In an evening video message, the president emphasized that pressure must be maintained and Russia must be denied the opportunity to receive funds for aggression through any energy source.
In an evening video message to Ukrainians, President Vladimir Zelensky spoke about the new sanctions measures of the United States and the IOC, and also mentioned the brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which show particular resilience in the fighting to the enemy.
There are the first sanctions from the United States against companies that violated the established world ceiling on the price of Russian oil. Thanks for a punitive move! It is worth continuing the pressure and depriving Russia of the opportunity to receive financing for aggression through any energy source. There was a decision of the International Olympic Committee, which stopped the membership of the Russian Olympic Committee. Everyone in the world must respect the territorial integrity of countries and the UN Charter. If someone over there, in Russia, thinks they can also weaponize sport and the Olympic movement, then it certainly won’t work. Thanks to all who defend the principles of Olympism! And the long-awaited step for historical truth: the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. I thank all PACE members who voted for such recognition,” said Zelensky, emphasizing that justice is always stronger.
Another part of the address spoke about the courage and perseverance of the warriors fighting in the hottest places.
“Particular attention is now being paid to the Kharkov region, to the South, and to the Donbass, particularly to the battles in the Avdeevka region. I thank every soldier, every unit for their steadfastness. In general, there is something to praise the 53rd and 110th separate mechanized brigades for, 59 -th separate motorized infantry brigade and our mighty “Seventy-nine” DShV. Only now and only the soldiers of these brigades have broken that of hundreds of units of armored vehicles of the attacker. Of course, I could not ignore the results of the 55th separate artillery brigade, which will go to war in the President’s speech.
We remind you that today, October 12, President Vladimir Zelensky held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters, where three main issues were discussed.
Earlier, the media reported that Zelensky intends to visit Israel. The office of the President of Ukraine has reportedly sent a request to the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeking permission for an official visit.
