President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, speaking about the resilience of our state, common opportunities and successes of Ukrainian defense, as well as a new international communication schedule that will strengthen our country.

"I wish good health to all Ukrainians,

There are several things I need to say today.

First, gratitude to all of our soldiers. To each and every one who is on duty now, in battle, at combat posts, on combat missions – along the entire front line, from Kupyansk to Kreminna. To those recovering after injuries. And those training to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Today I especially want to highlight our border guards – soldiers of the Border Service of Ukraine who not only protect our state border but also fight alongside everyone on various fronts. The "Steel Border" Brigade – strong warriors, defending Kharkiv Oblast, Kupyansk direction – I am very grateful to all of you.

And separately, I would like to recognize the effectiveness of soldiers Artem Tzapluk and Igor Kamenecky, junior sergeants Yuri Popish and Yaroslav Sholoma, Lieutenant Colonel Valeriy Havrylyuk. Thank you boys for your skillful actions! Soldiers of the Luhansk Border Detachment – "Retribution" Brigade – strong warriors, again on the forefront, Lyman and Bakhmut directions. Especially I am grateful to soldier Yevgen Serdyuk for his bravery and personal effectiveness – senior sergeant Kiryl Chumachenko. And Mariupol direction – Border Rapid Reaction Command of Zhytomyr Detachment: thank you all, our soldiers, for your accuracy and destruction of Russian equipment. And especially I would like to highlight junior sergeant Pavlo Shevchuk and sergeant Radion Blashka – just great guys! Each individual result in this war is the result of the entire Ukraine. Because it is from these personal results that the resilience of our state, our common national opportunities and successes of Ukrainian defense are built.

Of course, soldiers of the 95th Separate Airborne Brigade of our Armed Forces of Ukraine also deserve special gratitude. To all of you who courageously defend the country without fail – Ukraine is grateful to you. Especially worth mentioning for combat operations senior soldier Yevheny Kuchmenko and soldiers Mykola Mantulu and Vitaliy Kurdyne. Thank you boys, for your bravery and real care for comrades! 68th Separate Jäger Brigade – soldiers Anatoliy Vlasuk and Mykola Chubik – thank you and all of your comrades for selflessness, for being role models for others. And it's worth mentioning the 100th Separate Brigade TO and in particular senior soldier Mykola Panasenko and staff sergeant Oleksandr Berezhnyi. Boys who are so brave, so aware, so selfless that thanks to such warriors of ours the world – despite everything – continues to believe in Ukraine, in our ability to win this war as Ukraine needs.

For the new week there is already an international communication schedule that will strengthen our state. And what concerns positions in Europe – relations with the European Union and our neighbors in the EU – and what concerns international institutions – those who should protect international law, and of course we are preparing new defense packages for our soldiers. Based on the results of this new week, we can say that Ukraine has become stronger. This is important – so that each week adds more clear agreements to our bilateral relations with partners, while defense coalitions gain more resilience in weapons, ammunition, equipment supply. I thank everyone around the world who helps exactly like this – so that agreements work and the resilience of our soldiers is based on the resilience of our partners.

Glory to each and every one fighting for Ukraine!

Glory to Ukraine!"
