President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

The long-range sanctions plan is being implemented, and there are more and more of our mid-range strikes as well. In fact, we have succeeded in blocking off Russia’s south, and we are expanding this strategic operation – quite rightly, in response to Russian strikes on our ports and our cities.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on individuals and companies involved in the illegal export of Ukrainian grain, as well as on vessels used for this purpose.

The meeting identified the main shortfalls and additional needs for developing the most innovative and technologically advanced types of weapons, accelerating the production of strike capabilities and new types of defensive weapons, including jet-powered interceptors. The intelligence agencies provided updated information on Russia’s plans. Ukraine is preparing its response and asymmetric countermeasures.

The Head of State emphasized that the implementation of the Tysiachovesna initiative, designed to foster the creation of new, high-quality Ukrainian cultural products, is a great result and a success for Ukraine. According to the President, out of more than 3,000 creative applications, 1,227 projects made it to the final and are already bringing people and teams together.

This is indeed a landmark day, one we have been moving toward throughout this year, ever since we decided that we needed to launch this initiative and make it real. The idea was to create the largest permanent program for culture in history.

In Ivano-Frankivsk, at a meeting of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with representatives of all mountain territorial communities in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Chernivtsi, and Zakarpattia regions to discuss issues requiring prompt solutions.

Among them are warriors, veterans, and people with disabilities. They are competing in eight sports: table tennis, archery, darts, basketball shooting, exercises on a rowing machine, kettlebell snatch and jerk, static weight holding, and barbell press.

At the city’s Memorial Square, the Head of State placed memorial candles at the stele honoring fallen Ukrainian warriors and observed a minute of silence in memory of Ukraine’s fallen defenders.

The International Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has announced the opening of two new categories of claims: B4 “Humanitarian Public Expenditures to Support the Affected Population” and B5 “Demining and Clearance of Unexploded Ordnance.”
