Today is the Day of Dignity and Freedom. We remember the ultimate price paid for Ukraine’s freedom and we do not forget all those throughout different times who fought for Ukraine, becoming a symbol of dignity for the world.

Thanks to our people and our nation’s unwavering desire to secure Ukraine’s freedom and independence, our state will forever remain on the political map of the world—always free, always sovereign.

Today's Russian strikes on Kharkiv are yet another example of Russian madness—there is no other way to describe it. Only insane people like Putin are capable of killing and terrorizing people in such heinous ways.

When we tell world leaders that Ukraine requires adequate air defense protection, that true decisiveness is required to ensure the effective protection of our people's lives and that Russian terrorists cannot even approach our borders, we are literally talking about how not to allow such terrorist strikes. I thank all leaders who truly hear us and understand that every decision in support of Ukraine is about protecting and saving lives.

Of course, if we had more adequate and modern air defense systems and aviation, the Russian air fleet would be defeated in the same way that their Black Sea Fleet was. And Russian terror would simply be impossible. Shooting down Russian combat aircraft, missiles, and drones is genuine peacekeeping.
