"The frontline. The fighting is heavy. The occupiers are trying to stop our guys with all their might. The assaults are very fierce. The Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Maryinka, Avdiivka directions, southern directions - it's not easy everywhere. But no matter what the enemy does, it is the Ukrainian force that dominates. And I thank each and every one of them on the frontline for that!
Today I would like to make a special mention of the soldiers of the 15th Operational Brigade of the National Guard. Melitopol direction. Thank you, guys! I would also like to mention the soldiers of the Izmail border guard detachment, who, together with the maritime units, are countering Russian attacks by the "Shahed".
In total, the terrorists have already launched at least 1961 "shaheds" against Ukraine, and a significant number have been shot down. Unfortunately, not all of them.
We are working to shoot down more: to shoot down as many as possible. We are working to have more air defence systems. In particular, this is a task for each of our ambassadors, all representatives of Ukraine. Everyone should work for victory, for the protection of lives and people, and for the protection of our beautiful Ukraine!" Zelensky said.
