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 every…
Conducted the Stavka. The report of the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapaty on the situation at the front was presented for the first time in this format by the Stavka. The key directions, and special attention – Sloviansk and Kostyantynivtsi, Zaporizhzhia direction. I am grateful to all our units for eliminating the Russian invaders and repelling the assaults. The situation at the front is tough, and we will look for opportunities to increase all support progr…
He spoke with the commander of "Charter" Ihor Obolenskyi. There was an attempt to assassinate Igor today. The attacker and his accomplice were detained. Necessary procedural actions are underway. There was a report by Oleksandr Poklad in this regard. We will certainly respond to this attempted attack on Ukraine and the Ukrainian commander. He thanked Igor for his service and wished him to beat the occupiers even harder. Glory to Ukraine!
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 Krasn…
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. The alliance between the Moscow scumbags and the deranged regime in North Korea exists for the sake of missiles, North Korean troops on our borders here in Europe, and killing our Ukrainian children.
Of course, many around the world conde…
He accepted credentials from the newly appointed ambassadors of Oman, North Macedonia, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and France.
Briefed the diplomats about the Russian strike that night: there was a lot of ballistics and, unfortunately, casualties. Even during our communication with the ambassadors, Russia continued to attack our cities and communities. In such circumstances, air defense is our constant priority. Anyone who can help, whether with missile packages or anti-ballistics …
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 wor…
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. I thank everyone who cares about Ukraine, who protects Ukraine and who does everything they can to make Ukraine exist.
This morning, after the massive Russian strike, there was a report by the commander - the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Kryvonozhok. About what the goals of the Russians were an…
Signed a decree on the appointment of Oleksiy Sobolev as deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. Oleksiy will focus on the economic direction in the Office team and will work in coordination with the Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhii Koretsky, the Minister of Economy Oleksandr Kravchenko, other government officials, regional and local authorities.
Now, during the war, it is important to maximally support economic activity in our country, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, save as …
Today, the Russians destroyed an ordinary house of an ordinary family in Radushny near Kryvyi Rih in our Dnipro Oblast with a ballistic missile strike. It was the Voronov family: mother Olena, father Artem, seven children - Mark, Dominika, Zahariy, Azariy Ilai, Federika, Emilia, Viorika, and a one and a half-year-old grandson Artem - the child of their eldest son, who is currently defending Ukraine. As of this time, it is known for sure that the parents and three children died: Mark, Azarii Ilai…
Report of Mykhailo Drapaty, Ihor Skibyuk, Yevhenii Khmara and Pavel Palisa. The challenges posed by Russia's ballistic missile strike tactics and our ability to counter these tactics at both the military and diplomatic levels were discussed in detail. Solutions and technological steps, asymmetric measures that can give Ukraine more protection have been identified.
There was a report on the situation at the front, primarily in the Sloviansk and Kostiantynivka districts. Also regarding the situati…
Last night, a Russian missile strike killed parents and three children in Radushny, Dnipro Oblast. Two more children were pulled out alive from under the rubble. An ordinary residential building that was completely destroyed by a ballistic missile... In Lviv, work is also ongoing at the site of the hit to the house - they are sorting through the rubble, looking for people. In total, eight people are known to have died in the country as of now. My condolences to the family and friends... Dozens o…
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…
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. The meetings were good, there is diplomatic progress. We really count on practical results, and protection against ballistics is the first priority, a daily need. Missiles for "patriots" and our joint productions are what save people's lives. It is important that there is this anti-ballistic positive with America.
They al…
They held a meeting with Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Lublin. Many bilateral issues were discussed, including the historical dialogue between our states. He told about our diplomatic work in Washington.
They also talked about defense cooperation and priority issues for protecting our cities and communities from brutal Russian attacks. Anti-ballistics is a key priority. The security and defense of Ukraine is also the security and defense of Poland. Our cooperation strengthens both our region and…
On the way from Washington, he had a conversation with President Macron. Informed Emmanuel about the details of the meetings in the White House and the US Senate and the prospects that there are in diplomacy now. We must seize every chance that can bring us closer to peace, and we have coordinated our possible steps. Thank you for your willingness to help and make all necessary efforts.
