Dear Ukrainians!

Today, in the afternoon, there were new Russian strikes on Ukraine – “Shaheeds”. Since morning, there have been more than 200 drones throughout the day. And although a significant part of those “Shaheeds” were shot down, unfortunately, there were also hits.

There were also strikes on Zaporizhia – unfortunately, there are casualties. My condolences to the relatives and friends. There were strikes on Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro regions. Now there is a new alarm in Kyiv.

Tonight and in the near future, you should be especially attentive to air alerts: the Russians have prepared for another massive strike. Please take care of yourself.

The Russians are not stopping the war, although all the proposals for this are real formats, the possibilities are real, everything has been on their table for a long time and Putin must make a choice in favor of diplomacy and normal peace. Our proposal for a meeting - a proposal to Putin - for a direct and honest conversation in the Ukraine - Russia format with the support of partners - our proposal remains valid. And it is important that the war is still ended in peace.

I thank all the partners who are helping us – Ukraine. Right now, the pressure is not enough. And this week we managed to reach new agreements with our partners, in particular with America, so that the pressure will still be there and that it will be sufficient. The United States and all partners in Europe, in the Group of Seven, assess the situation the same way and are ready to continue to support Ukraine. I thank you for that.

Our teams are in touch almost every day. The priorities are obvious: air defense, anti-ballistic missiles, sanctions against Russia. We expect that the agreements reached this week will lead to the necessary results. Russia must end its aggression.

There is also something to thank our soldiers for, in particular the soldiers of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our long-range sanctions have reached the Tyumen region in Russia, this is also an oil refinery. More than two thousand kilometers from our state border. Effective.

New upgraded FP drones have been tested: now they can reach targets at a distance of 3 thousand kilometers. Grateful to the Fire Point engineers. Completely fair responses to Russian strikes against our state. The plan for Ukrainian long-range sanctions is being implemented.

Our middle strikes are also ongoing – against military targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. It is important that this really affects Russian military logistics.

And one more thing. Belarus. Ukraine has repeatedly given signals that Russia's involvement in this war with Belarus could lead to extremely dangerous consequences. In particular, we have recorded that along our border in Belarus, special equipment has been installed that works for Russia, for the Russians, and that helps the Russians launch drone strikes against us, against our territory. We in Ukraine know of four such repeaters in Belarus, namely in the Gomel and Brest regions. It was thanks to such equipment that strikes were launched against the Zhytomyr, Rivne, and Volyn regions, against our energy sector, against our railways - against ordinary cities, against our villages. Belarus has time to dismantle this equipment.

We also know about every factory in Belarus that works for Russia and works for this war of itss. Every enterprise that supplies components for Russian weapons – for armored vehicles, for missile systems, – and also the enterprise that supplies Russia with fuel for the war – this is all drawing Belarus into the war. Ukraine does not want this, and we have warned the de facto leadership of Belarus, which influences the relevant events.

In general, only in January-May, the supply of gasoline from Belarus to Russia increased 13 times, if compared with the same period last year, and diesel fuel - three times. Unfortunately, this helps Russia adapt to pressure and does not bring peace closer. It should be the opposite: peace should be closer, and Belarus should do the things that its actual leadership says through unofficial channels, so that we in Ukraine really see that Belarus is really against, against this war.

This war must end. Peace is needed. I want to thank everyone who is with Ukraine! Thank you to all our people for their strength and pride, the pride of being Ukrainian!

Glory to Ukraine!
