Got a nice phone call from the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance. We discussed the results of our recent meeting with President Trump in Washington - positive and productive. Russian airstrikes on our country do not stop, and air defense - namely interceptors for "patriots" against ballistics - remains the main priority. They also spoke with the vice president about the consequences of the Russian war for world markets. It was agreed that our teams will be in touch and work out everything that was discussed today. Thank you to the United States for supporting Ukraine and our people…

We continue to use our deep strikes and mid-strikes against the objects of the Russian infrastructure, which works for Russian aggression. Our strikes as part of the long-range sanctions plan are always about fair responses so that the Russian war machine loses its resources. In particular, today there was appropriate work on three logistics centers in different regions of the Russian Federation: in Sarapul, Kazan and Volgograd at distances from about 500 to almost 1,300 kilometers. In the Krasnodar region, a marine terminal was affected. The distance to the object from the front line is about…

On Radushny, the Russians used a missile from North Korea for the first time in a long time - these are the preliminary data. Of course, there will still be examinations, everything will be checked, but as of now, it is North Korean ballistics. The union of Moscow scum with the crazy regime in North Korea for the sake of missiles, for the sake of the North Korean contingent here in Europe, on our borders, and for the sake of killing our Ukrainian children. Of course, today many people in the world condemned this strike. There was much sympathy for the loss of the people. European countries sai…

Today I awarded state awards to our soldiers of the Security and Defense Forces and handed over awards to the families of fallen Heroes who were awarded posthumously.

About what the goals of the Russians were and what our defenders of the sky were able to oppose. Among the things that very significantly help u…

In the strike on Radushne, for the first time in a while, the Russians used a North Korean missile, according to preliminary data. Of course, more examinations will follow, and everything will be verified, but as of now – it is a North Korean ballistic missile.

Of course, many around the world condemned this strike today. There were many expressions of sympathy over the loss of life. European coun…

There was a report by the commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Anatoly Kryvonozhko. The Russians prepared for a massive strike a few days ago, and there is a high probability that the strike will be carried out on this very night. It is important that our partners fully understand what is happening and that the protection of people's lives directly depends on their readiness or unwillingness to help with air defense missiles. First of all, this concerns the United States and those partners who have missiles for "patriots" and can use them to support our defense. Each of th…

Spoke with the Prime Minister of Norway. Thank you, Jonas, for your constant support and willingness to work together. Informed about how everything went with us in Washington.

He paid tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham at a special memorial service in Washington. We saw each other quite recently, and it is very symbolic that Senator Graham's last foreign trip was a visit to Kyiv. We talked about important things - further support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia. We are now seeing these efforts become a reality. And I believe that the best way to honor his memory is to achieve what he fought for, in particular with regard to Ukraine. We must support this aspiration and not allow Russia to drag out this war. We are convinced that America has all t…

We talked about our joint capabilities regarding Patriots and other systems. Our teams are already working on specific solutions to move to co-production as soon …
