President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, informing about a significant strengthening of our air defense and the compulsory expropriation of five strategic enterprises for wartime needs.

"I wish health to all dear Ukrainians!

Just spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu—the leader of the bloc that won the elections in Israel. Congratulated him on his victory. Discussed the main aspects of relations between our countries.

I believe it is clear to everyone what Ukraine emphasizes and what security priorities Israel sets. I believe we can significantly strengthen our states, especially since the threats to us are related.

Today, occupiers carried out strikes on more than 50 populated areas of our country. Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson region, Mykolaiv region, Kharkiv region, Dnipropetrovsk oblast... Missiles, aviation, systems of multiple rocket launchers.

We respond everywhere. We have the necessary results—another Russian aircraft was shot down.

We also received new systems that significantly strengthen our air defense. Protection of Ukrainian skies is certainly not 100%, but we are gradually moving towards our goal.

As it stands today, the recent escalation of Russian missile and drone terror has only led to a response from the world—new assistance for Ukraine. We will do everything possible to bring as many countries into this aid effort as possible.

Overall, on the front lines our forces are in an active defense position—we are gradually pushing back the enemy on some eastern and southern sectors. We are slowly advancing forward.

Donetsk remains the epicenter of the largest concentration of occupiers—they die by the hundreds every day. The ground before Ukrainian positions is literally littered with the bodies of occupiers...

And some Russian soldiers have started to think about what is happening. They "complained" to their regional governor—the Primorsky Krai—about massive losses. And this governor, Mr. Kozhiemyako, predictably lied: he says that the losses are "far from as high."

Far from as high... How high then?

From Vladivostok to Pavlovka in Donetsk Oblast—more than 9 thousand kilometers. But he is sure that the losses are "not so high." The governor probably has a better view of how many soldiers are being sent off to be killed from his region. Or was he simply ordered to lie? Ordered from Moscow.

So thousands of kilometers this order travels to lie about Russian losses. And even the bodies of most of these dead will not be brought back to some Vladivostok. But I am sure that Governor Kozhiemyako will come out and explain why not everyone made it, why not all returned from those "not so high" losses.

To escape this one can't complain to some rag dolls but with your own opinion. Not in Telegram but publicly. Not complaints but a hard protest. Not under the covers somewhere but on the streets. And against those who are in Moscow.

Or by surrendering to Ukrainian captivity. That is also an option for survival.

Today, decisions were announced regarding some Ukrainian enterprises. This decision was dictated by military necessity and approved at the General Headquarters Staff. Five strategic enterprises are being compulsorily expropriated for wartime needs—«Motor Sich», KrAZ, «Ukrnafta», «Ukrtatnafta» and Zaporizhzhia Transformer.

Some of them were almost not operating. Now they will all operate for defense. This is repair and production of equipment, support for the Armed Forces, work on restoring our infrastructure. A comprehensive task that can only be carried out through a military-state management system.

I do not rule out similar decisions in the future as well.

Made an important international appeal today. The climate summit in Egypt. A very significant event, a highly representative gathering. Dozens of leaders and government officials.

The main thing for us is to inform the world about ongoing Russian aggression, about the destabilizing influence that Russia exerts on the entire world. When the world is focused on countering war, energy and food crises, the destruction of normal international relations, the climate agenda clearly suffers. And the destruction of the climate cannot be paused...

Therefore, everyone who seriously considers the climate agenda must also seriously consider the need to immediately stop Russian aggression, restore our territorial integrity and compel Russia to enter into real peace talks.

To such negotiations that we have repeatedly proposed and always received godless Russian responses in the form of new terror attacks, shelling or blackmail.

Again: restoration of territorial integrity, respect for the UN Charter, compensation for all losses caused by war, punishment for every war criminal and guarantees that this will not happen again. These are absolutely clear conditions.

Signed an order today to honor our heroes. 396 Ukrainian servicemen were awarded state awards.
