On October 6, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a selector meeting with government officials, military personnel, and key services to discuss the security situation in the country. He reported that intelligence had provided updated information regarding Russia's preparation for a massive strike against Ukraine.
Operational Measures for Air Defense
Zelensky noted that the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Air Force reported on the distribution of air defense assets and the organization of protective lines for key facilities. Among the main measures are:
- Provision of ammunition for F-16 aircraft;
- Supply of interception systems;
- Provision of anti-missile systems.
However, the President stated that the situation with anti-ballistic systems remains the most challenging, as their supply depends on international partners. The Ukrainian side is actively working on this issue on a daily basis.
