President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, speaking about talks with the presidents of Brazil and Switzerland and the current situation on specific battlefronts.

"I wish health to all dear Ukrainians!

A brief report on today's day.

Just spoke with the President of Brazil. A useful conversation. Renewing contacts between our countries at the highest level.

I informed about Russia's attacks against our people, about killing children, about strikes on our civilian infrastructure.

Thanked Brazil for supporting our resolution for peace and territorial integrity for Ukraine.

Discussed diplomatic efforts that could stop Russian aggression and bring calm to our country, the region, and the entire world. Particularly, international efforts to implement our peace formula.

Spoke today with the President of Switzerland as well. This is our first conversation with the new president.

Thanked for the support package for Ukraine, for our people. Discussed further bilateral cooperation and possible interaction on international stages. Heard that Switzerland is interested in implementing our peace formula. This is a very good signal.

Conducted a meeting of the General Staff — solely about front-line and security situation.

The Chief Commander gave an overall report. There was an intelligence briefing.

In detail — from specific battlefronts, by commanders of our military units.

OSUV "Khortytsia" — key attention to Bakhmut.

OSUV "Tavria" — discussed Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya directions. There was a detailed report by General Tarnavskyi.

Today's vicious Russian rocket attack on Zaporizhzhia will be our response both militarily and legally. The occupier will inevitably feel our strength. The strength of justice in every sense of the word.

And I want to thank all our rescuers who have been clearing debris from a building since last night, whose entrance was destroyed by a rocket.

Managed to rescue 11 people, over 70 received help.

On the list of casualties so far two people. My condolences to their families!

OSUV "Odessa" — report on the situation on the Southern direction, especially regarding Kherson and Kherson Oblast.

Of course, we do not neglect our northern border.

Commanders perfectly understand that their task is to suffocate the fire of terrorists. And we constantly work with partners on increasing the range of our capabilities.

Signed several decrees today regarding awarding our defenders. In total, 847 defenders were awarded state honors this day.

Soldiers of our mechanized brigades, tankers, artillerymen, marines, intelligence officers, air force soldiers, special operations forces, territorial defense, National Guard, National Police, border guards, employees of the State Emergency Service and State Border Guard Service.

Today, the number of our defenders whose bravery and effectiveness have been recognized with state honors is already over 40 thousand. I thank everyone who defends our country!

Thank you to all who are constantly teaching Russia that Ukraine cannot be broken.

We will stand firm. We will win. And hold accountable all Russian terrorists.

Glory to our soldiers!

Glory to Ukraine!»
