More air defense systems and means of defeat of Russian aviation means a closer peace - the appeal of the President of Ukraine

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! A few important things for this day and for these weeks. First of all - our defenders of the sky. I would like to celebrate all Ukrainian soldiers now, who protect our sky every day and night. Only one night on this Sunday, they managed to knock down 35 Shahaned. In total, from the beginning of March, Russian terrorists have used 175 such killing drones against Ukraine. Fortunately, 151 of them were knocked down by our warriors. And this is a very important result.

Yes, not everyone. Yes, there is a hit. Unfortunately, there are losses. There are victims. But it is possible to save our people. I thank every warrior of our mobile fire groups in all regions of combat duty. I thank every pilot and the Air Force engineer, all our air defense soldiers. We will continue to increase our fire opportunities, Ukrainian air defense. More air defense systems and other means of defeat of Russian aviation means a closer peace.

I thank everyone in the world who helps us with this. There will be more air defense in Ukraine - we work very actively on it. Second. Our defense forces consist of many elements. Many crews and units. And everyone who operates on the front, everyone who protects the state from Russian saboteurs and terror, everyone who performs combat missions deserves gratitude and respect.

Russian killers and torturers do not go further Europe only because they are restrained by Ukrainians and Ukrainians with weapons in their hands and under the blue and yellow flag. There were many white walls of houses and churches that were now burned and broken by Russian shells in Ukraine. And it says very eloquently who should stop so that the war will stop. Anyone who protects life and people fulfills the most honorable mission that can only be in such an anti -human invasion.

And we must fully protect life, protect in our home. And I thank everyone who supports our protection, Ukrainian defenders and defenders. When the Russian evil on February 24 began this war, all Ukrainians began to defend. Christians, Muslims, Jews - all. I thank every Ukrainian chaplain who - with the army, in the defense forces. There, on the front line. Protect life and humanity. They support both prayer, conversation, and business. That's what the church is with people.

And not for two and a half thousand kilometers - somewhere there is a virtual mediation between those who want to live and those who want to destroy you. I thank everyone who is doing everything in Ukraine and Ukraine to save their lives, thank everyone who helps and who really is around - actions and prayers. And today I want to particularly celebrate the warriors of our National Guard, who together with everyone fighting at the front - in the east, in the south of Ukraine.

The warriors of the third brigade of operational purpose are junior sergeant Viktor Ivanov and Lieutenant Kirill Kudinov. The Fifth Slobozhansk Brigade of the National Guard - Soldiers Sergey Turilkin and Mykola Hnatyuk. I will also note the soldiers of the first and third assault units of the Omega National Guard Center. Thank you for the skills and the necessary results to Ukraine.

Also, after these weeks, there is something to thank the soldiers of the GUR units - the details are not worth opening the details in public, but their work is really feeling their work. And the more the Russian state will lose, the more this evil of war will take away from our earth. He spoke with French President Macron today. Over an hour conversation. I am grateful to Emmanuel for his new initiative steps to support Ukraine, for the leadership that gives us all in Europe forces.

I am grateful for the new defensive package. They discussed the schedule and key expected results of our future meeting in Ukraine. One more. The moon of Ramadan for Muslims and the world now begins. And this year Ramadan, unfortunately, is overshadowed by war and suffering. During this month, we will still become closer to honest and just peace. Not only for Ukraine. And for all peoples who now suffer from war. It is the power of mankind - to achieve such unity that justice protects life from wars.
