Russia is preparing for winter, and in Ukraine all attention should be focused on the protection and answers to terrorists - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Every time another week of war is completed - our defense, our active actions - it is important to say one thing: to thank. To thank everyone and anyone who protects our country and gives Ukraine the opportunity to be really Ukraine: a living and strong country. It is important to thank anyone who fights for the sake of the state, anyone who helps to fight and who protects Ukraine's interests in the world.

To all who train our soldiers, who treats, who develops our military medicine and our military production and the provision of our people - providing everything necessary. We should always understand how many people are involved in the protection of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And each of these people is important, all together are Ukrainian power. First of all, these are our warriors. Those who physically restrain the enemy, who destroys the occupier, who protects against Russian rockets and drones.

And today I would like to point out the units of our National Guard of Ukraine, who are fighting with all the forces of defense and security. They fight strongly, firmly, fight effectively. I thank you, warriors! The 3rd and 14th Brigade of the National Guard, which fight in the offensive surgery in the south. The 12th Brigade of the National Guard is the eastern direction. The boys hold positions and protect every meter of Ukrainian land.

Thank you for your strength! Thank you for the reflection of Russian storms! The 4th brigade of the National Guard-is in the Bakhmut direction. I am especially grateful to the artillerymen and anti-aircraft brigade. You are good! But, of course, the Avdiivsky direction: there, along with all our soldiers, heroically fights the fighters of the special purpose units of the National Guard.

Thank you for your sustainability, guys! It is also important to remember the warriors and units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, who, together with everyone, are fighting for the defense forces on the front line, and also cherish our border and guarantee the safety of the border movement. They are really infrequently talking about them, but they are well. Donetsk region, Avdiivsky direction - thank you to the warriors of the Zhytomyr border detachment.

Senior sergeants Nazar Gray and Sergey Solozhuk were especially distinguished. Liman direction - thank the guys from the Izmail border detachment. And special thanks to the chief sergeant Alexander Atmazhov and senior sergeant Yuri Panasenko. Thank you for your bravery! And the DOCOR special unit - performs tasks in different directions.

I thank all of you guys! And also note the border guards of the Sumy detachment - thank you for the protection against saboteurs and for the beat of Russian drones! We have passed almost half of November and should be prepared for the fact that the enemy can increase the number of blows with drones or missiles on our infrastructure. Russia is preparing for winter.

And in Ukraine, all the attention should be focused on defense, on the answers of terrorists, on everything because Ukraine can do to facilitate our people passing this winter and increase the capabilities of our soldiers. I thank all our partners who helped Ukraine with air defense.

These are different countries: the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Norway, Italy, it is Romania, it is Sweden, the Netherlands, Slovakia, it is Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, the Baltic States and other countries. "Petriots", "Namsi", "Airis", "Ravena", "Hocks", other systems. We can not speak openly now, but the Ukrainian air shield is already stronger than last year. Other opportunities, but not yet complete protection of the whole territory, unfortunately.

And we work to make it even stronger. Every country, every leader who helps us to intensify air defense, helps protect life. And I urge all Ukrainians, Ukrainian women, all those whose voice in the world hear, our journalists, all those who support Ukraine in the world, help to strengthen protection. Help! We are able to pass the most difficult tests. But together, in unity, when we take care of each other and when millions of people help their defenders, defenders and their country.
