We will press on Russia even stronger, because only force can be closer peace - the President's address

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! Today, first of all, gratitude to our educators. All Ukrainian teachers, teachers, everyone who depends not only on the work of schools or universities in Ukraine, but in fact - the next decades of our people, the future of Ukrainian children. And in spite of all millions of Ukrainian students, our students receive education, receive a profession.

In most of our country - offline, in normal mode, and it is important - that children can gain not only knowledge, but also all the necessary social skills, ability to communicate. I want to thank everyone in the system of our education who treats the children with real respect.

I want to thank every teacher, every teacher who supports children and when they are difficult when they are mistaken, and when the first success comes - so that children understand how not to stop, how to achieve even more results. I also want to thank all community leaders in Ukraine, the regional authorities-to anyone who really seeks how to support school, support vocational education, and support the university in this extremely difficult time.

Special thanks to those who are usually not mentioned, but without whom it is impossible to imagine the learning process. Author teams, publishers who write, which prints Ukrainian textbooks, educational literature in general - thank you all. The education system always depends on many people who do their business daily, and thanks to this our state, our society can preserve and live and pass Ukrainian culture from generation to generation and become stronger.

He held a meeting today with the head of the government Denis Shmigal on our work over the next weeks and communication with partners. He also spoke with Syrsky's head. There was a report on the current situation on the front. Pokrovsky direction, Kurakhiv, Lymansky. The head with other soldiers, with the representatives of the Ministry of Defense next week, will work with our partners on the details of the Victory Plan - military plan and strategic security.

I sent our representatives to Washington, the chief of the General Staff of Bargilevich and Viceremier Stephanishin. There was also a report on the Kursk operation. Today - two months of our hostilities in the Kursk region. And this is a very important stage of war. What has helped greatly help our country. Ukrainians have proven that they can squeeze the war in Russia.

And with sufficient support of partners, we will be able to press on Russia exactly as it should be felt in Russia that the war will not give them anything.   And, of course, I want to thank all our boys - every unit who is doing everything to replenish the exchange fund for Ukraine. Our Kursk operation gave one of the largest contributions to the exchange fund for the release of Ukrainians from captivity. This is important. We will press on Russia even more, because only force can be closer peace.
