"I also thank the warriors of the Special Operations Forces, the special forces of the Military Law Enforcement Service, the National Police, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the intelligence for their active and effective actions both in the Pokrovsk area and in the areas of Kupiansk. I am grateful for the high-quality combat work in the Donetsk region to the warriors of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment. For fire support in the Pokrovsk area – my thanks to the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade. Also, for the battles in Kupiansk and near the city, I thank the units of the 127th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade. Well done, warriors! The 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade – Kostiantynivka sector – thank you, guys! And also the Orikhiv sector – the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade – thank you!" he said.

Zelensky expressed special gratitude to the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the Security Service of Ukraine, and intelligence units for their "long-range sanctions against Russia."

"The reach of these sanctions is expanding, and so are the losses of Russia's war machine. Moreover, we increasingly use not only Ukrainian drones but also our own missiles. They perform very well. I am grateful to our manufacturers," he added.