Emmanuel talked about large-scale fires in France. Ukraine is always ready to help those who help us during th…
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 suppor…
We have new results of the application of our long-range sanctions against Russian facilities that work to ensure and continue the war.
An oil refinery and a logistics center in Ryazan were hit. The distance from the Ukrainian border is about 360 kilometers. There are also hits on the base of high-speed boats of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in our temporarily occupied Crimea. Long-range sanctions were also applied to an oil refinery in the Perm region, as well as to an export te…
Today in Washington we had a big meeting with representatives of both parties in the Senate - more than 60 senators were present. Thank you for this support and high assessment of the results of our soldiers at the front and Ukrainian capabilities to fairly respond to Russia's attacks on our people. Many topics were discussed, and above all, anti-ballistic protection. Thank you for your willingness to help.
It is symbolic that today, on the day of farewell to Senator Lindsey Graham, a procedural…
I met with the team of the defense company Lockheed Martin - one of the strongest enterprises in the United States, with which we have been cooperating for a long time. It is Lockheed Martin that produces ATACMS, HIMARS, F-16 and missiles for Patriot systems.
Today we discussed an even greater development of our cooperation - joint production and exchange of technologies. Ukraine has much to share with those who help us protect life. We talked about our joint capabilities regarding Patriots and …
Every year on these days, we in Ukraine honor the memory of our people killed in Russian captivity. On the night of July 28-29, the Russians killed our people in Olenivka - cruelly, vilely, absolutely cynically. More than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war died, more than 100 were wounded. And this is one of those war crimes that shows what Russia really is. It is a state that despises life 100 percent, an absolute evil that cannot help but kill.
We must always remember who we are dealing with. We mu…
During the meeting with Alexander Stubb, we exchanged details of our meetings in America and discussed the current prospects in diplomacy. It is obvious that Russia is suffering great losses on the battlefield, and the situation in the Russian economy is becoming more difficult - Alex noted our successes in long-range sanctions. At the same time, we are doing everything to ensure that there is more protection for Ukrainian men and women from Russian attacks. I appreciate your detailed understand…
Nice meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office. Thank you for everything we do together to protect the lives of Ukrainians and achieve peace. First of all, I expressed our condolences to President Trump in connection with the death of Lindsey Graham. He was a true friend of Ukraine.
Discussed with the President licenses for the production of interceptors for the "patriots" and some other ideas that could help. They also talked about diplomacy - it is important to activate the diplomatic pr…
Already in the United States of America. The schedule includes meetings with President Trump, his team and those who can support our defense. The number one priority is anti-ballistics and strategic cooperation with America. Peace must become closer.
Of course, on behalf of all of Ukraine, we will honor the memory of Lindsey Graham and, together with everyone at the ceremony in Washington, we will remember his efforts for the sake of security and freedom in the Euro-Atlantic region and other reg…
During a visit to the Portsmouth naval base, together with the British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, they climbed onto the deck of the mine countermeasures ship "Cherkasy". Ukraine received this ship from Britain in January 2023. In total, five Ukrainian mine countermeasures ships are stationed at the Portsmouth naval base: "Melitopol", "Mariupol", "Genichesk", "Cherkasy" and "Chernihiv". Until the end of the war, they will be based here, and later they will be able to carry out the task of demin…
Together with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Andy Burnham, they talked with Ukrainian and British sailors in Portsmouth. They have just completed the joint multinational training Sea Breeze. It is very important that our units showed a good level of training in maritime demining. Our state is getting closer and closer to NATO countries, and, undoubtedly, our Navy and Armed Forces in general add to our common security in Europe with their knowledge and skills. Thank you to our soldiers for …
British Naval Base Portsmouth. Today, the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth held the first meeting with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Andy Burnham. We really appreciate that our team's visit to Britain is the first since Andy Burnham took office. This is an important signal of support, and the Prime Minister assured that it remains unchanged.
