National resistance and territorial protection are organised under the care and direct leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. All, especially individual field leaders, should understand clearly that there are things that should be implemented exclusively by the military, only professionals. It's good to help them, but sometimes it's much better not to bother them”, Zelensky said.

He stressed that on the matter of national security” there is no room for politics, intrigue, speculation and chaos”

Each day, especially now, must have full interaction between government agencies at all levels. Regional state and district administrations, district councils and other local self-government representatives must understand their responsibility to build a very effective model of protection of national territory and resistance”, he said.

This is a well-equipped and well-equipped background for a professional army that forms the basis of our state, the basis of a strong state”, Zelensky said.

Zelensky on Friday began a two-day work trip to Kharkiv and Kherson regions.
