President Zelenskiy said Ukraine is adjusting its political strategy and will assign experienced officials to lead priority foreign-policy areas including US relations and a Patriot manufacturing license, bilateral security cooperation, a European missile-defence project, EU accession, ties with neighbours (notably Poland and Hungary), Middle East/Gulf engagement and coordination with international actors that can help end the war. Domestically, Kyiv will boost frontline and border defenses, increase deliveries of weapons including multiple drone types and prioritise winter preparedness. Zelenskiy said state-owned enterprise reform and speedier implementation of reconstruction agreements will be accelerated. He signalled a personnel reshuffle, including a cabinet reorganisation, appointing Prime Minister Svyrydenko to oversee the new partner-focused portfolio and replacing heads of law-enforcement agencies.
