Zelenskyi's evening speech

--

Today, a petition on the topic of casinos - online gambling platforms - has quickly gathered the necessary votes. It's about how widespread it is and how it affects a part of society. I instructed the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Special Communications Service, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council to collect all the analytics on this issue and propose a solution next week.

And today started early - at night - because of the Russian missile strikes. I was in constant contact with Air Force Commander Oleshchuk and with Chief of Staff Syrsky. I received detailed reports. The answers to the enemy will also be detailed.

Glory to our strong people! Glory to Ukraine!

France will hand over decommissioned military equipment to Ukraine instead of simply throwing it away.

"Since we are reinvesting massively in our armies with this €413 billion plan for 2024-2030, we have a lot of equipment that is still working and that is going to be taken out of our armies. Rather than scrapping them or giving them to other countries, we're giving them to the Ukrainian army. But I repeat: there has never been any lowering of our defense model," he emphasized.

President Zelenskyi delivered a stark message to US Congress as Russian missiles were pounding southern Ukraine: Give us the weapons to stop the Russian attacks, or Ukraine will escalate its counterattacks on Russia’s airfields, energy facilities and other strategic targets.

"The reaction of the U.S. was not positive on our attacks on oil refineries," he confirmed, but Washington couldn’t limit Ukraine’s deployment of its own home-built weapons. "We used our drones. Nobody can say to us you can’t," Zelenskyi said.

The French Parliament still considers the option of sending its troops to Ukraine possible, head of the National Assembly of France, Yael Bron-Pivet said.

"In his statement,the President said that he does not rule out anything a priori. In the position that France has demonstrated, will demonstrate, and will continue to demonstrate until the end of the war, until victory, nothing is exclusive, everything remains possible. I will not further interpret the president's words, this position is clear enough," she emphasized.
