President

I am sure that mine terror will be among the prosecution points against Russia for aggression - the President of Ukraine's appeal

Dear Ukrainians! As soon as I signed the decrees on the awarding of state awards by posthumous police officers, whose lives were taken yesterday in Kherson region by Russian mines. The title of Hero of Ukraine was awarded to the police colonel Mikhail Kurratchenko. Order "For Courage" - Police captains Igor Melnyk and Sergei Nesad and Corporal of the Police Vadim Perizhzhka. Once again - my condolences . . . They did everything for the safety of Ukrainians.

Already returning after one of the tasks, when weapons and ammunition were seized from the trash of the invaders, which were left in Kherson region, police got into a mine trap. And this is the form of Russian terror that will have to counter for years. Terrorists deliberately try to leave behind the most deadly traps. Buried fugas, stretch marks, replaced buildings, machines and infrastructure . . . There are more than 170 thousand square kilometers of dangerous territory.

I am sure that it will be among the accusations against Russia for aggression - it is mine terror. What is even more cruel and more under the rocket, because there is no such mine system that could destroy at least some of the threat, as our air defense does. I am grateful to all our partners who help Ukraine with mine work.

Canada, Japan, Britain, Slovakia, Ambassadors and Donors United24 and many, many others who understand how important it is that Ukraine does not remain on its own with the problem of replaced by the occupiers of the territory. He met with representatives of Slovakia today, a government delegation - foreign ministers, defense and economics. They discussed with them the existing cooperation between our states both at the bilateral level and in the structures of the European Union.

They agreed on new solutions for the sake of our common security and political interests. We are actively working to support and strengthen regular sanction steps against Russia - European, American and other partners. The issue of the ninth EU sanction package is currently at work. We also expect other decisions, in particular regarding the schemes of bypassing anti -war sanctions, including financial and energy. We are preparing some important events - tomorrow and next week.
