Попри те, що дефіциту немає, у магазинах АТБ розміщ��ють оголошення про обмеження продажу окремих товарів, оскільки ажіотаж навколо них створюють продавці, які скуповують товари великими партіями та перепродають їх

I had a substantive call with my Japanese colleague @moteging.
I thanked him for his Independence Day wishes and recalled with great warmth our meeting in Tokyo two months ago. Japan has become one of Ukraine’s closest and most reliable partners, and we deeply value everything it has done to support our people throughout Russia’s full-scale war.
We followed up on the agreements reached in Tokyo across a number of areas.
I welcomed Japanese Prime Minister’s online participation in yesterday’s Coalition of the Willing meeting in Kyiv, and we exchanged views on strengthening our cooperation, both bilaterally and within international organizations.
We also discussed the situation in the Black Sea, where Russia is deliberately attacking our ports and disrupting maritime routes. Unhindered access to the sea is vital for Ukraine’s national economy and remains a matter of global food security.
Freedom of navigation in the Black Sea must be restored, and this requires consolidated international pressure on Russia and practical steps from our partners.
While Ukraine wants to end this war, Russia has responded only by increasing its ballistic missile and drone attacks. There must be greater pressure on Russia, including targeted anti-ballistic sanctions on the entire ecosystem behind its missile and drone production. To force Russia to end this war, we need both stronger pressure on Moscow and greater support for Ukraine.
I also thanked Japan for its vital energy assistance and readiness to continue supporting Ukraine’s energy resilience.
We coordinated upcoming contacts at all levels, and I invited my colleague to visit Ukraine.
Japan is geographically distant from Ukraine, but we are very close in terms of our values, shared principles, and our common understanding of how important freedom and independence are. Thank you, Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae, for your congratulations on the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.
We are constantly working to strengthen the defense of both our peoples and our regions. Russia’s cooperation with North Korea is truly dangerous for everyone in Asia as well. In light of all this, we highly value your messages about the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia and increasing support for our country and our people. Thank you for speaking so warmly about the Ukrainian people and for always recognizing the courage of Ukrainians. Thank you, Japan!
Over the years of war, Ukraine has built an almost entirely new defense industry. Modern. Technological. An industry that meets the challenges of war. And today, we can all see the results of this work – on the ground, at sea, and in the sky. Ukrainian strength that we saw today on Khreshchatyk, on the Dnipro, and in our skies is the first-ever drone parade of its kind.
Ground robotic systems – Termit, Rys, Simba, Ardal, Zmiy, and Ratel. Our fleet, which Ukraine created during the great war – Ukrainian naval drones. Sea Baby, MAGURA, and Sargan. Our aerial target interceptors – P1-Sun, Litavr, and Sting. Ukrainian bombers – Vampire, Lasar, and Heavy Shot; SHARK and LF-400 reconnaissance drones; our long-range sanctions – Morok and Sichen. And this is only part of what Ukraine can already be proud of.
Ukrainian might. What we use to protect the lives of our people. What makes this war distinctive now. And what, after this war, will enable Ukraine to become a true security provider. We have something to show. We have reasons to thank the Ukrainians who produce and use our weapons. We have the means to defend Ukraine’s independence.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
🇺🇦 Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
Today, we celebrate 35 years of Ukraine’s restored independence and honour our centuries-long history.
Millions of Ukrainians before us made this day possible – nurturing and defending our language, culture and dignity, and carrying forward an enduring desire for freedom.
But our unity is rooted not only in our shared heritage. Millions of Ukrainians make Independence Day possible today and for years to come – and for that we are immensely grateful. We honour our defenders and remember all those who gave their lives for Ukraine’s independence.
On this celebratory day, and on every day, Ukrainians have each other.
Our gratitude also goes to every partner who stands with Ukraine and works with us towards a lasting peace. And we are inspired to build a future together – a free, secure, innovative and prosperous European Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦
The proclamation of independence in 1991 was not the beginning of Ukraine’s statehood, but the culmination of a centuries-long history and a long struggle to regain a sovereign state.
Across different periods of history, from the times of Rus to the Cossack Hetmanate and the Ukrainian People’s Republic, people here had various forms of statehood and governance. On August 24, 1991, Ukraine restored its independence after decades of Soviet rule – a return to the independent Ukrainian state, declared by the Ukrainian People’s Republic over 100 years ago.
Words matter – they shape how history is understood. Saying that Ukraine restored its independence, rather than was born in 1991, recognises this longer historical continuity and the role of generations of Ukrainians who helped shape the country as it is today.
There are few things that always catch the eye – but blue and yellow are undoubtedly among them.
We see them flying over Ukrainian cities, carried by our defenders on the front lines, and welcoming those who return from Russian captivity.
We see them wherever Ukrainians come together – at home and around the world – to celebrate, to commemorate, and to express what they stand for.
Every time, blue and yellow catch the eye – and touch the hearts.
Because the Ukrainian flag means we are here – and we have each other.
🇺🇦 Wherever the blue-and-yellow flag flies, freedom lives.
Thanks to the courage and sacrifice of Ukraine’s defenders, our colors of resistance are known around the world.
We hold it high. We will prevail.
🇺🇦
Blue and yellow mean home.
Blue and yellow save lives. These are the colors that wrap around prisoners of war and civilians the moment they return from Russian torture chambers—as if to heal them.
Blue and yellow triumph. Held high by our warriors, these colors cleanse our land of the occupier and block their path—acting like the strongest armor.
Blue and yellow rally support. These are the colors carried by our diplomats as they convince the world to stand with Ukraine and take action for a just peace. They reflect the world's deep respect for our people.
And wherever this flag flies, home is there, too—even far across borders, on other continents, and in foreign lands.
This flag evokes a truly special feeling. It moves our diplomats and citizens who greet it at the doors of our foreign diplomatic missions, as well as the locals who recognize what it stands for: freedom, courage, and the fight for justice.
Happy Flag Day. Above all, happy day of everything we hold closest, cherish most, and draw strength from. Glory to Ukraine!
