There are pages in our history that are too painful to remember; but cannot be forgotten. The crimes that prove: the cruelty and cynicism of tyrants know no bounds. No words have yet been invented to fully describe the pain that Ukrainians have endured. In 1921, 1922, 1923. In 1946 and 1947. And in the darkest years of the Holodomor genocide of 1932–1933.
Men, women, children. Millions of innocent, tormented souls. Millions of our ancestors whom the totalitarian regime pushed into the grip of starvation and death. Cynically. Brutally. Deliberately.
Because they were Ukrainians.
How can anyone seek to erase an entire nation? How can anyone take away the very last from people—their last crumbs of food, their last means of survival, their last hope for life? It is beyond comprehension.
Yet there is something we know for certain. They wanted to destroy us. To kill us. To subjugate us. They failed.
They wanted to hide the truth and silence the terrible crimes forever. They failed.
They wanted to confuse us, mislead us, make us doubt—to forget, and in forgetting, to forgive. They failed.
And so, every year, at the end of November, with deep sorrow and profound respect, we honor the memory of the millions of Ukrainians who became victim of the Holodomors.
Today, as always, at exactly 4 p.m., we will light candles of remembrance. As long as we light this flame, their memory will not fade. May the glow of millions of candles warm millions of their souls.
May they all rest in peace.
I met with Japan’s Minister for Foreign Affairs @MofaJapan_en, Takeshi Iwaya. It is significant that his first visit to another country immediately after the appointment of the new Government is to Ukraine.
I am grateful for Japan’s consistent support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its substantial financial and humanitarian assistance, including a new aid package for our energy sector.
I also thank for allocating $3 billion as part of the G7’s decision on a $50 billion loan, to be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets.

After all, this is just another platform.
We might lose focus here.
Not the end of the world.
Not the end of🇺🇦for sure.
If you find it in you to support us here, it’s great. If you don’t, find other ways. For it’s our common fight. Something we want our world to look like.

This morning, Russia launched yet another combined attack on our cities, and our air defense responded effectively. Russian missiles—including ballistic and cruise missiles targeting Kyiv—were shot down, along with drones. In total, around 90 strike drones attacked Ukraine.
It is crucial that our forces have the necessary means to defend the country from Russian terror. I am grateful to each of our partners who help us. Timely delivery of interceptor missiles for our air defense, fulfilling agreements on defense systems, and electronic warfare production and supply are, without exaggeration, lifesaving efforts.
Every successful interception by our air defense saves lives and protects critical infrastructure. And the more successful our warriors are, the closer we move toward ending this war. This is how peace through strength is achieved.
The Russian losses on the Kursk frontline are massive truly.
The stories are 5 armoured vehicle columns attacked down the same route day after day, same result.
