Speeches

In some areas our warriors are moving forward, in some areas they are defending their positions and resisting the occupiers' assaults and intensified attacks. We have no lost positions. Only liberated ones. They have only losses.

Russia will lose the occupied territories. There is no and will be no alternative to our steps for de-occupation.

And, of course, many thanks to all those who train our soldiers… who share their experience with our heroes, and who themselves learn from Ukrainians.

There was another event today. This is the War Cabinet. Our commanders – generals Syrsky, Tarnavsky, Zaluzhny, Shaptala. And there was Budanov.

We have significant international steps that strengthen our position in several areas at once.

We are now defending ourselves against aggression that replicates the worst wars of the past and seeks the best technologies of our time to terrorize people, states, and even continents. Nothing but unity can stop it.

The key Ukrainian principle is simple and fair, namely: no ruins will be left in Ukraine.

The first is our sky shield. A sufficient number of air defense systems of sufficient capacity. Plus modern fighter jets. The second is the destruction of the basis for terror, for the production of new missiles by a terrorist state.

The battles are fierce, but we are moving forward, and this is very important. The enemy's losses are exactly what we need. Thank you to our guys for every Ukrainian flag that is now returning to its rightful place in the villages of the newly de-occupied territory! Thank you also for the significant replenishment of our exchange fund!

We are already facilitating and will continue to facilitate the most independent and objective investigation by the International Criminal Court. All our law enforcement and other institutions are involved in this process to the fullest extent possible. We provide full access to the affected areas, to witnesses, to all information and evidence.
