This very busy day has come to an end. Today, from the very morning, I had time to listen to reports from the front, to congratulate Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny on his birthday. Then a prayer with His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew for the victims of the war.

Security talks with partners – the PM of the Netherlands and Portugal. Finally, a meeting with our heroes – the defenders of Mariupol and Azovstal. We've returned them home. I introduced the new commander of the National Guard. And I honored by name all the heroes of this war – of our full-scale defense, all those whose bravery we can talk about now.

At the end – Lviv, a joint prayer for victory, for our soldiers, for our state. Thank you to everyone who fights for Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who defends Ukrainians and brings our victory closer!
