It is our historical responsibility - of modern generations - to make full punishment for aggression inevitable in order to prevent not only the recurrence of aggression against our country, but also new wars. There are potential aggressors in the world. And the world must seek justice to see peace fully secured.

Grateful to Ukrainian warriors who are bringing the war back to Russia and responding to its attacks against life. Our targets are consistently defined facilities that sustain the war effort. Middle strikes were carried out overnight, with successful hits in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. A sanctioned Russian container ship, Yanina, sailing under the Russian flag and with a capacity of more than 100,000 tons, was also struck. Thanks to the precision of our Defense Forces, it was sent to the bottom. Also overnight, Security Service of Ukraine units struck the infrastructure of three Russian oil refineries in Bashkortostan. The targets were nearly 1,600 kilometers away. These refineries process millions of tons of oil each year. Thank you for your precision! We continue applying our just pressure. Our long-range sanctions plan is being implemented step by step.

Simulators at the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School, where future Russian officers are trained. The training systems cover a range of areas, from operating FPV drones to motorcycle and quad bike simulators. According to the school, approximately 168 hours are allocated to driving instruction, after which cadets move on to training with real vehicles at a dedicated buggy and motorcycle track. The cadets learn to develop a feel for the vehicles, operate drones in difficult terrain, and subsequently analyze the mistakes they made.

As for some changes, I suspect the assault forces will lose their priority status. Throughout the war, the General Staff has taken some responsibilities from the Land Forces (e.g. where recruits are sent from the training centers) and combatant commanders. He might return some of those responsibilities and empower those components. Instead, he may refocus the General Staff on procurement, force development, and force generation, and let the task force and corps commanders lead the fight. 5/

Today, the Russians used their ballistic missile to destroy an ordinary house belonging to an ordinary family in Radushne, near Kryvyi Rih, in our Dnipro region. It was the Voronov family: mother Olena, father Artem, seven children – Mark, Dominika, Zakharii, Azarii Ilai, Federica, Emilia, and Viorika – and one-and-a-half-year-old grandson Artem, the child of their eldest son, who is now defending Ukraine. As of now, it has been confirmed that parents and three children – Mark, Azarii Ilai, and Emilia – were killed. The Russian missile struck with such force that almost nothing was left of the house… Fragments of human bodies were found under the rubble, and only forensic examinations can establish which members of the family they belong to. The fate of Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federica, and Artem is still being determined… It is a horrific crime of Russia’s war against Ukraine – against ordinary people, against ordinary life. This Russian evil can only be stopped by the whole world. No one in the world can be left to face such terror alone. And when we say that Ukraine needs missiles for Patriots, when we seek the capabilities to defend ourselves against Russian ballistic missiles, this isn’t about abstractions. We are talking about families like this, people like these, who can live if we have the means to shoot down Russian missiles – if our partners help us with interceptors. Families who can be killed if we have nothing to stop Russian Iskanders with. It is important that these people are seen by those who make decisions – decisions at the Pentagon, in European capitals, and everywhere in the world where there is an opportunity to help Ukraine protect lives. Reality speaks for itself. Protecting lives is necessary. Air defense missiles are necessary. Eternal memory to all Ukrainians who were killed by Russian strikes… Eternal gratitude to everyone who helps!

If Starlink will be allowed to use over Russia — I cannot even imagine the amount of damage that would done to the Russian army and economy. And in that case we won’t need that unrealistic amount of PAC-3. We will be able to destroy the Iskander launchers.
