I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
Briefly about today. First – the military. There were reports on the frontline. It is extremely important that the occupier has achieved no significant results. The Pokrovsk sector, the areas of Dobropillia, and the Donetsk region in general – we are defending our positions. We are holding the line in all other sectors of the front as well, and this is the most significant result for our state.
I want to thank every unit and all our warriors. I would like to give special recognition today to the 414th Brigade “Magyar’s Birds” of the Unmanned Systems Forces. I also want to recognize the 411th Separate Regiment of Unmanned Systems “The Hawks,” and the Border Guard Unit of Unmanned Aerial Systems – “Phoenix.” Thank you very much, warriors! Artillerymen of the 26th, 55th, and 148th Brigades, and the missile troops of the 360th Separate Coastal Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy – thank you! The 5th and 92nd Separate Assault Brigades, the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade, the 227th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, the Special Operations Forces units, and also the 1st, 33rd, 225th, and 425th Separate Assault Regiments. It is very important that every unit be effective in its area of responsibility for the sake of Ukraine. Today, I signed a decree awarding state honors to our warriors: 304 servicemembers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 135 of them, sadly, posthumously.
There was a report from Minister of Defense Denys Shmyhal. By the end of the year – in terms of weapons supply and defense production – we must fulfill all the tasks set for supporting the front, financing our army, and carrying out our deep strikes. Ukraine is currently applying its long-range sanctions against Russia virtually on a daily basis. And we have clear results in the form of reduced Russian capabilities every day. Russia must keep losing, and this is actually a peacemaking tactic. I want to thank everyone working for Ukraine’s respective capabilities – and, of course, our warriors for their precision.
Today, I also held a meeting with our government officials and the Office team regarding the situation in our frontline communities, in such cities of ours as Nikopol, as well as cities in the South of Ukraine, the cities of the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, which come under attack virtually every day. We are preparing new support measures for our people in frontline and border communities.
Today, I also held a diplomatic meeting – regarding meetings and events in the coming weeks. We are preparing agreements with several European countries, including those aimed at bolstering our air defense and energy sector. We are constantly adding such agreements, primarily with European nations, that allow us to recover step by step after Russian strikes.
And one more thing.
Any effective action against corruption is greatly needed. The inevitability of punishment is essential. Energoatom currently provides Ukraine with the largest share of power generation. Integrity within the company is a priority. The energy sector and every field. Everyone who has built corrupt schemes must face a clear procedural response. There must be convictions. And government officials must work together with NABU and law enforcement bodies – and do it in a way that delivers real results.
I thank everyone who helps! I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine!
