The more the losses of the occupiers, the faster we will be able to release our land - the President of Ukraine's address

This next manifestation of Russian terror, as well as blows to Nikolaev, in Kharkiv, proves that it is necessary to increase military assistance to Ukraine. The more powerful our weapons will be and the greater the range of its use, the faster this cruel war will end. And this is the second thing I wanted to say today. This is a question that worries absolutely everyone: when will the war end? Someone says - another month, someone says - a year, someone - even more.

But the question of time is actually directly dependent on the issue of losses suffered by Russia. The more the losses of the occupiers, the faster we will be able to release our land and guarantee the safety of Ukraine. Here is worth thinking about everyone who protects our country and helps Ukraine: how to inflict as much loss to the occupiers, so that the less time of war is.

If nearly 43,000 dead Russian soldiers do not convince the Russian leadership that they need to look for how to get out of the war, then there is more to fight, more results to convince. In only one day, the invaders lost ten combat aircraft: nine in the Crimea and one more - in the Zaporozhye direction. There are also new losses of armored vehicles, ammunition warehouses, logistics routes . . .

Tomorrow, a conference at the level of defense ministers of Ukraine - partners of Ukraine begins tomorrow in Copenhagen. The further support of our country in this war, including weapons, will be discussed. I am grateful to all our partners who understand that only to lose Russia on the battlefield, only Russian losses - military, political, economic - can bring security to Ukraine and all Europe.

The more weapons receive, the more military-technical and financial support, the faster our people and all Europeans will again be able to feel peace and stability of life. And the third thing. I want to say it right now to the residents of the temporarily occupied territory. Whatever the occupiers promised, their road is an escape. At best. If they have time. We expelled the Russian army from the northern regions. We kicked the invaders from our snake.

They already feel that it is time to flee from Kherson and in general from the south of our country. There will be a time when they run away from Kharkiv region, from Donbass, from Crimea . . . And anyone who can help it has to help it. If you have any important information about the enemy, please inform it in a safe way to our special services, our military. If you know those who help the occupiers or justify aggression, please report it.

Be sure to help our people in the occupied territory that are left alone or without communication. Talk to them, support them, tell them about our struggle and the opportunities to evacuate in the free area. The invaders use our people to cover their blows as a living shield. Ukraine will return all its, and must save as much lives as possible. He held several important meetings today, including the programs of rapid restoration of the liberated territories.

I continue to create new links with the highest level with Africa - today he spoke with the President of the Republic of Ghana. Yesterday - with the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Food safety, cooperation in international organizations, economic relations are a range of issues that go to the plus both our country and African countries. In the evening he signed another decree on the awarding of our defenders.
