The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, gave a brief report on the past day.
The first thing was to conduct the Stavka. Urgent security issues. An obvious harsh reaction to the death of people in Kyiv due to a closed shelter. There is a mandate to inspect protective structures in Kyiv and throughout the country. Ministers Kamyshin and Klymenko are responsible.
Unfortunately, even today – after everything – the people of Kyiv repeatedly publish information about the unavailability of shelters. Not just about closed shelters, but about closed entrances to shelters, about the absence of shelters at all in some parts of the city. This level of negligence in the city cannot be covered with any excuses.
All the details regarding our air defense system – its further development, supply and production of the necessary missiles in Ukraine were also discussed at Stavka. The Ukrainian air shield must be provided with everything necessary on a permanent basis. We are engaged in the coalition of “Patriots” and the coalition of modern fighters – every day actively.
Very carefully – the situation on the front line, in all those points where it is the toughest now. I will not talk about it in more detail – the actions of our state, the active actions of our soldiers will say what is needed. And he separately held a meeting regarding the training of our new brigades, those that are accumulating strength from the north to the south of our country.
The second item for today – held negotiations with the President of Estonia, who arrived in Kyiv. Security first – and that’s what our defense is about now, and what’s about our security long term. Estonia fundamentally helps us with weapons and equipment, supports our movement in NATO, generally understands how important it is that we win victory over racism right now and on our Ukrainian soil. This is important for every nation that is a neighbor of a terrorist state. I am sure: we will provide this security, which is so necessary, we will give Ukraine, all of Europe and the free world victory over Russian aggression.
It is also noteworthy that we are developing our cooperation with Estonia and exporting solutions – our digital solutions. Earlier, it was from Estonia that Ukrainians took an example in the development of digital solutions. And now we have reached such a level that already on the basis of our Ukrainian “Action” a state application will be created in Estonia. What is convenient and useful for millions of Ukrainians will obviously be convenient and useful for other nations. And this is another component of our leadership, Ukrainian leadership. We discussed with Mr. President of Estonia further cooperation, in particular in digitalization.
And, by the way, I will make the following announcement: “Action” will help develop state services in other countries, not only European, but also in Latin America and Africa.
The third for today from the various activities of this day, which is worth saying. He held several meetings, long and meaningful, regarding the formation of our policy – comprehensive – for the future. What concerns the further transformation of the state. What concerns our participation in global processes. As always, we are preparing news and solutions that will give Ukraine and Ukrainians even more strength.
Thank you to everyone who helps our country! Glory to all our soldiers! To everyone who is currently fighting for Ukraine.
Today, I especially want to mention the 92nd separate mechanized brigade – all the soldiers of this brigade, who are extremely steadfastly defending the Swativ direction and successfully repelling enemy attacks while moving forward. Thank you, warriors!
Avdiiv direction… 110th separate mechanized brigade – thank you, soldiers, for your bravery and your ability to powerfully destroy the invaders. Well done!
I would like to mention the border guards who proudly protect the state on the front lines together with all our defense and security forces. Lviv, Donetsk, Zhytomyr border units fighting at the front. Thank you! And I also thank the soldiers of the Chernihiv border detachment, who are actively opposing the Shaheds. The speed and accuracy of our warriors are critical. Thank you, warriors, for your speed and for your accuracy!
Today I signed the decrees on honoring our soldiers with state awards. 263 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
