President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

It is important for us to keep our ambassadors who are truly sincere, who have truly been helping from the first days of the war. It sounds absurd when we put it that way, but it is true. From the first days of the war, they have been doing everything to help us achieve peace. That is such a difficult task. I thank you. And we cannot afford to lose you, your voices.

The Office of the President of Ukraine held a meeting chaired by Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Budanov to discuss the development and state support of the Plast scouting movement in Ukraine and around the world.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed four decrees enacting decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on enterprises of Russia’s military-industrial complex, companies belonging to the sanctioned Rusal group, collaborators, senior Russian officials, and the authors and distributors of the animated series Masha and the Bear.

At all levels, we convey to them both what we need and the fact that we know our partners are capable of meeting this need. We ain’t talking about gifts. Ukraine is ready to buy the weapons. What matters is that decisions be made – appropriate political decisions by our partners, first and foremost in the U.S. 

The President called on the Minister of Defense and everyone making decisions within the Defense Forces to align their actions with what the front, air defense, deep-strike operations, and mid-range strikes actually need. According to the Head of State, the first priority is to conduct an audit of all agreements with partners: what has been implemented and what still awaits implementation.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree awarding the title of Hero of Ukraine to Vladyslav Polskyi (call sign Teacher), commander of an assault company of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment CODE 9.2.

The first “Family Home” in Ukraine has opened in Boryspil, Kyiv region. It is a home where orphans and children deprived of parental care who have not yet been placed with a family can live in conditions as close to family life as possible.

I expect the Ministry of Defense to expand the operational scope of our deep-strike capabilities, work with Ukrainian weapons manufacturers to provide greater opportunities to defend Ukrainian airspace, and, together with our partners, expand the capabilities of our defensive and offensive operations.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented 25 housing certificates to Heroes of Ukraine and the families of warriors who were awarded this title posthumously.
