Good health to you, fellow Ukrainians!
We have some much needed financial news today. First, there is another tranche of macro-financial aid from the European Union worth 2.5 billion euros. It is very important. We are also waiting for the approval of the macro-financial aid program for the next year in the amount of 18 billion euros.
Second, the United States of America has announced that it will soon provide $4.5 billion in additional funding to directly support our budget.
As for the energy frontline. Energy and utility workers in many regions continue restoration of the network. We are also preparing responses to possible new terrorist attacks against our energy system.
We are also rolling out our new "Points of Invincibility" project to support people across the country. As of this day, more than 4,000 such points have already been prepared. More are planned.
If massive Russian strikes take place again and if there is an understanding that the electricity supply cannot be restored within hours, the work of "Points of Invincibility" will be activated - all basic services will be there, including electricity, mobile communications and the Internet, heat, water, and a first-aid kit. Absolutely free and 24/7.
The situation on the frontline has not changed over the past day. In all areas of the front, the same dynamics as in the previous days is maintained.
Donetsk region - fierce attacks, constant shelling. I thank all our heroes, who courageously hold out despite everything!
Luhansk region - with battles yet little by little we are strengthening our position and moving forward little by little.
Kherson region and other territories of the south - we are doing everything to reduce the combat potential of the occupiers and eliminate their ability to carry out shelling of our cities.
