For this week we have added new weapons agreements to Ukraine - Presidential Appeal

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Today in Kiev. He spoke with Syrsky's head: a report on all directions on the forefront and our Kursk operation. The Pokrovsky direction is good. Every soldier, every sergeant, every officer who protects our positions. In general, Donetsk region and Zaporizhzhya direction are very difficult conditions, rigid actions of the enemy. But the stability of our units is crucial. It is all that depends on our stability.

Concerning the Kursk Operation: Russia had the efforts to push our positions, but we keep certain boundaries. During this week, we have added new weapons agreements to Ukraine, and it is not only supply - production. Each foreign visit is always a conversation about investing in the Ukrainian industry. Our industrial base is capable of producing much more drones, more shells, military equipment than allowing our country's financial capabilities.

But at the same time, there are many partners who, for objective reasons, cannot help supply weapons: they do not have their own but are able to help us with funding. Some partners also have special technologies that can be applied in Ukraine now - in defense, in our active actions. There is a leadership of countries that brings together others in the world for the sake of our joint industrial work. I thank every partner of Ukraine who has already invested in our Ukrainian "defense".

We have already significantly increased production, in particular drones due to such investments. Now in France we have talked about a new model of interaction-about the creation of common Ukrainian-French industries in our country. At the level of the ministries, this is being processed.

The Danish model is already working, when the governments of partner states are attracting investments in weapons production, and the new, French model we consider as an opportunity to attract investments in the creation of new industries. We are very calculating this result for Ukraine, and this is a personal task for the Minister of Defense, for the Ministry of Stratege - to ensure the implementation of all our arrangements.

I want to celebrate the warriors of our National Guard of Ukraine today, who fight with everyone on the front and have particularly proved themselves these weeks. The 12th Brigade of the National Guard and, in particular, senior soldiers Roman Zdebsky and Vladislav Rusenko. The 15th Brigade of Operational Purpose: Junior Sergeant Bogdan Petrenko and Sergeants Yuri Kolosovsky and Yevgeny Kuznetsov.

Also the 1st Presidential Brigade: junior sergeant Vladislav Skorobogach and Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Zhdanov. And the special forces of the 2nd and 4th detachments of the Omega National Guard Center, who are fighting in Kharkiv and our Donetsk region. We cannot call their names now: especially sensitive tasks in boys, special work against the enemy. And the result is exactly what Ukraine needs. Thank you guys, you! And I want to celebrate the Ukrainian military chaplains today.

Spiritual Fathers from different denominations that serve that our warriors have spiritual support and right advice, a light hope. It is very important that more representatives of churches and religious communities, all who work for the spiritual independence of Ukraine, joined the military service of Ukraine, are closer to the boys on the front line - especially in combat teams, exactly where it is necessary. I thank every military chaplain that serves this way with our Ukrainian warriors.
