The second meeting, essentially of a nationwide nature, was in regard to fortification. On all major fronts where it is necessary to strengthen, accelerate with the construction of [defensive] structures. Of course, maximum attention is paid primarily to Avdiivka, Marinka and other fronts in Donetsk Oblast. Kupiansk district in Kharkiv Oblast, as well as the Kupiansk-Lyman defensive line. And the whole Kharkiv, and Sumy, and Chernihiv, and Kyiv, and Rivne oblasts, and Volyn. Kherson Oblast in the south as well.”
