He shared this on social media.

Zelenskyy also mentioned that during a recent meeting, representatives from Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, Defense Intelligence, and the Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs discussed Ukraine's approach to Syria following the fall of dictator Bashar al-Assad and his escape.

He emphasized that Ukraine is committed to stabilizing the situation in Syria and the broader region, and it will support the efforts of its international partners.

"We believe it is critical for the security of both the Syrian people and the region as a whole to remove any Russian presence from Syria," Zelenskyy stated. "We are grateful to every country and leader who is ready to help Syrian society restore normal life and build effective state institutions. Ukraine will help ensure food security for the people of Syria. We’ve made all the necessary arrangements and are ready to supply food."

He added that Ukraine is prepared to collaborate with representatives of the Syrian people to correct the mistakes of the Assad regime, especially in terms of its relations with Ukraine and Europe.

Zelenskyy also mentioned that Ukraine’s army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi provided a report on the frontline and the situation in the Kursk operation.

Zelenskyy stressed the risk of North Korea sending additional soldiers and military equipment to support the Russian army and warned that Ukraine would respond decisively. According to preliminary information, more than 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded in the Kursk region.

He emphasized, "It's important for the world to understand that the risks of destabilization around the Korean Peninsula and neighboring regions are growing as Moscow and Pyongyang deepen their cooperation. The transfer of modern warfare tactics and military technologies from Russia is a global threat. For the world, the cost of restoring stability is always much higher than the cost of applying effective pressure on those who destabilize the situation and take lives."
