Speeches

I held a meeting of the Staff. There was a report by Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. On the frontline situation and all key defense areas. As well as the operation in the Kursk region – General Syrskyi reported that about a thousand square kilometers in the Kursk region are under our control.

Our beautiful, wonderful generations and your future children will always have in Ukraine the opportunity to realize their talents, to feel needed, especially needed by Ukraine, to provide for their families, and to educate their children.

It is entirely fair for Ukrainians to be able to respond to this terror in the way necessary to stop it. With appropriate long-range strikes on missile launch sites in Russia, with appropriate destruction of Russian military logistics.

We leave no part of the front unattended. Every direction, every point of combat engagement. The Sumy region, the Kharkiv region, all directions in the Donetsk region, especially the toughest ones – Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Kramatorsk – and the south of our state.

I am proud of all our combat brigades! I also want to express my special gratitude to our warriors and units who are replenishing the "exchange fund" – by taking the occupiers as captives and thus helping to free our people from Russian captivity.

We strive to achieve our goals as soon as possible in peacetime – under just peace conditions. And it will happen.

The Ukrainian Army always succeeds when it is able to discard the outdated, to act out of the box, and to execute with absolute accuracy what was intended for our, Ukrainian, results.

And the more pressure is exerted on Russia – on the aggressor that brought the war to Ukraine, the closer peace will be. Just peace through just force. I thank everyone who makes this possible.

We are doing our best to support our units and destroy the occupier. I thank each of our combat brigades, all the soldiers and commanders who are destroying the enemy with all their might and, in particular, using our drone capabilities with precision.

I am grateful to everyone in Ukraine, in every region, who is working exactly as needed to ensure that the social sector, business and communities are prepared for winter.
