Today, two of our regions – Chernihiv and Sumy. A strategic area, the border with Russia.

I wanted to personally thank our warriors: the Air Assault Forces – the 80th Brigade, the 82nd, the Marine Corps – the 36th Brigade – and everyone carrying out missions in the Kursk region, defending our state, defending our Sumy region from the Russians’ unrelenting desire to advance into Ukraine from these directions.

I want to thank all our soldiers, all our sergeants, and every one of our officers who are fighting with absolute heroism in these areas. I’m grateful to all our people who are defending their homes, their communities, and their land – our land. Being here, supporting the state and the army, caring for those around you – all of this matters, all of this helps us preserve Ukraine and bring peace closer.
