No one in the world is more in terrorism than Russia, and this requires a legal reaction - the Presidential Appeal of Ukraine

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! Today, we first celebrated Ukrainian statehood, and I was happy to see how many people perceived this holiday close to heart and welcomed with it, and smiled and proud of Ukraine. It seems that we had to celebrate such a day for many, many years-it is so logical. But they set this holiday only last year. And well, now - forever. During the solemn assembly in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, I presented the combat awards to our soldiers - "Crosses of Merit".

In particular, Colonel-General Alexander Sirsky, commander of the Khortytsia operational-strategic command, Major General Andriy Kovalchuk, Brigade General Andriy Gnatov, Brigade General Mikhail Drapat, Colonel Yevgeny, Mykola, and Mykola, and Mykola Pavlivka.

And Denis Nokhrin, Captain Dmitry Beregovo, Senior Lieutenants Dmitry Linnik and Anatoly Danceri, Lieutenant of Medical Service Yulia Main, Sergeant Pavlina Nikolaevich, headquarters of Roman Solamachuk, junior sergeant Oleksandr Rogachevsky.

Thank you all for the service and for efficiency in battles! Today, in the Mariinsky Palace, I handed the passports of our country's citizens, young Ukrainians and Ukrainians - boys and girls who were forced to leave their home through fighting, young volunteers, winners of the All -Ukrainian Olympiads, children of our soldiers who defend Ukraine and children. Who gave their lives for the independence of the state.

The inspired ceremony that affirms the force of Ukrainian citizenship! In such children, the future of Ukraine, in their sincerity and mind. I am proud to be president of such citizens. He was honored to thank one of our greatest friends - Mr. Lithuania President Gitanas Naused for support and extremely significant things that strengthened our protection.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in a special format was addressed by the Chairman of the European Parliament Robert Motzol - our principled friend in European structures. There were important telephone conversations. In the morning - with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. He thanked him for his prayers for Ukraine, for the wishes of victory and peace. In the evening, he spoke with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte-very meaningfully about our further cooperation.

He held the next meeting of the Supreme Commander. Four questions were considered. From what can be said in public now: they have analyzed the state of security - at this time - weapons of our defenders, the supply of assistance from partners and in general the state of implementation of the Defense Plan of Ukraine, which was put into effect on February 24. Only in the first half of this era and only in Kiev there were four air anxiety.

The Russian army struck rocket strikes in the Kyiv region, in Kropyvnytskyi, beat Nikolaev, continued a series of strategically meaningless and cruel storms in the Donbass . . . I thank everyone who reflects this terror. And I also want to thank the American senators who unanimously approved a resolution calling on US State Department to recognize Russia as a sponsor of terrorism.

You can take any day in Ukraine-today or any other after February 24, to see that no one in the world is invested in terrorism more than Russia. This really needs a legal reaction to the global level. And there is no rational reason that there is no such reaction, in particular in the United States. We continue to accumulate international humanitarian support.

I am glad that the new ambassador of the State Charity Platform United24 became Demna - this is the creative director of the Balenciaga Fashion House. He told me that the decision to become an ambassador United24 is associated with his personal history because he suffered a refugee injury. And Demna will assist Ukraine in the direction of reconstruction. I would like to remind that earlier Andrei Shevchenko, Elina Svitolina, Liyev Schreiber and Imagine Dragons.
