Zelensky holds meeting on Ukraine's missile program

He said this in a video message, Ukrinform reports.

"Today I held a meeting on our missile program. I am grateful to each and everyone who works for it and brings our ability to really respond to Russia's aggression in a tangible way closer," the President said.

He noted that this is a matter of global stability and security: "So that everyone in the Kremlin knows that they will not go unpunished."

As reported, the third Patriot anti-aircraft missile system arrived in Ukraine from Germany, and its Ukrainian crew successfully completed training in Germany.

Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women!

First of all, I want to thank our partners for the implementation of the agreements on air defense. We have set ourselves the task of doubling the strength of our air shield, and today is the beginning of this. I thank Germany for Patriot, which is already in Ukraine. Strong news. And one more strong news: I thank the United States for another step to strengthen our air defense, our Patriots. We continue to work, and there will definitely be new solutions. 

The Ukrainians have already proved that there are no Russian missiles that we cannot shoot down. And we are doing our best to ensure that Russian terror loses. Today I held a meeting on our missile program. I am grateful to everyone who works for it and brings our ability to respond to this aggression in a truly tangible way. 

This is a matter of global stability and security – so that everyone in the Kremlin knows that they will not go unpunished. 

The second of the day. The oath of office of the new judges took place. Two hundred and forty-eight people. All of them are already starting work.

Third. Today I took part in the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Ukraine. There were also government officials, representatives of various central authorities. And in the near future, they should present to the public in detail all the proposals on how to support people, our communities, and Ukrainian companies in the face of severe electricity shortages. 

There are already amendments to the legislation that have been prepared and will be voted on. There is a government decision. There are new credit programs – completely interest-free loans for people and cheap and loyal loans for businesses. All this should work as soon as possible.

 Of course, we are also focused on negotiations with European partners to increase the volume of electricity imports. Work is also underway to restore energy facilities. Responsibility for all parts of the comprehensive energy package will be personal to all government officials. And the additional needs of communities must be taken into account.

I thank everyone who works one hundred percent for the sake of our state and people! I thank everyone who fights for Ukraine as for themselves! 

Glory to Ukraine!
