Zelenskiy visits hospitals and talks strategy in Dnipro

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited Dnipro in southeastern Ukraine on Thursday (July 27) to discuss the situation on the battlefield, supplies for troops and how to strengthen air defences. “We started the working day in Dnipro,“ Zelenskiy said on the Telegram messaging app under video footage of him leading a meeting with military commanders and government officials. “As always, we pay close attention to the supply of ammunition to our troops. The efficiency of using the existing air defence systems and reinforcing the sky shield, taking into account supplies from partners,“ he said. The Dnipropetrovsk region, an important economic centre in southeastern Ukraine, is not far from the front line and borders Kherson in the south, Donetsk region in the east, and further north Kharkiv region. Dnipro city, capital of the region, had a pre-war population of about 1 million people, and has become a logistical and humanitarian hub for Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion on Feb 24, 2022.
