I want to specifically thank all our employees of Ukrzaliznytsia for their truly professional and courageous work. Even though the Russians consider our railways one of their top targets, Ukrzaliznytsia is operating at a high level. Despite delays, despite strikes, and despite all the damage, we are keeping our logistics running.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan Eisuke Mori.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, with contracts for producing protection systems for critical infrastructure and logistics among the key issues discussed. The participants also reviewed in detail the needs of Ukrzaliznytsia, gas station networks, and specific critical enterprises that are particularly significant targets for Russian strikes.

Peace is needed. Energy, food routes, critical infrastructure – all of this must be part of the discussion on ending the strikes. We need a strong and fair solution, and not just for the “elections,” but for good.

“I want to thank you for your service and for all these difficult days of the full-scale war. From the very first days, you have always defended our country. Thank you, and thank you to your brothers-in-arms,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed three decrees enacting decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on vessels of Russia’s shadow fleet, companies and individuals linked to the Russian state corporation Rostec, and propagandists who justify Russia’s aggression.

The state will continue to support the Plast movement in Ukraine, which should expand its reach in communities and the Ukrainian diaspora and engage as many children and young people as possible. Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov said this at the opening of the new Plast scouting year in Kyiv.
