I held another meeting of the Staff today. We are analyzing the intentions of the occupiers and are preparing a countermeasure - an even more powerful countermeasure than now. I separately held a meeting on energy and communication issues. We record the results of what has already been done to protect our systems. We are preparing new solutions.

We are already cooperating with many countries and international organizations so that every Russian murderer receives the deserved punishment.

The reconstruction of our country will become the most momentous economic, technological, and humanitarian project of our time.

We will do everything to restore every object, every house, every enterprise destroyed by the occupiers.

To endure now and defend ourselves now is to endure and defend ourselves for generations to come for all Ukrainians throughout our beautiful land.

If it weren't for Ukrainian food, if it weren't for our joint leadership with our partners, social stability in such regions as North Africa or the Middle East would not have been maintained. This is exactly what Russia wanted. We must – and we can! – not allow this.

We will not allow millions of people in the world to be left without food and water. We remember how it used to be. Unfortunately, we know how it happens today. We won't make it happen tomorrow. Neither here, nor in any country of the world on the entire planet.

Please, it is necessary to consume electricity sparingly in all regions, as before. If you don't have a power outage, it doesn't mean the problem is over. Please, if you have electricity, this does not mean that you can turn on several powerful electrical appliances at once.

This year Europe finally carries out energy disarmament of Russia. The continent's dependence on Russian energy resources has started to reduce. And it must vanish completely. And one of the key instruments for that is to limit Russian profit from exports of its resources.

Energy workers, utility workers, business - everyone is doing their part to give light again. This is truly a nationwide task - Ukraine is working as unitedly as possible in this.
