The president cited the need to address "new challenges and new tasks" as the primary driver for the upcoming reshuffle. He specifically highlighted the necessity of significantly strengthening Ukraine's efforts in its front-line and border regions, which are subjected to daily Russian attacks. "All work in Ukraine's front-line and border regions, which are daily subjected to Russian attack, must be significantly strengthened," Zelenskyy stated.

Furthermore, Zelenskyy stressed Ukraine's preparedness for the upcoming winter, emphasizing the need to be ready for any emerging threats.
