Anyone who helps Russia extend the war with it to be responsible for the consequences - the President of Ukraine's appeal

I thank you for fully supporting our efforts to maintain export grain initiative. Of course, they discussed today with Mrs. Ursula von der Lien increased pressure on the Iranian regime. His complicity in Russian terror must be punished. And we will not only take this question to the level of our traditional partners. The whole world will know that the Iranian regime helps Russia to extend this war, and therefore to extend the effect of those threats to the world that is triggered by the Russian war.

If it was not for the Iranian supply of weapons to the aggressor, we would now be closer to peace. And this means closer to the full solution of the food crisis. Closer to solving the crisis of the value of life. Closer to stabilization on the energy market. Closer to a reliable protection against radiation blackmail that Russia does not leave. Therefore, absolutely anyone who helps Russia to extend this war should be responsible with it for the consequences of this war.

The occupiers used Iranian shock drones again this era. There is a confusion. But, unfortunately, there is also a hit. We also understand that the terrorist state concentrates forces and means for possible repetition of massive blows in our infrastructure. First of all, energy. In particular, Russia needed Iranian missiles. We are getting ready to answer. But also, please note: more and more often there is a message that no carbon carrier has been published in the Black Sea for combat duty.

This is a very significant result that our defenders provided. The less the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the safer in the Black Sea. And it will be a day when we can report, which provided Ukraine with complete protection against the Russian threat both at sea and in the sky. I'm sure of that. Very rigid Russian attacks in the Donetsk region are ongoing. The enemy suffered serious losses there, but despite all the losses, he continues to chase his mobilized and mercenaries to death.

I thank all our soldiers who can withstand this terrible pressure that retain stability and heroically protect our positions. And especially I want to mention today the fighters of the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade for bravery, for heroism in defense in the Avdiivsky direction. I also thank everyone who is involved in the elimination of the consequences of Russian terrorist strikes in Kharkiv, Zaporozhye, in the cities and communities of Dnipropetrovsk, in Mykolaiv.

Be sure to expel the invaders, be sure to guarantee the safety of all our cities, all our communities. As of this evening, stabilization shutdowns of electricity are ongoing in Kyiv and six regions. Without light more than 4. 5 million consumers. Most now - in Kyiv and Kyiv region. Really difficult.

At the week, I had several special meetings with government officials, representatives of energy companies and verticals of regional administrations regarding the probable options for the situation in energy. We consider each scenario in detail and prepare the appropriate actions. Whatever terrorists want, at least so much, we have to go through this winter and be even stronger in the spring than it is now. Be even more prepared for the liberation of our entire territory than it is now.
