Zelenskyy Tackles Kherson’s Security

In a significant coordination meeting held on November 11, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy convened with top military officials to address the ongoing security and socio-economic challenges facing Kherson and its surrounding region. The meeting, involving key commanders and attended by the commander of the 310th Separate Electronic Warfare Battalion and the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, focused on enhancing defensive measures against frequent drone attacks and improving the local infrastructure and public services.

During the session, Dmytro Liashok, Commander of the 310th Separate Electronic Warfare Battalion, detailed the operational status and successes in countering Russian drone assaults through advanced electronic warfare tactics and mobile fire groups. The military provided demonstrations of these systems in action, showcasing their effectiveness in a live setting.

Further discussions led by Robert Brovdi, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, highlighted efforts to expand electronic warfare capabilities. President Zelenskyy emphasized the urgent need for escalated defense mechanisms in Kherson, citing the relentless drone strikes that the city faces. “Thousands of Russian drone strikes against this city every month – the threat is virtually constant,” Zelenskyy stated, underscoring the critical nature of the situation.

The meeting also covered vital socio-economic aspects, including the provision of essential equipment and funds for the energy sector, which Zelenskyy noted should receive immediate government approval. Additional support measures for municipal services, education, and social needs were discussed, with regional authorities outlining the pressing requirements of local communities.

President Zelenskyy’s firm stance on immediate and robust action reflects his administration’s commitment to not only safeguard Kherson but also to ensure the welfare of its residents amid ongoing conflicts. The outcomes of this meeting are expected to usher in a strengthened defensive posture for Kherson and enhanced support for its socio-economic stability.
