President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, informing about the return of 45 more of our soldiers from Russian captivity and about the country's participation in the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in the United Kingdom.

"I wish you good health, dear Ukrainians!

Today is an important day for our soldiers, today it is the Day of Ukrainian Infantry.

This professional holiday of defenders and defenders always deserves special attention.

The largest component of land forces. Those whose resilience is most crucial for defense. Those whose effectiveness is particularly important.

I had the honor to greet our infantrymen today, to award state honors to fighters and honorary distinctions to our brigades for courage and bravery. The 10th Separate Mountain-Storm Brigade, the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 56th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade... Thank you, soldiers, for your effectiveness! I thank each one who has the honor of serving in Ukrainian infantry!

Today I handed over the Order "Golden Star" to the family of our hero - Captain Valeriy Glebov. He fell in battle. He was the commander of a motorized infantry company of the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade "Cold Gorge".

This badge, the Badge of Hero of Ukraine, I received from his daughter Victoria. I will cherish it. It is a great honor for me.

Today our team managed to return 45 more of our soldiers from Russian captivity. 42 defenders of Ukraine and three female defenders. They all defended "Azovstal". National Guard members. Thirty-five privates and sergeants, ten officers.

We will bring back and we will bring home all our people from Russian captivity! I thank the team that deals with exchanges. Budanov, Yermak, Ussov, Maliuk, Lubinec. Thank you, boys!

Today I met representatives of the state of Utah - one of the strongest states in America. We discussed our cooperation, and this is a good example of how a specific state can help defend freedom and people. Humanitarian support, assistance in reconstruction, political interaction. We have enough opportunities to work together for the common interests of Ukrainians and Americans.

And one more thing. Today the head of government of Ukraine and First Lady of Ukraine represent our country in the United Kingdom, where the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla took place.

On behalf of all the Ukrainian people I congratulate Their Majesties - true friends of Ukraine - on this historic event that marks a new era for British monarchy. I wish King Charles III long years of successful reign, and to the people of the United Kingdom - prosperity and joint victories with us.

It was an honor for me to meet His Majesty personally in London, I remember our conversation, I remember his genuine emotion towards Ukraine and Ukrainians. And thank you for your support! Thank you all British!

Thank you everyone who helps defend life and freedom!

Glory to all our soldiers who are now in battle! Glory to our wonderful people!

Glory to Ukraine!"
