In the free territory of Kherson region, more than 50 villages are almost completely destroyed by the occupier, but even in such villages, people return - the President of Ukraine's addresses

even a historical museum in Berislav for Russia-this is a threat . . . A completely deprived of the mind state, a purely state-terrorist state. Which we will neutralize. He held a long meeting in Kherson with all those responsible for the region: for defense, for the social situation. Separately and carefully considered the energy situation, the issue of recovery. In the free territory of Kherson region, more than 50 villages are almost completely destroyed by the occupier.

In some places more than 90% of buildings in villages are broken. But even in such villages, people return, and it is proof that life still wins. Today he was in one of the largest villages-the post-Pokrovsky. Once into one of the largest, before the invasion of Russia. And let's do everything that this village is again among the largest - we will do everything to restore our territories. I am grateful to anyone who helps to restore the normality of life after Russian evil.

All who, even in such complex areas, continue to work and give work, to all who help our soldiers. I especially want to thank everyone and everyone who is involved in the mine. It is nice to see when the fields of Russian and shells of Kherson region are processed again, they live again. Of course, there are few such lands now, and work for our sappers and pyrotechnics is still enough . . . But I am sure that we will cleanse our land from all the deadly manifestations of Russia. All Ukraine will live.

I am grateful to Finland, who has announced a new security package today. Among other things, these are machines for mine. Plus, of course, good things for our military on the front line. It was honor to hand over state awards to our soldiers who were distinguished in the defense of the Kherson region and all Ukraine.

On the way, in the train of our Ukrzaliznytsia - by the way, I thank the whole team of our strong railway - online participated in a meeting of the European Council, which took place in Brussels with the participation of leaders of all EU countries and Mr. President of Euro Council Charles Michel. He was very specific in this appeal. He noted the strong steps of partners.

But he noted things that, unfortunately, do not allow us to accelerate the liberation of territories, do not allow us to accelerate the end of the war. First of all, it is the supply of more efficient weapons to our soldiers - long -range weapons and modern aircraft, for which we see some delay in partners' decisions.

It is also important to move more actively in the direction of new and more powerful sanctions against Russia for terror and new steps in our Ukrainian integration with EU structures. I am sure that the partners heard the position of Ukraine. And one more. Today we have a result for which we have worked for some time. The Agreement on the opening of a representation in Ukraine of the International Criminal Court was signed.

This step will allow international justice to become even more active in investigating the crimes of the Russian military on our Ukrainian land. I thank the entire ICS team, the Office of the Prosecutor General, our partners, to all who help the work of international justice - the investigation of Russian crimes against Ukraine and Ukrainians.