We discussed our defense. It is important for Ukraine to have sufficient capabilities to protect life both in the sky and at sea. They…
Arrived in Great Britain. The plan includes meetings with Prime Minister Andy Burnham, as well as with our soldiers who are currently in Britain and, in particular, took part in the Sea Breeze exercise.
During the years of full-scale war, we built the strongest relations in the entire history of cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain. A key priority is air defense, maritime security and joint defense production, our cooperation that strengthens both countries. We appreciate that we can al…
This night, our long-range sanctions worked in the Rostov region. An export terminal approximately 250 kilometers from the front line was hit. Also, deep strikes were used on oil facilities in the Yaroslavl region and the Udmurt Republic, which is 1,300 kilometers from the state border of Ukraine. The long-range sanctions plan is being implemented and we are reducing Russia's ability to finance the war.
Thanks to our soldiers of the Defense Forces of Ukraine for their accurate work there, which …
Every year on this day, we thank all our medical workers: doctors, combat medics, nurses and brothers, paramedics, paramedics, all emergency medical workers, all those who work in hospitals, intensive care units, operating rooms, stabilization centers and front-line medical facilities.
Our doctors are always nearby. They rescue our soldiers after injuries, help civilians, support those who survived Russian shelling, work on the rehabilitation of our people, bring them back to life after illnesse…
I had a very good telephone conversation with the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. I hope we will have a productive bilateral meeting during which we will discuss a wide variety of issues. We have done a lot together with Kir, and we need to continue, to open a new page in our relationship. For example, Drone Deal. I want to build a large factory in the UK based on new technologies and share them with our partners. We are ready to share all our experience with Great Britain. I hope the UK wi…
PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles are not offensive missiles. We found money in Europe to buy them in the US, but we don't have enough of these missiles. This is a problem because the sanctions against Russian military production have not been sufficient and they may increase the production of ballistic missiles. That is why we need to provide air defense as soon as possible. There is a shortage due to the situation in the Middle East. I am trying to solve this issue together with Europeans, Americans an…
Putin is not ready to stop this war. There are intelligence reports that he is preparing for mobilization. He wants to do it after the Duma elections on September 21. He wants to increase mobilization. Not openly, because he is afraid of his society, but he will do it in early October, if we do not create problems for him with logistics, weapons, gasoline, diesel and if our partners do not introduce total sanctions for his aggression.
This will be a big problem, because he expects to mobilize fr…
Held a meeting on deep strikes. Ukraine's long-range sanctions plan against Russia for this war is being implemented in accordance with set priorities.
The strike distances are already more than 3,000 kilometers, and our ability to operate at greater distances continues to be built up. The presence of the strategic depth of the rear, which has long been a Russian advantage, is now becoming a special problem for the political and military leadership of Russia, since the majority of the Russian ai…
The Russians continue to "defeat" ordinary civilian objects. Absolutely cynical drone strike on an ordinary supermarket in Chernihiv. They just hit people without any military sense. As of now, thirteen people are known to be injured. Unfortunately, there are two dead. And among them is a child. My condolences to family and friends. All the necessary services are now working on the spot and are providing assistance to people.
They also hit Zaporizhzhia with aerial bombs. One person was killed an…
On the eve of the professional holiday, he honored our medical workers with state awards and handed over awards to the families of deceased medics who received awards.
Today, Ukrainian doctors are an example for all of us and for the whole world - your steadfastness, your dedication to the cause. Despite the extremely difficult conditions, the constant colossal workload, you continue to work, and every day of your life is the saved lives of Ukrainians, and it is the development of our medicine.
