Dear Ukrainians!
Currently, a rescue operation is underway in the Dnipro region after a missile strike. Ordinary civilian buildings have been damaged: an apartment building, a shop in the village of Tsarychanka. So far, we know of four people killed by this Russian strike. I express my deepest condolences.
Today, the Russians continued their most heinous terror against the residents of Kherson – against ordinary people. A drone drop on a bus. Four people have been wounded.
And this happens almost every day. Ukraine defends itself against this absolutely inhuman pressure. I am grateful to everyone who helps us go through all this, defend ourselves against terror, and save people’s lives.
This week, we can highlight the contribution of Lithuania: a new batch of military aid. Arms, including ammunition, spare parts for armored vehicles. As well as the Netherlands – I am very grateful for the Patriot launchers. The United States is preparing a strong and important military package worth USD 725 million. This is something that will significantly support our guys at the front. We also see the willingness of the Nordic and Baltic states to increase investments in our defense industry, particularly in the production of our domestic drones. I am grateful for this!
Norway has decided to provide more financial support to Ukraine in the coming year, and this boosts our confidence, over three billion. There is a decision from Luxembourg to provide funds for arms procurement for our Ukrainian Defense Forces. We also appreciate the decision by the United Kingdom to impose sanctions on the Russian shadow tanker fleet. This is what keeps the entire world on the right course towards justice. Towards making Russia feel accountable for this war and its consequences, and towards compelling Russia to make peace. The world has the power to make this happen.
