10. Until we meet again in the fight for freedom and dignity, we will be the continuators of our shared history and the protectors of our treasure: more than a statue of copper and steel, the freedom it symbolizes.
It’s been nearly six months of active operations in the Kursk region to defend Ukrainian territory. We are maintaining a buffer zone on the Russian territory to protect our cities of Sumy and Kharkiv from Russian offensives. I am grateful to all our warriors who defend Ukraine’s positions and destroy the occupiers.
I also want to thank all Ukrainian developers and manufacturers of long-range drones and missiles. Everyone can see their effectiveness—how our weapons are bringing the war back to Russia and reducing its capacity for waging war.
Unrest in Russia, reduced Russian capacity to sell and refine oil, and lower global oil prices—this is what is needed for peace.
In fact, I'm kind of scared listening to myself on video.
But so many words of support from you, about the fact that everything is not so bad🤭 Thank you 🫶

Zelenskyi’s evening speech
—
Our priority remains the maximum strengthening of the Ukrainian air defense. Our air defense, our combat aviation. Every night and every day during this war, Ukrainians suffer from Russian strikes. Indeed, much has already been done for our ability to defend ourselves, but not all that is needed. We do not stop working with partners so that we have more air defense systems and more quality training and provision of all units of the defenders of the sky.
And, of course, one of the key elements of the air defense of any state is combat aviation. At all levels, we must continue to tell our partners what is needed to close the Ukrainian sky - to close it from "shaheeds" and from missiles. Including from North Korean missiles.
Terror must always lose - this is the basic principle of protecting life. And we will continue to talk about this with our partners in the future - just as air defense protects lives, so lifting restrictions on long-range strikes will save thousands of human lives.
⚡️Ukraine downs 53 Russian drones overnight, Air Force says.
Ukrainian air defense shot down 53 of the 57 Shahed-type attack drones launched by Russia overnight on Aug. 11, Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk said.
