Pressure on Russia should be maintained and increased at different levels - Presidential appeal

And it is very important: NATO Summit in Washington regarding air defense and other supply for the front has not yet been fully implemented, we expect it very much, and this has a significant impact on the motivation, the moral state of our people. The recent permit for long -range strikes in Russia has helped. But Russia should be maintained and increased at different levels. To make Russia feel what war is.

They discussed contacts with our partners - with America and others, our coordinated work with them for the sake of doing what we have already agreed, and for the necessary additional strengthening - both military and political. In particular, for the sake of Ukraine's invitation to NATO is a strategic political step - an invitation that our people are accurately deserved and which can really help. I thank Mark for his help and briefing for his communication for his negotiations with partners.

Today is a very active day as a whole: many meetings, in particular at the highest level, with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Umerov in the Republic of Korea. By my assignment. Rustem Umerov also spoke with the President of South Korea, with his colleague - the Minister of Defense, as well as with the national security advisor. The number of questions is obvious. This is all about North Korea's involvement in the war against Ukraine - all aspects of this involvement. And what we can do together.

Together to protect our peoples and for the safety of our regions. Not only rockets and shells from North Korea in the arsenals of Russia, but also soldiers at the front are the globalization of the war that Russia went and which can only be stopped globally. And after the Minister of Umerov's return, I expect his reporting reports in Seoul. There was a report of the head of Syrsky. As always, all the details of the front situation and operations in the Kursk region.

The hottest directions remain Donetsk. First of all, it is Kurakhiv direction - the most fighting there, the most cruel storms. Also Pokrovsky direction, Kupyansky. I am grateful to all our units - every soldier, a sergeant and an officer who destroy the occupier and protect our positions. And one more. He held a meeting with Denis Shmigal, Minister of Finance of Ukraine Marchenko, representatives of the Verkhovna Rada today.

They discussed the basic parameters of the state budget for the next year, our financial readiness for both this December and next year. And they agreed that tomorrow I will sign the law on the state budget for the next year - as soon as the law came from the Verkhovna Rada. The main thing is that all financial needs of Ukraine are guaranteed in the near future and next year. I am grateful to anyone who works for Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who fights for our country and people.
