President of Ukraine

Speeches

We are also preparing a new agenda for the NSDC, in addition to the issues related to the financial resilience of our state. We need to support the financial stability of every Ukrainian family, of all our citizens.

We maintain our unity – global unity – and this truly weakens Russia’s ability to continue this insane and criminal aggression, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

The Russians do not change their objective of destroying Ukraine’s energy sector. They continue their attacks, constantly adjusting their strikes to the capabilities of our defense, making them more difficult to repel.

Just today, the rescue operations in Poltava were completed after a Russian missile strike. Unfortunately, this missile killed fourteen people, including two children.

Now we are working to attract more resources and partners to strengthen the Ukrainian air shield. Protection against shelling is an absolute priority.

Today we received a report from the military: the frontline, the situation with brigades – manning. We are preparing new formats to support brigades and man our units. I have given instructions to present the details to the public next week.

Every such Russian strike must face a response from the world – terror must not go unpunished. The most effective response is to support our people and our state.

Today an initial report was given by Government officials and team of the Office – Oleksii Kuleba and Viktor Mykyta – on critical programs that are now suspended and were previously funded by American support.

Oleksii Kuleba and other Government officials are identifying which specific programs are currently in short supply; almost all of them were not channeled through the Government of Ukraine, but directly through our communities, through various organizations. There are many projects. We will determine which ones are critical and need immediate solutions.

Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi has been assigned to lead the operational-strategic group of troops "Khortytsia." These are the most intense areas of combat.
