President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters on Wednesday regarding the situation in the main operational and tactical directions at the frontline.

"I held a meeting of the Staff. Operational level – the situation at the front now. Reports from the commanders. Different directions. East. South. North as well – countering subversive groups, fortifying the border," he said in an evening video address.

According to Zelenskyy, "there was a strategic level of discussion: our actions this year. And not just defense."

"Ukraine needs an ambitious, active perspective. We want our country to retain the initiative, not the enemy. We want the end of the war to depend on Ukrainian actions," the president said.

"The world supports those who have a perspective. And this is a fundamental task – to retain the initiative so that we can become stronger," he said.
