We expect more pressure on Russia and greater support for Ukraine - Presidential appeal

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! Today there was still a parsing in the Dnieper after a Russian blow. More than 20 people were injured in this blow - everyone was provided with the necessary help. But, unfortunately, five people were killed, and among them - a child. In Kiev, a girl was killed by the consequences of the shot of "Shahanedov" - she was 14 years old. My condolences to all relatives and loved ones. Today, a blow to Konstantinovka - Donetsk region has been struck.

Four police officers were injured. The shelling was also in Sumy, Kharkiv, under the blow of Donetsk region, in the south of our country: Odesa, Zaporozhye, our Kherson region. Each such day of war proves only that in Moscow are set to continue aggression. They want nothing more there. That is why they try to increase their defense production and bypassing sanctions.

That is why more and more North Korea is being taken from the accomplices, and their soldiers can be on the battlefield against Ukraine. Ukraine will have to actually fight in Europe against North Korea. These are the conditions when the lack of stronger decisions of partners in support of Ukraine only encourages Putin to put further into terror. The world can stop the deployment of war. Abstrams and words are not enough - specific steps are needed. We gave all such steps in terms of victory.

What will not allow the perpetrators of war to become even more aggressive. We expect more pressure on Russia. We expect more support for Ukraine. It will be fair. And the time that comes, as long as there are no decisions, is, unfortunately, constant Russian blows, constant loss of our lives.

The next week will sometimes be our very active work with partners in order to support our soldiers, first of all, soldiers at the front and for the sake of our strategy for coercion of Russia before the end of the war. We prepare important support signals. Today, I want to mention our various people who work every day and every night to protect Ukrainians from Russian blows. Who provide help and always to protect life.
