Russian blows will be impossible if it is possible for us to destroy the occupier's starting set up where they are - the President's address

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! First of all, the tragedy in Poltava. Rescue work is still ongoing - they disassemble the blockages. All services are involved. As of this time, the number of wounded is 271. Everyone is provided with the necessary help. I am grateful to all rescuers, doctors, nurses, all Poltava people who joined the help, passed blood, who supports. It is known that under the rubble of the destroyed building there are people. Everything is done to save as much lives as possible.

According to the current information, this Russian blow killed 51 people. My condolences to all relatives and loved ones. Law enforcement agencies and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine find out all the circumstances of this tragedy. This blow was performed by two ballistic missiles. The alarm signal was. Everything else - every detail - should be installed and checked during the investigation. Today spent the meeting. Subject to the use of air defense and the protection of our cities and communities.

The steps are defined in order to make the systems we already have. We also work to obtain additional protection for Ukraine. We are very relying on Patriot, which is preparing to convey Romania. I will be grateful for this step of help from Romania. This is what our country, our country, is all of our country.

And, of course, we continue to work with all partners for the sake of stronger decisions to support our protection - for the sake of long -range decisions that could destroy a large part of Russian ballistics before the start. This is one of the key issues of this war in general. The issues of our long -range and appropriate permits from partners, long -range shells and missiles we could use.

Russian blows will be impossible if it is possible for us to destroy the start -up of the occupier where they are, and Russian military airfields and logistics. To give Ukraine such permits and such weapons is to take the exact greatest step towards the real, fair end of this war. Russia simply cannot fight without terror - it is the terrorist blows and the ability to sow ruins that replaces the Russian leadership and tactics, and the strategy of war. He spoke to Canada Prime Minister today.

He informed about the situation on the battlefield, the consequences of Russian terror. We discussed what can strengthen our positions. Air defense, defensive packages, technology needs. It is very important that Justin is ready to persuade partners more actively to give Ukraine more long -range. Also today there were important reports on drones - various types of drones that use our Armed Forces of Ukraine, SBU, GUR. Efficiency, priorities . . . There is an experience that is worth spreading.

There are also mistakes that need to be corrected. Our Ukrainian, drones should be one hundred percent effective, because it literally means that Ukraine will be one hundred percent effective in the battlefield. And I thank all of our people who gain this positive experience of using drones that are spreading experience in the troops. Thank you to everyone who produces and supplies drones.

And thank you to everyone who really destroys the occupier and destroys the Russian potential of war - just there in the enemy. There was a continued report of the Syrsky head on the front and operations in the Kursk region. The Pokrovsky direction is a solution to strengthen positions. Active actions in Kurshchyna continue to replenish the exchange fund for our country. And one more. Autumn will be extremely important for Ukraine.

And our state institutions should be set up so that Ukraine achieves all the results we need - all of us. To do this, we need to strengthen some areas in the government, and prepared personnel decisions. There will also be changes in the office. I also count on the slightly different weight of certain areas of our foreign and domestic policy. The first is more interaction between the central authorities and the communities. Especially now, in the preparation for the winter season.

The second is that Ukraine has already achieved significant results in defense production. And this should be intensified at all levels, in particular so that it is easier to attract partners' investments in our strategic industries. Third - we need to significantly strengthen our work with NATO; This requires special interaction. The fourth - the European Union, real negotiations on membership, the preparation of the relevant parts of the future membership agreement.

It is very clear both legal and political work. It will be personal responsibility. And the fifth - it is necessary to combine everything that Ukraine has reached in relations with partners - trust in Ukraine, the power of the Ukrainian spirit, relations with partners - and those tasks that are before our state in counteracting Russian propaganda, as well as in the protection of Ukrainian cultural heritage . We need a new level of information work, cultural and diplomatic.
