We Are Putting Pressure on Russia and Doing Everything to Make the War Felt There, Where It Was Brought to Ukraine from — Address by the President
We conducted another exchange. 103 Ukrainian defenders were returned from Russian captivity. The guys had been in captivity since 2022 — since the first months of the war. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, border guards, police officers, and other units of our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine.

In Total, We Have Managed to Return 3569 Ukrainians from Captivity – Address by the President
First of all – our gratitude to our warriors, combat units, which replenish the exchange fund for our state. In different directions. Also, to our special services, which counteract saboteurs and collaborators. Thanks to this work, representatives of Ukraine and our exchange team are able to free our people from Russian captivity. Today there was another exchange. Another 49 Ukrainians are back home. Among them are both military personnel and civilians. Warriors of the Armed Forces, our border guards, the National Guard, in particular, the defenders of Azovstal, and two police officers.

We See What Steps Are Planned in Moscow, and We Will Act Accordingly – Address by the President
The most important things for today. Intelligence reports of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Details about the opportunities existing for Ukraine, as well as the threats. We see what steps are planned in Moscow, and we will act accordingly – exactly as tough as necessary for the sake of Ukraine. And I want to say now to anyone in the world who still wants to help putin in any way: we will do everything not only to defend our state and people, but to really consolidate the world for the sake of strong responses to warmongering or any attempt to prolong the war.

The Course of the War Directly Depends on the Quality of Logistics in Supply and Partners' Fulfillment of All Promises – Address by the President
All agreements reached must be implemented as quickly as possible. What is needed in September must be delivered to our troops in September. What we agreed upon for the following months must also be delivered on time. I thank all our units on the frontlines for fully completing their tasks, steadfastly repelling Russian assaults and reclaiming our positions. This is important. Equally important is destroying as many of the occupier's forces as possible. In the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions, the Russian army must lose as much combat capability as possible.

Our Main Focus Now, at the Beginning of the Fall, is to Strengthen the Positions of Ukraine as Much as Possible – Address by the President
This week brought new agreements on ammunition for Ukraine, as well as funding for the production of weapons, drones, and missiles in Ukraine. Air defense remains an unwavering priority. And we continue to persuade our partners at all levels about long-range capabilities. Russia can avoid seeking peace only as much as the world avoids making strong decisions aimed at Russia’s defeat. Long-range capabilities are one of those key, strategic decisions. I thank everyone around the world who is helping us bring these absolutely necessary steps by our partners closer.

Throughout the Fall, Everyone in Their Position Must Deliver Tangible Results – Address by the President
It is crucial that government institutions now operate as actively as possible – more actively than before – at all levels. More investments from partners in Ukraine’s defense production. More active progress in negotiations with the European Union as we prepare for the future accession agreement. More interaction and mutual understanding between the central government and communities. And of course, more support for the frontline and for all our people. We are holding our designated positions, and with each day of the Kursk operation, we are proving to the world that Russia can lose this war. The only thing needed for this is enough of our determination, and the determination of everyone in the world who influences the global situation.

It Is Very Important That Absolutely All the Objectives Set for Our Kursk Operation Are Being Realized – Address by the President
We are preparing important meetings with our partners. Something that can and should strengthen our positions – not only of Ukraine, but of all of us in Europe, of all of us in the world who want a real end to this war and a real joint work on ensuring that security never collapses again. This week, next week, and all of September must be productive for all of us. Primarily, this is about air defense, our capabilities on the front and in reconstruction. We are preparing substantial things.

Russian Strikes Will Be Impossible If It Is Possible for Us to Destroy the Occupier's Launchers Where They Are – Address by the President
We are counting heavily on the Patriot that Romania is preparing to hand over; I will be grateful for this step of assistance from Romania. This is something that will truly support our people, our country, our entire region. And of course, we continue to work with all partners for stronger decisions in support of our defense – for long-range decisions that would be able to destroy a significant part of Russian ballistics even before launch. This is one of the key issues of this war in general. The issue of our long-range capabilities and the corresponding permissions from our partners, long-range shells and missiles that we could use.

Together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands in Zaporizhzhia; an Important Visit and a Very Symbolic One – on the Very Day the School Year Begins – Address by the President
Today, during our negotiations with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, we talked about exactly that – about strengthening air defense, about new air defense systems, and about missiles for them. About F-16s for Ukraine. And about all the necessary weapons for our defense against the Russian occupier. Shells for warriors, equipment. Today we have a new aid package from the Netherlands – thank you for that.

Long-Range Capabilities Are Key to Ending This War – Address by the President
The terrorist state must feel what war is. We are working to ensure that as many Russian military facilities, logistics hubs, and critical components of their war economy as possible fall within the reach of our weapons. Currently, our drones are making this possible, and I thank everyone in Ukraine who is involved in developing and producing drones, as well as those working on our missile program. I also extend my gratitude to our state’s foreign policy team, who are persuading our partners that long-range capabilities are key to ending this war. With our drones and missiles, we can accomplish part of the missions. But true peace – a real end to this war – is a complex task.
