The next week should be a time of activity for the sake of a new pressure on Russia, that is, for the sake of peace - the President's appeal

 Tomorrow the third stage. We have to release a thousand of our people these days. But the task is to release absolutely anyone who is now held in Russia, and this task is common to our intelligence, for our diplomats, for our whole country. It is clear that this task is not easy, but it must be implemented.  I am grateful to everyone in the world who helps us. And this is really important to us - that our partners - every leader, every state - support us in this difficult job. We don't stop a day.

And of course, I want to thank all our units today on the front line, as well as our law enforcement officers - all who replenish the exchange fund for Ukraine. Our active actions are always, in particular, actions for this opportunity to exchange ours from captivity. Today, there is something to mention the Ukrainian units of the defenders of the sky. There was a really large -scale and vowel Russian blow. Ballistics, and some of the rockets managed to knock down.

There were also 250 drones: the majority were Shahda. Every night our forces work to protect life. And I want to thank everyone who helps Ukraine with air defense with the supply of air defense systems. And this is really for us - it is a real protection of people here and now. During the day, work in Kiev after a Russian blow continued. Unfortunately, people were injured, houses, a shopping center were damaged. Russia fills with grief and murders every day - simply delaying war.

Yesterday - a brutal blow to Odesa region. Every day - in Sumy region, in Kharkiv, other regions. All this requires a reaction - a fierce reaction of the United States of America, the reaction of Europe, the reaction of all in the world who wants to end the war. Putin has abandoned the ceasefire repeatedly. It gives him anything except that he takes his life every day. Every day gives reasons for new sanctions against Russia, every day proves that without pressure on Russia the war will continue.
