Air defense systems that are in the world cannot simply be dust somewhere in the bases when they can save thousands of lives from Russian terror - Presidential address

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainians! Rescue work is now underway in the Dnieper after a Russian rocket strike. In particular, the college buildings, kindergartens are damaged. All services are in place. I thank everyone who reacts, who goes to the scenes of blows to give people assistance as soon as possible. This is the most important. It is equally important that Russian terrorists receive answers to their blows. Each time more long answers.

I thank each of our warriors, all the Ukrainians and Ukrainians who provide it. The Russian system of war, anyone involved in this aggression - all of them should feel real that aggression will simply not pass. Evil should lose. And will lose. And again I emphasize: aircraft for Ukraine is a protection of life, it is something that has to work, the air defense systems that are in the world can not simply be dust somewhere at the base when they can save thousands of lives from Russian terror.

The second for today. In the Hague - in the Netherlands - a conference on justice for Ukraine is ongoing, that is, on bringing to justice all Russian murderers and terrorists. This will inevitably be provided. I thank everyone who helps. I thank the Netherlands for the lead. I thank the whole team of the International Criminal Court. All countries that work with us at the relevant point of the Ukrainian peace formula.

And, of course, I want to thank all Ukrainian police officers, every investigator, all detectives, all prosecutors, all experts, everyone who is involved in the investigation of Russian war crimes and prosecution of the perpetrators, thank everyone who captures the evidence who helps the victim. This is a tremendous work. To date, more than 114,000 crimes related to Russia's aggression have been registered only by investigators of the National Police of Ukraine.

In every case, justice must be established. To make people feel it and that Russia is legally appropriate. We are actively working with partners on the assets of the terrorist state and related persons. All frozen Russian assets - in various jurisdictions - should be aimed at supporting the protection against Russian aggression and restoration of the normal life of our country after Russian terror. This is an absolute thing.

And this year, real progress is needed to relevant quite fair decisions, especially in US and European jurisdictions. And a few more things that are important to note. He held a meeting with the SBU, the Ministry of Defense, the State Security Service and the Secretary of the National Security and Security Service of the NSDC on the situation with online casinos. The substantive reports were meaningful.

We are preparing appropriate steps that will add the necessary control over the industry and help protect the interests of society properly. Today, however, he continued the tradition of our state respect for Ukrainian diversity. The strength of Ukraine is that we have many different communities in the people, and we value everyone, we know everyone. So it should be.

He met with representatives of Protestant churches and the Catholic Church - millions of our people who celebrated Easter this Sunday. Greeted them. He thanked the fact that they support Ukrainians, all here in our country, in different parts of Ukraine, including in the frontline. It is also important for our Christian communities to develop the Institute of Military Chaplaincy.

This is what really supports on the front: there should be those who will help the human spirit to find the necessary resistance. And, of course, we appreciate the efforts of the churches in communication with Christians of the world, so that people know the truth everywhere about the war here, about Russian evil, about those crimes committed by the invaders. This dialogue between churches and communities - the dialogue of truth is effective.
