermak reported on coordination with key partners supporting our diplomatic efforts – in particular, contacts with the American side – and on efforts to secure the return of children who were abducted and taken to Russia. Together with Rustem Umerov, we discussed the upcoming meetings of the Staff and the topics of the reports to be presented at the Staff meetings. In particular, the agenda will include the preparation of the energy sector and all our critical infrastructure for the heating season, as well as the development of Ukraine’s air defense and our long-range strikes on Russian logistics. The audit of the implementation of NSDC and the Staff decisions is ongoing. Unfortunately, some of the decisions have not been implemented. This will be promptly rectified.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
