The European Union does not have to take up arms to fight the Russian threat - it needs to fight on the diplomatic and economic frontlines. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview for world broadcasters.

Russia should move away from ultimatums against Ukraine, because they will not lead to any results. We need to find a compromise to end the war. This was emphasized by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview for world broadcasters.

The enemy is slowly trying to move. To go on the offensive somewhere. To capture our road somewhere. To cross the river somewhere. The Ukrainian army - well done - repels these attempts. And holds back the occupiers.

In this video, I want to appeal separately to the Ukrainian cities and the brave inhabitants of these cities. To the free south of Ukraine, where the sun shines only to welcome guests, not to random "tourists" on tanks.

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.
