I'm Grateful to Everyone Who Is Truly Giving Their All to Ensure Our Donetsk Region Stands Firm - Address by the President

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

I started this day in the Donetsk region, together with our warriors, together with Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi and the new Commander of the Joint Forces, General Hnatov. Today, I officially introduced Andriy Hnatov to all those responsible for defense in the Donetsk region. He is a young man, but his knowledge of the frontline and experience are exactly what is needed. General Hnatov's task is clear - to destroy the occupier and, very importantly, to save as many lives of our warriors as possible.

Together with the Commander-in-Chief, we listened to the reports directly from the positions. I was pleased to personally visit and thank our 110th and 47th brigades - absolutely heroic and efficient men. I thanked our combat medics, the men and women who do the most important work - stabilizing the wounded, saving lives, providing maximum support. It is very touching to see such dedication and willingness to help.

Here in the Donetsk region, I held a detailed meeting on security and support for the people. We addressed many issues - ensuring the essentials of life such as water, social issues, evacuation, assistance for defense, and the restoration of housing. I am grateful to everyone who is truly giving their all to ensure our Donetsk region stands firm. There will be a separate conversation in Kyiv, particularly with officials who must be here and in other areas near the frontline - in difficult communities where people need immediate solutions. Solutions that simply cannot be seen from Kyiv. I was surprised to learn that some relevant officials have not been here for six months or more. There will be a serious conversation, and I will draw appropriate conclusions regarding them.

Glory to Ukraine!
