The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Putin's arrest; The historical decision that will begin historical responsibility - the appeal of the President of Ukraine

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! Today we have a significant decision of international justice. In a case that has a real perspective. The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Putin's arrest. A historical solution from which historical responsibility will begin. The head of the terrorist state and another Russian official officially became suspected of a war crime.

In the deportation of Ukrainian children-the illegal movement of thousands of our children to the territory of the terrorist state. In criminal proceedings investigated by our law enforcement officers, more than 16,000 cases of coercive deportation have been recorded by the occupier of Ukrainian children. But the real, full number of deported can be much larger. It would be impossible to carry out such a criminal operation without the order of the highest leader of the terrorist state.

To share children with families, to deprive them of any opportunity to contact their relatives, to hide children in Russia, to spray in remote regions-all this is obvious state policy of Russia, state decisions and state evil. Which begins with the first official of this state. I am grateful to the team of Prosecutor Karim Khan and the International Criminal Court, all in the world who helps us fight for justice. I am grateful for the principle and readiness to actually hold those who are guilty.

Currently, more than 300 children who were exported from Ukraine have now managed to return more than 300 children. Obviously, we have to return everyone. Obviously, we will continue to do everything for this. To return every Ukrainian, every Ukrainian, every child. And for the real responsibility of all those who are guilty of this deportation-from the head of the terrorist state to all performers. He held a rate meeting today.

The main attention is the battles in the Donbass: Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Coal, Marinka, Bigorivka. The main attention is our soldiers, so how to support our crews, how to give them more strength, opportunities, more weapons and protection. As always, they reported the head, intelligence, commander of directions. Head of Khortytsia General Syrsky, Head of Tavriya General Tarnavsky. It is these operational groups that operate in the Donbass.

And I thank every soldier, every sergeant, every officer - to all who acts on the front line, everyone who holds real defense with their endurance and courage. Thank you for the sustainability, for the strength and for the fact that the state sees the prospect for our defense operations, for further active action. I would like to point out the fighters of our special units today.

The forces of special operations are the 8th Regiment of the MCCO, thank you, the boys, for the filigree destruction of the enemy in the Bakhmut area and a powerful strengthening of our defense in this direction, in Bakhmut. Thank you to all our SCO fighters, who defend the Luhansk region.

Separate gratitude - our "seashells", the Marine Center of Special Purpose, for successful actions in the south, for a tangible "minus" in the enemy in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya directions, for the powerful answer that we give the occupier in his blows to our forces and cities . Thank you to the soldiers of the Security Service of Ukraine. All our defenders and defenders from the Alfa Unit, including the White Wolves and Kruni groups.
