What is happening on the western border of Ukraine with Poland cannot be perceived as something normal or ordinary. We need simple and understandable justice.
President Vladimir Zelensky stated this in a video message following the results of 726 days of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
— Only 5% of our agricultural exports pass through the Polish border. In fact, the situation is not in the grain, but, most likely, in politics. Near Kupyansk, not far from the border with Russia, where enemy artillery continues unabated, the news from the border with Poland looks simply like a mockery, — stated the head of state.
Now watching
We need joint and rational decisions by Ukrainians, Poles and everyone who is concerned about the fate of Europe to get out of this situation, the president says.
Trip to the Kharkov region
The President returned from the Kharkov region, the positions of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kupyansk direction, where he visited the 14th separate mechanized brigade — one of the command posts.
— The situation is now extremely difficult on several parts of the front — precisely where Russian troops concentrated the maximum reserves. They are taking advantage of delays in aid to Ukraine. These are very tangible things: a shortage of artillery, the need for front-line air defense, greater range of weapons, — Zelensky drew attention.
According to the President, Ukraine is working as much as possible with partners to restore and continue support.
— Separately, I would like to thank all Ukrainians, companies and partners who have established the production of weapons, shells, drones and electronic warfare, which is increasing momentum. Of course, we cannot yet provide all the needs only thanks to our own capabilities, but every month adds strength and opportunity to Ukraine. I thank everyone who works for this, — emphasized the head of state.
