The president noted that it is important to have as much information as possible from all levels, and as a result of the meeting, an agreement on cooperation was reached.

Sternenko, for his part, said that he had the opportunity to raise the most pressing issues of supplying the army and charitable activities. He also conveyed to the president comments and wishes from the military, emphasising that he receives significant feedback from the front line every day.
