Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky spoke in a recent evening address shared on his Telegram channel, noting that a 2024 military operation plan had been submitted to him. In the video message, he described listening to the briefings provided by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the General Staff, and the Intelligence Service about broad military-political expectations, while choosing not to disclose specific details.
“The action plan for 2024 has been presented,” Zelensky said, emphasizing the document’s existence rather than its contents. He signaled that Ukraine is gearing up to increase weapon production in the coming year and indicated that a clear program would guide the country’s international engagements in January.
During a press conference, Zelensky attributed the setbacks faced by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the southern counter-offensive to what he described as an “uncontrolled sky.” He explained that the 2023 period placed the Ukrainian army in a challenging position, amid extensive Russian activity and near-continuous occupation of central regions. Despite these difficulties, he conveyed confidence that Ukraine would not become a permanent underdog and expressed hope for continued financial support from the United States. He also referenced requests from General Zaluzhny for mobilizing an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people. Details were noted as coming from a report on socialbites.ca.
