We keep working on the Ukrainian doctrine that lays the groundwork for how our country will transform. The aim is to win the war and realize Ukraine’s historic chance for growth, won by our people’s bravery. Glory to our warriors fighting for Ukraine’s freedom and independence.
The city of Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. Donbas, from which Russia is trying to leave only broken and scorched stones. Two missile strikes. An ordinary residential building was hit. Unfortunately, there are victims. Rescuers and all necessary services are on the scene. The rescue of people continues.
We have to stop the Russian terror. Everyone who fights for the freedom of Ukraine saves lives. Everyone in the world who helps Ukraine will defeat the terrorists together with us. Russia will be held accountable for everything it has done in this terrible war.
15 years ago today, #Russia started its aggression against #Georgia.
20% of Georgian territory remains occupied. Atrocities and violation of international law continue.
We must end Russia's cycle of aggression. Estonia continues to support Georgia's territorial integrity.
When we talk about our Air Force, we talk about lifesavers. When we congratulate the Air Force on their professional holiday, we thank them for the thousands of lives saved in cities and villages, in every corner of independent Ukraine. Ukraine can fight and live because of our warriors who are clearing our skies of Russian evil. And the time will come when there will be no place in the Ukrainian skies for any Russian fighter jet, any Russian missile or any occupier's drone.
Glory to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Thank you to everyone in the world who helps protect Ukrainian skies and Ukrainian life!
After today's Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih, six people are known to have been killed, including a child, a girl. She was only ten years old. 69 people were injured.
In Kherson, a police officer was killed by artillery fire... Nine people were wounded, including a child and four volunteers.
To ensure the safety of our cities, to protect the normal life of Ukrainians and our children, our military must have enough long-range weapons, enough means to defeat terrorists... The world's sanctions pressure against Russia deserves to be significantly increased.
Now there is more and more open information, including investigations by journalists, about how a terrorist state circumvents global sanctions and obtains critical components for weapons production. And, by the way, we have repeatedly provided such information to our partners in a classified regime.
We must act together. Significantly strengthen sanctions for terror. Significantly limit the channels of delivery of critical components for missile production to Russia. And we must respond with determination - determination to supply Ukraine with the necessary modern weapons, including long-range missiles, so that we can remove this terrorist threat that Russia is creating against our people, against our children.
All of us together in the world can defeat terror!
Today was an important and good day. In the morning on the occasion of Statehood Day, I had the honor to congratulate and award our defenders. Gold Stars to Heroes of Ukraine, Crosses of Combat Merit, orders of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, orders For Courage... I also had the honor of presenting honored marks of distinction to combat brigades and border units. Happy that we have such warriors.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, I met with those who save the lives of Ukrainian defenders - our medics.
On your frontline you are the same heroes as the military. Thank you for saving our boys and girls. Thank you for giving all your time and energy to restore the health of our warriors. We highly respect you and are proud that we have such doctors. I wish you and all Ukrainians victory, good health to you and your families.
Happy Medical Workers' Day!
Important to keep ban on Russian and Belarussian athletes from international sports events – not even under the pretext of a neutral flag at #Paris2024. Such ban must last until Russia's aggression against Ukraine continues.
We are not slowing down the pace of our integration with NATO. I brought together representatives of the Verkhovna Rada and government officials to prepare practical steps to implement the decisions of the Vilnius Summit.
In particular, we have a clear plan to launch the NATO-Ukraine Council at all levels. We will see its work at the ambassadorial level tomorrow during an urgently convened meeting on the situation in the Black Sea.
We are also starting to jointly prepare an interoperability plan with the Alliance.
Missiles against peaceful cities, against residential buildings, a cathedral... There can be no excuse for Russian evil. As always, this evil will lose. And there will definitely be a retaliation to Russian terrorists for Odesa. They will feel this retaliation.
All those who suffered from this latest terrorist attack are being provided with assistance.
I am grateful to everyone who is helping people and to everyone who is with Odesa in their thoughts and emotions. We will get through this. We will restore peace. And for this, we must defeat the Russian evil.
Ukraine needs a full-fledged sky shield – this is the only way to defeat Russian missile terror. We have already shown that we can shoot down even the Russian missiles that the terrorists boasted about. Thanks to the help of our partners and the air defense systems provided to Ukraine, our defenders of the sky have saved thousands of lives. But we need more air defense systems for our entire territory, for all our cities and communities. The world must not get used to Russian terror – terror must be defeated. And it is possible!

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼̈𝗿𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, Ben Wallace, tyckte att Zelenskyj skulle vara 'mer tacksam' för all hjälp Ukraina får från UK. Jag har inte riktigt samma åsikt #SverigeFörUkraina#se4ua#podcast https://t.co/97GRRRhfb4
Every year, Ukraine will only get stronger and help other free nations to protect their sovereignty and build common security... Ukraine can do it. The security of the whole of Europe begins here – with the sovereignty and strength of Ukraine.
We are fighting for freedom and independence for Ukraine. For dignity, for the right to life for all our people, all over Ukraine. Ukraine will always be grateful to everyone who fights for it. To our soldiers. To our heroes.
I held the first of a series of important phone calls - with 🇨🇦 Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau.
I’m grateful to him for his recent visit to Kyiv and to Canada and all Canadians for their continued support of Ukraine.
I spoke about the current situation on the battlefield and shared 🇺🇦 assessments of the attempted coup in 🇷🇺 and the impact of this situation on the course of hostilities.
I drew @JustinTrudeau's attention to the threatening situation created by the occupation troops at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Insufficient reaction of the world to the blowing up of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam and the attempt to blow up the dam at the Kryvyi Rih reservoir allows the occupiers to prepare a terrorist attack with radiation leakage at the ZNPP.
Partners of 🇺🇦 must demonstrate a principled response, in particular at the @NATO Summit in Vilnius.
Today is Victory Day in Estonia.
We know freedom is not self-evident – freedom must be fought for and it is worth fighting for. That is what we did in our Independence War 104 years ago.
Now we must help Ukraine win the war for freedom and justice.
