Russian assault actions are ongoing and our forces continue all the necessary combat activity - the Presidential Appeal

We continue active actions in the Kursk and Belgorod regions - it is the protection of Sumy region, it is the protection of Kharkiv region, active and effective our protection. Since the beginning of the Kursk operation in August, the Russian army suffered serious losses - more than 63 thousand killed and wounded only there, in Kurshchyna. Our forces have also been able to significantly replenish the exchange fund for Ukraine.

The more hostilities are taken to the enemy, the more it protects our communities. Unfortunately, the Russians do not signal the ceasefire, and they are not ready to finish the war. So, all our forms of pressure, all our work with partners for the sake of pressure on Russia is what is absolutely needed. The pressure convinces. Pressure on the battlefield. Pressure in the economy, and for this purpose - sanctions. Pressure in politics. I want to thank everyone who supports Ukraine.

I want to celebrate now our soldiers who have shown themselves these weeks. This is our 14th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine-thank you! Also, the 36th Brigade of Marines, also the 25th assault battalion, the 1st assault regiment-thank you all. It is protection in the Pokrovsky direction. I am also grateful for the actions in Kurshchyna to every soldier, I want to thank every sergeant and officer, all our units.

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine reported details of work with partners for the sake of new weapons supply. We are actively working on attracting investments in production in Ukraine. Production will only grow, and this is our long -term security guarantee. I spent several international conversations today. The President of the European Council - informed him about negotiations with America and relevant agreements with other Europeans.

We also prepare in detail the talk process for Ukraine's accession. On our part, everything is ready for opening the first clusters. He also talked about it with Poland Prime Minister Tusk. The Polish presidency in the EU is ongoing, and it is important that it is a effective presidency. He also spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, in particular, about possible forms of meetings and working together. Together we strengthen diplomacy. And another fundamental thing.
