I’m confident that freedom can be stronger than any of its enemies. I believe we can be just as effective in defending freedom now as the free world was in 1989. I’m as confident today as I was on February 24th, when I told world leaders – Ukraine will fight, Ukraine will stand.
Thanks to the integration of our energy system with Europe, we have appropriate support from our neighbors, which is important. I thank every country that helps.
I congratulate all of you on your professional holiday. Today there is only one expression – "well done". There is only one emotion – gratitude. And there is only one wish – victory.
We will continue to "subtract" the terrorists. We are strengthening our air defense, particularly in Odesa region. Gradually. Yet tangibly. I thank every country that helps.
As long as your hearts, volunteer hearts, and the spirit of help and support are beating, our people are fighting, Ukraine is fighting. Relentlessly. And we are fighting.
