On the 36th anniversary of the Chornobyl tragedy, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented state awards to employees of the Chornobyl NPP who provided safety at the nuclear power plant even in the difficult conditions of Russian occupation and saved the world from another man-made disaster.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi who is on a visit to Ukraine.

"Your visit is an important clear signal of support for Ukraine in the war against the Russian Federation," the President stressed. The President of Ukraine informed the Prime Minister of Romania about the situation on the frontline, the heroic defense of Mariupol.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the Okhmatdyt National Children's Specialized Hospital. He visited two orphans from Mariupol who were taken out of the city by the Russian occupiers, but the Ukrainian authorities managed to return them, now they are taken care of by their relatives.

The President of Ukraine discussed with the United States delegation the current priorities for the belligerent state - defense assistance, strengthening sanctions on Russia, financial support for Ukraine and security guarantees.

"Ukraine has done a lot to unite the world. And now that this union exists, weapons are needed. And this is the last union we need. Here, all countries need to become courageous people and courageous leaders together. And not only for us, not only for our victory, but also for themselves," the President of Ukraine summed up.

Ukraine would like Pope Francis to join the rescue of people in the east of our country, in particular to help unblock the humanitarian corridor in Mariupol, because His Holiness is trusted by many people and his mission is from God. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference for international and Ukrainian media in Kyiv.

"I believe that everyone will definitely face the tribunal, the court. Everyone who gave these shameful orders to kill people, children - everyone. That's for sure, I'm sure of it, I believe in it," the President said during a press conference for international and Ukrainian media.

"I believe that, on the contrary, when we win, we will be a state with the most powerful army, the most experienced. The most experienced people in terms of defense. As for security guarantees, I believe that we will become one of the strongest states in Europe. Not because we are special, but because we have no other choice. These are the realities in which we live. These are the realities with which we are neighbors," the President stressed.
