We will definitely respond to this Russian strike.

And it is equally important that our partners also complement our just kinetic responses with their own actions to put pressure on Russia and support Ukraine.

Since this morning, air raid alerts have continued in many regions – the Russians launched another wave of drones."

Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure,"

I hope that I will get it. This is for me is a big challenge, one of the biggest I had from the very beginning of this war.

The land is very important. It's our territory. It's our history. It's about our houses. But the most important [thing is] not to lose people.

I will explain to you how it works. So this year we have two and a half times less interceptors than we had in 2025 first. Russia has two times more ballistic missiles per month than they had before.

This year I’m asking American partners to sell me 5%, 5%, of missiles what they have in their stocks. If they sell us 5% we will go through the winter and save people’s lives.

Putin wants war so badly that he has now resorted to yet another political manipulation with his sham elections, to the point that he was afraid to allow even a single party that said at least something about the need for peace on the…

“a unique operation”

And then, after the so-called elections, he plans an additional rapid mobilization of several hundred thousand Russians by the end of the year, plus just as many more next year.

This is the first time in Russia’s history that they no longer have a secure strategic rear. For the first time, they cannot wage war without reinforcements from

His priorities are crystal clear.

Every step Russia takes — increasing ballistic missile production, bringing in North Korean equipment, preparing for mobilization — all of this shows that Moscow is preparing not for peace, but for escalation.

The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots, the greater the danger will later be for Japan, the Republic of…

The only reason this is still continuing is Russia's unwillingness to end this war.

We do deliver entirely justified responses, and every Russian strike will be met with our response. Russia's war will be felt more and more at their own home – in Russia.

They have a legal restriction under their Constitution. But we would like to have this cooperation and are counting on it.

North Koreans appear on the territory of the Russian Federation from time to time ... At first, we were talking about hundreds, then thousands, and now a decision has been made for 30,000 to 50,000 North Koreans to be deployed on the…

Europe, America, and Ukraine have long wanted to stop this Russian war,"

Only (Russian President Vladimir) Putin doesn’t want to, and he’s desperately clinging to his ballistic missiles and drones to keep the war going. More pressure is needed."

I appeal for more sanctions to prevent the production of these ballistic missiles.

We need anti-ballistic capabilities and interceptor missiles.

We are working at every level to secure packages of air defence missiles. All our partners know what is needed and how this affects not only the saving of lives and the protection of our cities, but also Russia's attitude towards…

I received a report from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Particular focus was on the defence of Kostiantynivka, Sloviansk, and the Donetsk region as a whole. I am grateful to all units that are fully…
