The main topic was an audit of agreements with partners on military assistance, in particular to strengthen the protection of energy facilities.<\/p>\n<p> Zelensky, according to the interlocutors, sought to find out who specifically is responsible for the defense of critical infrastructure and what steps have already been taken. During the discussion, the president repeatedly expressed irritation when officials evaded specific answers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1451\"> As noted in the material of &#8220;Ukrainian Pravda&#8221;, in such cases this leads to one final outcome &#8211; the longer the meeting lasts, the less clarity there is about who is responsible for what.<\/p>\n<p> At a certain point, the head of state raised his voice, demanding to stop shifting responsibility and move on to specifics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1603\"> The President insisted on simple but fundamental things &#8211; to provide clear data on which energy grid facilities are already protected and which remain vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p> It is worth noting that the previous meeting of the State Council on October 6 ended with a &#8220;difficult conversation&#8221; and sharp criticism of government officials due to the slow pace of preparing the energy system for winter attacks.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ataka-rosii-po-ukraini-ihnat-rozpoviv-pro-osoblyvist-obstrilu\/\">Russia has once again intensified its attacks on Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure<\/a> .
