Russia brings death and degradation, Ukraine is always about recovery - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! Today we can report that in all our regions, which became the target of yesterday's Russian terrorist attack, the technical possibility of supply of electricity has been restored. I thank everyone and everyone who worked without stopping to give people light. Of course, in many cities and districts, our power companies have to apply stabilization schedules. This is to ensure that all our people have access to energy - in conditions where its production is not enough.

Recovering power -domain terrorists destroyed is a much longer and more difficult thing. But over time we will provide it. Over time . . . This time has to go through. Therefore, today, in the future, it is still necessary to consciously consume electricity. Please do not forget to limit the use of unnecessary and energy -consuming equipment. I want to contact the heads of communities and mayors of our cities separately: please make sure that energy is not waste.

It is definitely not the time for bright showcases and signboards. It is necessary to be very delighted with energy consumption in public space. Recovery continues in the de -industrial area. Every day I get new reports on gas, water, and electricity of hundreds of households in liberated areas. In particular, only for today and only two districts of Kharkiv region, 346 subscribers - again with gas. The city of Vovchansk is another 750 electricity subscribers.

The city of Izium is another 300 electricity subscribers. It is a permanent job that does not stop any day and lasts in the entire liberated territory of Ukraine. Everywhere, where Russia has brought death and degradation, we return a normal life. This is about Ukrainians. Where Ukraine is never destroying life. And here, where and where Russia comes, it leaves mass graves, torture, destroyed cities and villages, replaced land, destroyed infrastructure, natural catastrophes everywhere.

Therefore, when the Russian Minister of Defense arranges a telephone carousel today and calls foreign ministers with stories about the so -called dirty nuclear bomb, everyone is well aware. They understand who is the source of all dirty, which can only be imagined in this war. This Russia staged a blackmail with a radiation disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP. This trajectory of Russian missiles lies in particular over Ukrainian nuclear objects.

This Russian military has replaced the dam and units of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station and blackmail them. Russia uses phosphorus ammunition, prohibited anti -personnel mines and the entire range of weapons against civilian infrastructure. Ukraine is always about recovery. Always about life. And if someone can use nuclear weapons in our part of Europe, then it is only one entity - and this subject just ordered Comrade Shoigu to call somewhere there.

If Russia calls and tells that Ukraine is preparing something, it means one thing: Russia has already prepared it all. I think that now the world should respond as rigidly as possible. If Russia has prepared another raising of the pond and another escalating step-it is now, preventively and to any new "dirt", should see that the world is not swallowed.

Even the Russian threat itself with nuclear weapons - and even more so against our country, which gave its nuclear arsenal for the promises of security by the largest nuclear states - this is the basis for both sanctions and even more strengthening of Ukraine's support. For the stronger they support us, the faster this war and any possible Russian threats will end. When the terrorist state raises bid, it must feel that it will not work.

For the starting week, it will be the number one task for our diplomat - to explain what is happening. And I am sure that the world will be with us. The world will understand. It is very important that today, a sixth food vessel was released from our port, which is chartered within the UN World Food Program. This ship goes to Yemen, with wheat. Ethiopia, Yemen and Afghanistan are three countries that have already received food through our exports and the UN Food Program.
