President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, informing about our soldiers' advances in all directions and talks with partners regarding weapons supply.

"I wish health to dear Ukrainians!

Today — the front. Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia. Our soldiers, our forward positions, active operation directions on the frontline. Today there was an advance in all directions, and this is a happy day. I wished the boys more such days.

I visited the "Khortytsia" unit, which distinguished itself in the battle for Bakhmut, heroically distinguishing themselves. Well done, soldiers! Then — our marines, very powerful and careful. Thank you for taking care of the lives of our soldiers. Then — "Tavria", South, frontline. A rich day with many emotions. I had the honor to award our soldiers personally, thank them, shake hands. Thank you for all your words of support, boys! Thank you for the hugs — very warm — everyone today. And thank you for your badges. This is incredibly honorable for me, I will tell about each badge separately. All our soldiers — from a soldier to a general — well done!

I presented two "Golden Stars" of the Hero of Ukraine — Captain Oleh Oliyv and Major Serhiy Dudyn, deputy commander of a marine battalion. Truly great people, thank you!

Meetings with generals. Zubanych, Tarnavskyi, Sodol, Syrskyi. Several operational decisions. Discussed the formation of a marine infantry corps again, all details are clear and absolutely understandable: organization, training, supply. We will strengthen our marine infantry and all elements of our defense forces — this is essential.

Yesterday — talks with partners, especially with President Biden, mainly about weapons supply. And today — where exactly this weaponry will give more strength, more protection for Ukrainian lives. And bring us closer to victory. This is the main thing. Our entire land will be free — absolutely all of it.

I thank everyone who is now fighting for Ukraine, those preparing for battle, on combat missions and posts. Everyone recovering from injuries. Those training our soldiers! Thank you to all of you! I am proud of each one of you! Glory to you, our heroes!

And eternal glory to all who gave their lives for Ukraine, every single one!

Glory to Ukraine!"
