We do our best to get even more efficient and modern weapons - the Presidential Appeal of Ukraine

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! I briefly report the passing week. First of all, I want to thank all our fighters, who are extremely brave-and in the hottest points of the front, simply by superhuman efforts-holding back the enemy. The Russian army will not change its tactics. The invaders know that they lose Ukrainians in direct battles, inferior to skills, and therefore the enemy makes such a bet on artillery and total shelling. They try to destroy everything in front of them and go to ruins.

And I am grateful to everyone and everyone who still holds the occupiers in the Donbass, in Kharkiv, in the Nikolaev direction - everywhere, where the most acute confrontation is now. During this week, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our intelligence have achieved powerful results in the destruction of the logistics of the Russian army, the rear bases of the occupiers.

And every blow to the ammunition warehouses of the enemy, by their team points, by the clusters of Russian technology saves the lives of all of us, the life of Ukrainian military and civilians. Of course, I thank my partners - everyone who supplies the necessary weapons to Ukraine. In particular, this week was agreed by the next support from the United States, which also contains ammunition for Himars. Thank you very much.

All of them are used as accurately as possible and for the benefit of our defense strategy. We do everything to get even more efficient and modern weapons. It was possible to restore maritime exports of Ukrainian agricultural products. Our ports on the Black Sea work again. Although it is very early to give general evaluations of the process, it can still be said that it is positive for both our country and all our partners. However, the key risk - security - has not yet been removed.

The threat of Russian provocations and terrorist attacks remains. Everyone should be aware of this. But if the partners fulfill their part of the obligations and guarantee the safety of supply, it will really solve the global food crisis. And we should not forget that the restoration of our maritime exports was made possible by first of all our soldiers - all who protect the Odesa and ensured the release of the Snake. These are just heroes.

During the week, the opportunities for Ukraine in the African direction were significantly expanded - there were new contacts with the leaders of the states and communication with journalists. I will continue this work next week - a series of negotiations planned. Unfortunately, we have a significant exacerbation of the situation around the Zaporizhzhya NPP. Russian terrorists became the first in the world to use a nuclear station for terror.

The largest in Europe! We will draw the world's attention to this and insist on new sanctions for Russia for creating such a global threat. And despite the fact that Russian shelling of the nuclear power plant is one of the most dangerous crimes against Ukrainians and all Europeans, against the right to the life of everyone, for some reason there is no report and even a simple message from Amnesty International about it.

Very eloquent silence, which once again indicates the manipulative selectivity of this organization. There are also new sanctions from Canada and the United States this week. An important decision was made by Switzerland - to support the seventh sanction package of the EU. The general tendency for strengthening sanctions remains unchanged and will continue to increase the price for the terrorist for this terror, a terror against our people.

I want to thank everyone who develops our state charity platform United24, and all the ambassadors of this platform - Andrei Shevchenko, Elina Svitolini, Liev Schreiber, Imagine Dragons, Demny. This week, the results of three months of work United24 were summed up. More than 6 billion hryvnias for reconstruction, hospitals, and ambulances were raised - dozens of fast were purchased. There is already the first screw purchased for funds collected by United24. It will be used to save the wounded.

It was possible to attract assistance from more than a hundred countries. One of the most responsible areas for August and September is the implementation of our Fast Recovery Rlan. What should be done on the enemy of the territory to give people the conditions for a normal life and prepare for the autumn and winter season. In total, 1060 settlements have already been released, and the vast majority of them require significant renewable work, demining, building social objects.

And I thank all our partners who have joined the appropriate work. In particular, this week the Estonia delegation visited the areas of Zhytomyr region, which helps with restoration. Estonia is the first within the Fast Recovery Rlan selected to finance objects. We work with diplomats and companies for all other areas that need support and restoration work.
