We continue to consolidate our partners to make 🇺🇦 air defense as effective as possible. 🇷🇺 terror must be defeated every day and every night, in every region of 🇺🇦, in the skies of every Ukrainian city and village. When any attack by 🇷🇺 terrorists ends in failure for the terrorists, their defeats will become a source of our long-term security.
Now, in 🇺🇦, on our land, in our sky, it is being decided whether freedom and civilization will retain global leadership in this century. Decided by us, together with 🇺🇸, together with Europe, together with all our allies and partners. I thank everyone in the world who helps us!
My special gratitude on this Memorial day goes to all Americans of different times – sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, who became the warriors and whose strength turned into the strength of freedom and who were destined to show to the world that freedom will always shine bright on the hill. Let our victory, of the Ukrainian warriors, make this light shine brighter!
Your freedom stood, thanks to those who fought for it. Our freedom will stand, thanks to those who are fighting for it.
🇺🇦🇺🇸
Today, 🇺🇦 went through one of the largest 🇷🇺 attacks by Shaheds. During this terrorist attack, the most powerful strike was aimed against the Kyiv region. This is how 🇷🇺 celebrates the day of our ancient Kyiv...
Throughout its history, Kyiv has seen various meannesses from invaders. It has survived them all, and it will survive the ruscists. None of them will be here!
Kyiv and all our cities, our entire 🇺🇦, will put an end to the history of Moscow’s despotism, which has been bringing enslavement to many different peoples for a very long time. Neither Shaheds nor any other means of terror that it humiliatingly seeks around the world will save it. Because strength is in people, it is in cities, it is in life, and when life, people, and the most important cities for culture are despised, 🇷🇺 will only face defeat. And even hundreds of Shaheds will not save it from this. They will only enlarge 🇷🇺 disgrace.
🇺🇸 President Joe Biden endorsed plans to train 🇺🇦 pilots on U.S.-made F-16. Biden told to the G7 leaders that decisions on when, how many, and who will provide the jets for 🇺🇦 will be made in the months ahead while the training is underway. - The AP https://t.co/GjIYIEvyTG
The 🇷🇺 occupiers are already internally ready for defeat. They have already lost this war in their minds. We must put pressure on them daily so that their sense of defeat turns into their escape, their mistakes, their losses.
I thank each and every one who destroys the 🇷🇺 enemy! I'm thankful to everyone who, despite any difficulties, returns our land to 🇺🇦! We are preparing to add even more weapons for you, warriors, to have even more opportunities to defeat the 🇷🇺 aggressor and restore peace. I'm thankful to everyone who helps Ukraine.
I am confident that the project of 🇺🇦 reconstruction after hostilities and after the war will give impetus to the development of at least our entire region – following 🇺🇦 and all our partners who will cooperate with 🇺🇦. It is here, in 🇺🇦, that the world will see what Europe is capable of. Here, in 🇺🇦, we will have the maximum of Europe in Europe - the maximum possible of what European values are capable of, what European and global cooperation is capable of.
KREMINNA AXIS /1325 UTC 9 MAY/ UKR Gen’l Staff reports that RU forces have limited offensive operations on the Kreminna axis. RU forces were again repelled after a failed attack on Bilohorivka. UKR conducted 16 aviation strike missions on 8 MAY.
Today, on May 8, when the world remembers the words "Never again!", we in Ukraine give FULL meaning to these words. Not only to remember, but also to protect. Not only to value life, but also to do everything to ensure that everyone who threatens life, everyone who brings aggression, everyone who resorts to terror against other nations, every such evil loses. May the victory over the current evil of ruscism be the best honor to the memory of those who fought and defeated Nazism!

Thank you, Italy, for the friendship and heavy artillery - not to much the strong coffee, which has kept us going all years. Forza Italia! Forza Ucraina!
