Following the appointment of a new government, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the reshaping of Ukraine's security sector will continue on 18 July, followed by an overhaul of the country's diplomatic corps starting next Monday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that demobilisation will occur only after Ukraine defeats the Russians, emphasising the need for a high-quality rotation of the military in the meantime.

Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russian territory, even asking Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether he could strike Moscow if the US provided long-range weapons, according to people briefed on the discussions.

Zelenskyy has emphasized the importance of expanding production to counter Russia's invasion and strike deeper into Russian territory.

The White House confirmed that Trump and Zelenskyy discussed whether Ukraine would be able to strike Moscow and St. Petersburg with U.S.-supplied weapons.

U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly said during his campaign he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” upon taking office.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg on Monday in the capital Kyiv, where they discussed boosting Ukraine's air defenses and Kyiv buying weapons with European help.
