President

Since the beginning of the week, more than 20 people have been injured in the Odessa region from Russian terror; Only absolute evil can cause such blows - the Presidential Appeal of Ukraine

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! Two more children were killed today by Russia. The strike of Russian artillery on the village of Druzhba, the Toretsky community of Donetsk region. The girl was born in 2007 and a boy-2013. Chernihiv region, Goncharivske village is a rocket. Two women are killed, there is a breakdown of the rubble . . . damaged house of culture, school, dwellings.

My condolences to my relatives and loved ones! Today, Russian rockets and drones were again beat in Odessa, in our southern regions. In total, more than 20 people were injured in the territory of the Odessa region from the beginning of the week. Among them are two children. Only absolute evil can cause such blows. There will be an answer.

In addition, there will be even more consolidation of the world for protection and for joint action, even more energy for the sake of victory, even more the desire for justice, the just punishment of Russia for all crimes of this war. And such a punishment will be. He spent the meeting. Prolonged. The issues of protection of our cities and communities, our ports from Russian blows have been discussed in detail.

If someone there in Russia hopes that they will be able to make the Black Sea with the space of arbitrariness and terrorism, then they will not work. We know how to protect ourselves, we see in the world the willingness to work together and in the future - and more actively - to give peace to the region. Tonight I plan to negotiate with Turkish President Erdogan. Black Sea region, food security, other important topics.

As always, there were detailed reports of the military, intelligence, border guards on the existing situation on the forefront. And not only in key areas of active action, but also in general about the border, about the probable development of the situation. Ammunition is a topic of constant attention. Of course, our production of shells and drones, not just supply from partners. We capture greater results every week, an increase in our capabilities.

He also held a thorough meeting on one of the most important components of the state policy of Ukraine - heroes. Policies on our warriors, on veterans. Ukraine will not only win in this war, but also wins a life that will be worthy of heroes who fight for it. It is very important that our system - state, public, economic, cultural - is exactly the one that it can be said that it is really based on respect.

Respect for Ukraine and everyone who has sent their lives, their courage, its power for the sake of Ukraine to stand against evil and won Russian terror. I am grateful to anyone who has already started developing with us the details of the Ukrainian transformation after this war. And one more. I thank our soldiers. Everyone who protects the Ukrainian sky across the country. Air forces, our pilots and anti -aircraft, mobile fire crews. Each unit of air defense of all kinds and types of troops.
