“In the zone of risk of enemy missile and drone strikes is the entire territory of Ukraine. Therefore, the training process must be maximally transferred underground. Response to air raid signals and the appearance of reconnaissance drones must be immediate!” he stated.

He also reiterated the focus on protecting servicemen: “Once again, I emphasize: the main thing is the people. Their training, their safety, their lives. The better our warriors are trained, the more protected they will be—and so will our entire country.”

On July 29, the Ukrainian military’s official command reported that Russia launched a missile strike targeting a training facility of Ukraine’s Ground Forces, killing three and injuring 18.
