President of Ukraine

All news

It is already the 25th day since the Russian military has been vainly trying to find imaginary “Nazis” from whom they allegedly wanted to defend our people. Just as they are vainly trying to find Ukrainians who would meet them with flowers. At least in one city of our state. At least in one village.

I don't need to convince you how intertwined our stories are. Stories of Ukrainians and Jews. In the past, and now, in this terrible time. We are in different countries and in completely different conditions. But the threat is the same: for both us and you - the total destruction of the people, state, culture. And even of the names: Ukraine, Israel.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented state awards to employees of the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine who perform important tasks in resisting the Russian invasion.

During the event, the key directions in this work for the near future, as well as existing issues and ways to resolve them immediately were discussed.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed hope for the effectiveness of today's humanitarian corridors.

Ukraine has always sought a peaceful solution. The more we are interested in peace now. Because we count everyone killed. Because every ruined family, every ruined house matters to us. Because we are Ukrainians, and for us a person is priceless.

The First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska addressed the World Council of Churches with a request to become a mediator in the organization of humanitarian corridors and to help Ukrainians fleeing the war.

Last year we agreed on a big conference with the President of your country. Conference in Lugano. For the sake of economic transformation, for the sake of Ukraine's reforms. It was to take place this July. As well as the next summit of the first ladies and gentlemen. And I believe, I know we can hold them. This year. On your land.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented state awards to soldiers of the special unit of the National Police of Ukraine KORD who perform important tasks in countering the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

As of March 19, ten humanitarian corridors have been agreed upon to evacuate residents of settlements affected by the Russian invasion. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk.
