Fellow Ukrainians!

At this time is 200 days of our resistance. Our wrestle. Our individuals’s struggle. For freedom, for independence, for the proper to be. In these 200 days, now we have achieved loads, however crucial, and subsequently essentially the most troublesome, is forward. And I need to dedicate this tackle to those that are forward. Who’re having the toughest time now, as they’re doing crucial factor.

These are all defenders of Ukraine. All those that have been courageously standing for 200 days, being the precise cause why Ukraine stands. Robust, and that’s the reason we’re free. Unbreakable, and that’s the reason we’re unbiased. Our fighters, who heroically restrained the enemy, and now they don’t restrain themselves. They usually drive the occupiers out within the north, south and east. In all instructions, however shifting in just one course – ahead and in direction of victory.

200 days of Ukrainian resistance. Virtually 5 thousand hours. Virtually 300 thousand minutes. Virtually 20 million seconds. And simply as many causes to say “thanks” in the present day to everybody who made this potential. Hundreds of thousands of instances. With none “nearly”. To say that we imagine in them, imagine of their victory. With none “nearly”.

These are all our warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Floor troops, our infantry. You already know higher than anybody else: there may be little romance in struggle and loads of onerous work. Nowadays, it’s courageously and selflessly carried out by our separate mechanized brigades. The 92nd – named after Kish otaman Ivan Sirko. The 54th – named after Hetman Ivan Mazepa. The 14th – named after Prince Roman the Nice. The sixtieth Inhulets separate infantry brigade. Step-by-step within the Kharkiv area, Kherson area, Donbas, with weapons, shovels, palms, tooth – you might be “gnawing away” each meter, each frontier, each metropolis and village of ours.

These are our tank troops. Those that forge the longer term victory in iron gloves. And in the present day, on the day of the skilled vacation, as effectively. These are the third, 4th, fifth separate tank brigades, tank regiments and battalions, tank corporations inside the airborne assault troops, the seventeenth separate Kryvyi Rih tank brigade named after Kostiantyn Pestushko. And particularly – the first separate tank Siversk brigade. I sincerely congratulate all of you and everybody concerned on Tanker’s Day.

These are our missile troops and artillery. You’re rightfully referred to as the “gods of struggle”. You ship the occupiers to the divine trial. You ship the demons again to hell. At this time, the 406th separate artillery brigade named after brigadier-general Oleksiy Almazov is doing this with particular fervor and spark of their eyes. We’re grateful to its fighters and typically to everybody whom we warmly name “our arta”.

How would one describe your jewellery work in two phrases? Correct and loud. We thanks for each “correct” and each “loud”. For all destroyed enemy convoys, warehouses, bases and headquarters. Vital crossings and bridges. The place your efforts trigger hearth and the place the enemy violated the foundations of fireside security. Folks on-line want you correct calculations and new hits, and so they tackle the occupiers in a language they perceive: “Quit smoking in all places. Smoke the place there hasn’t been successful but”.

Missile boats, artillery, minesweeping and touchdown craft, naval aviation, naval artillery and, after all, marines. And I particularly need to notice the 503rd separate battalion of the marines. In your chevrons there may be an inscription: “If that is an offensive, that is us.” In our hearts there are phrases: if that is you, that is success and victory.

These are the air protection troops of Ukraine. Anti-aircraft missile troops, radio engineering troops, air protection of the Floor and Naval Forces. You hear an air raid alert otherwise than most. Most descend into shelter. You direct your gaze upwards to destroy enemy missiles, plane, helicopters and drones.

That is our intelligence. For apparent causes, only a few individuals know your names, your faces. Your operations are usually not often written about within the information, however they’ll positively be written about in army science textbooks. Your successes are sometimes quiet and imperceptible to our individuals, however all the time painful and tangible to our enemy.

Nowadays, intelligence officers are particularly displaying themselves. The 131st separate reconnaissance battalion of army intelligence of Ukraine. Those that are all the time forward.

And we will certainly win.

These are the territorial protection forces. And we particularly notice the fighters of the separate one hundred and fifteenth and 117th territorial protection brigades.

These are medical troops that save the lives of our warriors. These are army clergy, chaplains who pray for the lives of our warriors. These are our engineers, communications officers, cyber military.

These are those that have been defending and serving the state facet by facet with the Armed Forces of Ukraine for eight years, for 200 days and proper now. I thank all the soldiers of the Nationwide Guard, its particular forces, particularly the fifteenth Sloviansk regiment. I’m grateful to all our border guards.

The enemies mentioned that they obtained misplaced, that they had been going to an train. You taught them loads. The power to shortly dress and get out of our land, and the understanding that, by abandoning gear and weapons, it may be achieved a lot sooner and simpler.

Lots of them have eternally discovered that it’s right to say not “on Ukraine” however “in Ukraine”. I’m speaking about all those that set foot on our land and stayed in it. Many will eternally keep in mind what awaits all uninvited friends in Ukraine. Our warriors.

At this time, everybody sees and notes your actions within the north, south and east of Ukraine. The world is impressed. The enemy is panicking. Ukraine is happy with you, believes in you, prays for you, and is ready for you.

The trail to victory is a troublesome one. However we’re certain: you might be able to it. You’ll attain our border, all its sections. You will note our frontiers and the enemies’ backs. You will note the shining of the eyes of our individuals and of the occupiers’ heels. They are going to name it “goodwill gestures”. We’ll name it a victory.

We imagine in you, in those that have been doing their job, risking their lives, defending their nation for all these 200 days at -15°C or +35°C, at 2 am or 6 am, on an extraordinary Monday or on Independence Day, regardless of fatigue, rigidity and hazard.
