President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, speaking about ammunition and weapons production and supply issues as well as the situation in Kherson.
"I wish health to all dear Ukrainians!
Today was a very busy day.
First — The Command Post. Extended format, detailed reports. Zhukovskiy, Syrskyi, Tarnavskiy, Moskaliov, Nayev. Situation across main fronts.
East — very difficult. Painful. But we are doing everything to hold out.
South — on some fronts the situation is quite dangerous, but our soldiers have what and how to respond to the occupier.
Odessa and the Black Sea area — we control the situation.
North — all of our soldiers on this front see every enemy intention. Where necessary, we reinforce.
There was a report from GUR chief Budanov regarding current occupier intentions. There are decisions concerning our countermeasures.
Separately and very detailed at the Command Post, we examined issues of ammunition and weapons production and supply. Of course, I cannot publicly disclose details about this. But it is meaningful work. I am glad to hear at the Command Post that even under such conditions, we have a corresponding potential.
Throughout the evening, I received detailed reports on the situation in Kherson. There, as a result of another Russian strike, a main pipeline was damaged which provided heating for nearly 600 homes — over 40 thousand people! Repair work will continue non-stop until heat supply is restored.
And we will restore it! No matter what these Russian terrorists and scoundrels do, we will restore everything.
I held talks today with the Spanish Prime Minister who arrived in Kyiv. I thanked him for very important Spanish military and political support. For standing together with us throughout the year of full-scale war against Russian terror.
This is a very valuable and precious cooperation. Right here, on our land, we are defending precisely those values that sustain not only our people but also the overwhelming majority of European peoples.
Of course, these values sustain Spain as well. And so we understand each other very well. Spain has become part of our tank coalition. Spain helped us with air defense. There are many other parameters of support — both already implemented and planned by us.
Today I met with a delegation from the global parliamentary network "United for Ukraine." These are representatives of 13 European parliaments and the European Parliament. The meeting topic is absolutely clear — weapons for our soldiers, sanctions against the state-terrorist country, implementation of our peace initiatives, including the peace formula.
I spoke with the President of Egypt, among other things about the protection of international law and our work to restore food security, as well as some aspects of bilateral relations. A good conversation.
A significant part of this day was devoted to preparing for tomorrow's diplomatic events. We must do everything so that they become beneficial for Ukraine. Truly weighty not only in terms of symbolism, because it will be February 24th. But also in terms of real benefit for our defense.
Glory to our soldiers!
Glory to everyone who is now in battle!
Thank you to all who help us!
Glory to Ukraine!»
