I wish you health, dear Ukrainians!
First of all, our accuracy – our long-range sanctions against Russia for this war. Today, the Defense Forces of Ukraine, our Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence have worked very extensively in the Moscow region. A good wave of our deep strikes – we provide Ukraine with this opportunity. The distance to the targets this time is more than 500 kilometers, which is also significant because the Moscow region is the most saturated with Russian air defense assets. They protect their area of power the most. But Ukrainian long-range steps are already overcoming this.
As I said yesterday, the Russians need to think about their refineries, their oil facilities, their enterprises, and not about how to disrupt the lives of other peoples - in Ukraine, or in Moldova, or in any other neighboring country. Also, our Defense Forces have worked on facilities in the temporarily occupied territory, in particular in Crimea, during this day. And this long-range capability of ours is what significantly changes the situation and the overall perception of the Russian war in the world.
Many partners are now giving signals that they see what is happening and how everything has changed, both in the mood towards this war and in the reach of Russian goals on Russian territory. The war is quite predictably returning to the “home harbor,” and this is a clear signal that it is not worth getting involved with Ukraine and waging an unjust war of aggression against another people – precisely against the people. It is important that we give such a signal and give it today, on the Day of Remembrance of hundreds of thousands of victims of totalitarian repressions – repressions originating precisely from Moscow. This morning, Olena and I in Bykivna honored the memory of all the victims of Soviet terror – victims of repressions. We must remember that our independence – the independence of Ukraine – is, among other things, a guarantee of security from totalitarianism. We will protect our independence.
I would also like to thank our soldiers today – those who are currently at the front, each combat brigade. A lot has been done this year – and a change in the balance of actions on the front line is felt. In particular, today the activity indicators are such that our active actions per day are more than the Russians. And this is a very serious result. We will increase all forms of supply for our army – drones, IRCs, shells, all resources, in order to maintain proper protection and our frontline active actions.
And one more thing. There will be a significant number of our contacts with Europeans this week – different formats, and at the leadership level too. We are preparing for communication with the Americans – we work with them practically every day, and we need significant political interstate results. Such results can be, and we are currently preparing them at the command level. Every day should give Ukraine results. Every day our strength and our long-rangeness should become greater. Thank you to everyone who is with Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
