Every time I see with our warriors, I see a willingness not just to defend Ukraine, but to win in this war - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

And now I want to say to every warrior-warrior, every warrior of the missile troops and every warrior of engineering troops-you are really our support, the support of all the forces of defense and security. It is what allows everyone to be stable and defined units - to go forward, to move on the front - to add positions daily. Every five hundred meters, every kilometer that the boys pass is new operational opportunities for Ukraine, including our missiles.

And, by the way, this fall we have good, very important results in the destruction of Russian air defense systems and the occupier's combat aircraft. We will continue this work in the future - and I thank everyone who helps us in this. He was replaced in the command staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - appointed Colonel Sergei Lupanchuk with a new commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He is an experienced officer - a combat officer, a proper commander and a person who can add special power to our forces. We are waiting for new results. General Viktor Khorenko, who commanded special operations, will continue to carry out special tasks in the GRU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. He held a preparatory meeting on next week - political work and our steps together with the European Union.

We use every day to add the content of preparation to start negotiating our country's entry into the European Union. Time limits and political steps - we clearly understand. And signed an important law on national communities today. Another criterion for our European integration was implemented. Additional guarantees for national communities in Ukraine, additional guarantees for our movement to the European Union.

We continue to work further in the implementation of the European Commission recommendations. And one more. Every time I see with our warriors - with those who are on the front line, with those who are preparing to return to the forefront, with those who deserve state awards. Every time I see with them, I see a willingness not just to defend Ukraine, but to win for Ukraine. Win over this war. We are to do our own. This is our need.

I remember well who and how it was set on February 24 and in the first days of a full -scale war. I remember talking and who spoke. Who believed and who was mistaken without believing in Ukraine. It is worth being confident in Ukraine now - just like. Russia wanted Kiev - but it was forced to escape. She wanted Kharkiv and said it was a Russian city, but our Kharkiv is and would always be free. So is Kherson. Similarly, Odesa.
