Volodymyr Zelenskyy

President Zelenskyy instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to develop a Buy Ukrainian refund program to support local businesses and keep Ukrainian money in circulation in the country.

President Zelenskyy launched the Made in Ukraine platform to strengthen economic ties between the state and Ukrainian businesses.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is confident that Ukraine can regain its land and people from occupation. In addition, Kyiv can bring Russia to justice for its actions.

There is a global shortage of ammunition due to a shortage of gunpowder caused by increased demand during the war in Ukraine, making procurement of shells very difficult.

Russian propagandists spread a fake screenshot claiming that Zelenskyy will sign a decree requiring Western countries to deport Ukrainian men living there to Ukraine.

Ukrainian troops withdrew from the village of Lastochkine to organize defenses along other settlements.

The issue of prisoner exchange will be discussed at the upcoming peace summit in Switzerland between Ukraine and other countries.

Zelenskiy's claim of 31,000 Ukrainian military deaths since the start of the Russian invasion differs significantly from previous American estimates of more than 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed and 100,000-120,000 wounded, the New York Times reports.

Zelenskyy said he wants to defeat Putin by 2030 and put an end to Russia's plans, as Putin has been working with numbers until then, and Ukraine wants to end him earlier.

Zelenskiy ironically said he would not talk to Putin because the Russian dictator does not have a cell phone, adding that Putin does not want to end the war.

President Zelenskyy is conducting an audit of Ukraine's army institutions and reserves to assess weaknesses and ensure that all military personnel are serving at the front.

Moldova did not ask for military assistance from Ukraine, the President of Ukraine said.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is not negotiating with its partners on the use of their armies in a war on Ukrainian territory and that Ukraine's security guarantees in the event of its accession to NATO will be based on Article Five of the Alliance.

Zelenskyy said that 10 Patriot missile defense systems could change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine's favor.

Russia's use of North Korean missiles and Iranian drones indicates that it is also experiencing a shortage of weapons and equipment.

President Zelenskiy said that Ukraine faces challenging months ahead as Russia prepares a counteroffensive in early summer and political and economic fluctuations in the US and EU could affect support for Ukraine.

Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that 50% of the weapons provided to Ukraine by its Western partners are not delivered on time, leading to losses of Ukrainian personnel and territory.

Zelenskiy said that Ukraine has a plan for a new counteroffensive, but did not disclose details, noting that fewer people knowing about these plans could lead to a quicker victory and an unexpected result for Russia.

During a press conference, President Zelenskyy confirmed that he had discussed providing Ukraine with French Mirage 2000 fighter jets, but did not provide any details about any agreements.

President Zelenskyy emphasized that he hoped that the issue of Poland's blocking of Ukrainian exports would be resolved and that Ukraine would protect its business.

President Zelenskyy said he was optimistic about recent responses from partners to provide Ukraine with longer-range ATACMS missiles, which can hit targets up to 300 km away.

Zelenskyy expressed hope that the US Congress would pass a bill to provide financial support to Ukraine within a month and emphasized the need to strengthen air defense, citing support from both Democrats and Republicans.

Zelensky said that Ukraine would offer Putin a platform for him to admit that he lost the war, or that it was a big mistake and justice should be restored.

Zelenskyy announced that about 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war with Russia.

President Zelenskyy hopes that the first Global Peace Summit in Switzerland this spring will develop a plan to overcome the crises caused by the war without Russia's involvement.

Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that 23,000 multi-storey and private buildings that were destroyed by enemy shelling have been restored.

The Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the newly created airborne units would be a powerful resource on the battlefield capable of inflicting maximum losses on the enemy and responding asymmetrically to its actions.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says there is no clear response from former US President Donald Trump or his team to President Zelenskiy's public invitation to visit Ukraine.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Minister of Defense visited the command posts of military units in the combat zone and listened to reports on the difficult situation and ongoing hostile attacks.

Last week, the intensity of shelling of Kupyansk by Russian troops slightly decreased due to the fact that Ukrainian soldiers destroy enemy equipment every day, said the head of the Kupyansk city military-civilian administration.