…
All the necessary services were involved at the site of the impact drone hitting residential buildings in Kharkiv. Unfortunately, one person died, nine others were injured, including two children. My condolences to family and friends. The units of the State Emergency Service continue to eliminate the fire of a normal construction hypermarket in Kryvyi Rih. In total, the Russians launched 8 missiles and 136 drones of various types over Ukraine that night. Many targets were shot down, but, unfortu…
We have comprehensive intelligence reports on Russia's plans for the fall. What is not in Russia's plans is peace. Unfortunately, not yet. Putin is preparing the conditions for expanding mobilization. His casualty figures speak for themselves. In less than seven months this year, 221,000 people have joined the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. During the same period, Russian casualties have amounted to nearly 225,500, among them 131,000 killed and almost 93,000 wounded. A significant share of t…
I instruct intelligence to pass on to our partners the information we have about Russia's new aid to the Iranian regime. Since the beginning of July, we have been recording active satellite surveying by Russia of the territory of the Gulf countries and the American military facilities located there. In the future, such pictures end up in Iran. And at the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russian photographs of objects and strikes by Iranian forces - a correlation both on the eve of…
Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea: they have been preparing to receive them in the Voronezh region since June. North Korea is also preparing to hand over new ballistic missile launchers to Russia.
This is a threat not only for Ukraine. Russia helps North Korea learn about war, it improves their weapons - it gives them experience in the real use of weapons. All of this is a threat to anyone in Asia who is within range of North Korean missiles.
From the evening address…
Daily reports from our Sumy region and other regions of Ukraine about the consequences of Russian strikes on ordinary agricultural enterprises and bread production. This is all a deliberate Russian tactic to hit the ground. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine should inform all partners and representatives of international organizations about the consequences of Russian terror tactics against ports and the agricultural sector.
It was already in the 22nd year, when food security in various …
We have thorough intelligence reports on Russian plans for the fall. What is not there - in Russian plans - is peace. Unfortunately. Not yet. Putin is preparing the conditions for the expansion of mobilization. The numbers of his losses speak for themselves. In less than seven months of this year, 221,000 people joined the ranks of the Russian armed forces. While Russian losses in the same period amounted to almost 225,500, and of them 131,000 were killed, almost 93,000 were wounded, and a signi…
Ukraine continues to apply long-range sanctions in response to Russian strikes. This night, soldiers of our Defense Forces hit targets working for this war in various regions of Russia.
This is again the enterprise in Kirov, from where components are supplied for the means by which Russia inflicts its blows on our people. The distance from the state border of Ukraine is about 1,200 kilometers. Also a refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, a fuel and lubricant warehouse in Ros…
More than ten ordinary residential buildings were damaged during the Russian shelling of Sloviansk in the evening. Unfortunately, three people died. In Sumy, the Russians also killed three people with a "shaheda" strike and a repeat FPV-drone strike at the New Post office. My condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased. They could not help but know that all these are civilian objects. A high-rise building was hit by a drone in Kharkiv. They burned down an ordinary goods market in Za…
We know from our intelligence and our partners that the Russians have readied missiles for a new massive attack on Ukraine. The strike may take place today – we have preliminary information that it could happen within the next 48 hours. Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts.
We do expect understanding from our partners – air defense is the first priority where partners can help us. Every agreement must be carried out – and carried out promptly. Ukraine's Ministry of…

We very much expect understanding from partners. Air defense is the first priority that partners can help us with. All agreements must be carried out - carried out promptly. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, all our diplomats must act faster,…
Defense, economic and diplomatic challenges and tasks for Ukraine for August and the following months of the year were discussed. Russia is currently carrying out several targeted terrorist operations against Ukraine, against our infrastructure. There are challenges in the field of energy and the fuel market, and in the agrarian field and in relation to our grain export capacities. The direction of sky protection needs more practical ideas, acceleration of projects that are in the works.
It is i…
The parameters of the further work of the NSDC of our country and the updating of its principles were defined. Rustem Umyerov will focus on communication with partners, negotiations, promotion of security cooperation and development of mutual relations between the intelligence communities of Ukraine and partners and the implementation of our programs such as Drone Deals and the Ukrainian Anti-Ballistic Program "Freya". Taking into account the experience of Ihor Klymenko in the system of the Mini…
