On July 8, a Russian missile struck Kyiv. A direct hit. It was an X-101 cruise missile. It was designed to hit large military targets. Putin hit a children's hospital with it. "Okhmatdyt, one of hundreds of Ukrainian hospitals that were unfortunately destroyed by Russian missiles, bombs, artillery
"He expressed his gratitude to everyone who came to Okhmatdyt after the attack, to those who helped save lives and clear the rubble. He thanked those who did not remain indifferent, who help protect the sky, support the military and put pressure on Russia. He recognized all those who are fighting to prove that life is stronger than the enemy.
We are fighting against a terrible enemy that cannot be called human and is infinitely far from true Christianity. His essence is ruins, death, which he brings and which we must overcome. Ukraine cannot accept less than to live. To less than to preserve itself. Less than to remain human
He expressed his gratitude for their dedication to the ideals, values and our state, which he is confident will endure, as they have deep roots in the history of Kyivan Rus, the Cossack state and continue to live on in modern Ukraine.
Today, on the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, on the Day of the Baptism of Rus-Ukraine, we remember the path that Ukraine has traveled and focus with all our might on the battle that Ukraine must win. For the sake of ensuring that this independence can be inherited by the next generations. Inherit it, not fight for it. So that we can give them pride in Ukraine, not its pain. And so that no more "Putins" dare to bring ruins and suffering here
