Briefly about today. In all regions, where there is a need for this, repair crews and the necessary forces for recovery are involved. The most difficult situation now in Kyiv, primarily with heating, there are also significant problems with electricity. Brigades from many of our regions, in fact from the whole country, including the frontline regions, are ready to help. I want to thank Ukrzaliznytsia, other state-owned companies, and the entire private sector, who support people, for their help. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine provides hot meals in areas of Kyiv where it is necessary. Only in the past day – 6 thousand 200 people in Kyiv. 22,000 people received hot meals in Kyiv region. We are ready to increase the scale of such assistance if necessary. I am waiting for reports on all those orders for work with partners that were. It was necessary to look for and buy equipment before this winter, and the city authorities in Kyiv should act much faster now, so that at least in February it would be easier for people. Especially since everyone in the government is ready to help.

Regular reports on the situation in Chernihiv, Sumy Oblast, and Dnipro Oblast. In Kryvyi, during the day, the heat supply was restored – as of this morning, there was no heating in more than two hundred houses after the Russian strike. Kharkiv Oblast, Odesa Oblast, Zaporizhzhia – I want to thank everyone who works so that people are warm and light. Significant outages also occurred in Poltava region, Kirovohrad region, Mykolaiv region, Vinnytsia and Chernivtsi regions.

Spoke with the President of France. Emmanuel noted the challenges that exist. We talked about helping Ukraine, which we need most now. We count on the support of Europe, it is important that leaders and states do not remain silent about what is happening, do not remain silent about the fact that Russians are still They are trying to cause Ukrainians as much pain as possible, regardless of any diplomacy.

We also know that the Russians are preparing for a new strike. Intelligence provides information on this, it is necessary that now America, now Europe, now all partners understand how this discredits diplomatic talks. Each of the Russian strikes. Today, Russians killed a woman and a man in Kyiv region. People were just in their apartment. My condolences to family and friends. The child – 4 years old – was saved. I want to thank Maryan Kushnir, a journalist of Radio Liberty, a soldier who acted courageously and saved this girl. Much depends on the fact that our people do not lose their courage.

The day before, the Russians hit an ordinary civilian train with drones. There were dead, there were wounded. The Ukrainian sergeant, a soldier of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade, Vladyslav Rozhkovskyi, nicknamed Omar, was riding in the train. He was not lost and did everything he could to help others. I want to thank you, Vladislav! Thank you to everyone who is now doing everything possible and impossible to save as many people as possible, as many lives as possible. Today we spoke with Tata Kepler, a Ukrainian volunteer who helped a lot in the development of our tactical medicine and in saving our soldiers. Ukrainian surgeons, Ukrainian doctors perform amazing operations, saving lives in war conditions. This is an experience that must be scaled up and that must be supported, but not with words, but with decisions and the development of our state institutions. We agreed that Tata, together with active military medics, will give suggestions on how to make stronger training of the military specifically from the point of view of medicine: wounds, military injuries, the ability to help a brother, better and faster evacuation, how to make Ukrainian takmed even stronger. There is work to be done and experience to be shared. Thanks to everyone who is doing this.

There was a report by Major General Khmara. First of all, about the combat operations of the Security Service of Ukraine – what concerns our front, in particular the actions of “Alpha”, and what the Service does quite justly on the territory of the aggressor in response to all the strikes, in response to all the Russian evil that came to our land. I am proud of our special forces. They also talked about control over all processes in the field of military production. There should be maximum clarity, and everything that Ukraine needs should be produced exactly as Ukraine needs it. Without any chance of Russian sabotage or any internal dirt, corruption and the like. This is largely the responsibility of the Security Service of Ukraine to ensure that the processes are truly clean.

And one more thing.

When there are so many diplomatic efforts to end this war, when both the Americans are talking to the Russians and the Europeans are trying, it is necessary that all this diplomacy has real weight for the people – real meaning in the situation now. When the Russian strikes continue, when the assaults continue, it is difficult for people to feel that diplomacy is constructive and can produce results. Everyone who really wants peace must think about how to ensure that the Russians are not preparing for new massive attacks, but for the end of the war. The world has the power to ensure this. It is only necessary to use this power – for the sake of peace. Thanks to everyone who perceives the situation in this way.

Glory to Ukraine!
