During a pivotal meeting with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief on Friday, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov outlined key priorities for Ukraine’s military and civilian preparedness this fall and winter. Among the central topics discussed were the enhancement of missile defense systems to counter potential threats, as well as adjustments to mobilization rules that will impact young adults. These measures are part of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its national security posture amid evolving regional dynamics.
The decision to review missile defense capabilities comes amid heightened concerns about potential escalation in the conflict with Russia. Umerov emphasized the importance of modernizing defense infrastructure to protect both military and civilian populations. Additionally, the revised mobilization rules are expected to streamline the recruitment process, ensuring a more efficient response to any unforeseen security challenges. These adjustments reflect a broader strategy to balance military readiness with societal stability.
