President

We managed to add confidence in the direction of Vovchansk, but Russian shelling does not stop, there is a threat - the Presidential address

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! Today, in the morning - Kharkiv region. First of all, defense issues and protection of people. Conducted rates in Kharkiv: head, commander in directions, heads of security sector - GUR, external intelligence service, SBU, State Border Service, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Heads of Kharkiv Region. That is, all aspects of the situation. In detail - regarding hostilities in Kharkiv and protection of people, our positions, needs of units that protect our positions.

Now thanks to our forces, our measures have been able to add confidence in the Wolf. But Russian shelling does not stop, there are threats. Today, in particular, the head of the Vovchansk administration was wounded. Our contradictory actions are ongoing - continue in other areas in the border of Kharkiv region. And our results should be more in the destruction of the occupier. Russia tries to expand the war, accompanies it invariably empty words about peace.

We must force Russia to a real, just peace by all means. Our protection against storms and blows is crucial. There were also a report on the rate of further intentions of the occupier today - we are preparing for all options. Today, too, they have analyzed the situation in Donetsk region - in the relevant directions. Pokrovsky, Kramatorsk, others . . . There is the highest number of combat clashes, the most rigid circumstances. Of course, this direction is not left unattended.

And we work with partners in detail to give, in particular, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy and other our regions more basic protection, namely, air defense systems and sufficiently long -range weapons. After returning to Kiev, he spoke with the Prime Minister of Poland Tusk. About our needs, about Petriot systems that could significantly change the situation in the Kharkiv direction.

Russian terrorist strikes in our regions in the western part of Ukraine have been discussed separately - the threat that gas infrastructure is brought to all in Europe, not only to us but also our neighbors. We have to counteract this jointly. I also want to thank Denmark today - there is a new defense package, 750 million euros. This is the strengthening of our air defense, the strengthening of our artillery. The timely decision, thank you very much. And one more.
