I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
I have just had a meeting with the German Minister of Defense, and today he visited not only Kyiv, but also the regions of our country to support our warriors and all our people. I am grateful for this.
We have a new powerful package of support from Germany – defense support, one billion three hundred million euros, and, among other things, this package includes strengthening of our air defense, namely the production of new IRIS-T systems and missiles for air defense. Thanks to this, our cities, thousands of lives of our people will be saved from Russian terror. It is very important that this package also includes the artillery we need – a solid package indeed. Germany is among the leaders in helping our defense, our state and in preserving peace throughout Europe.
We discussed with Minister Boris Pistorius the situation on the battlefield today, our cooperation, in particular in joint arms production – in everything that will help protect both Ukraine and our entire Europe.
Today, President of the European Council Charles Michel and President of Moldova Maia Sandu visited Kyiv as well. On the tenth anniversary of the beginning of Maidan, this is especially symbolic. The main topic was our integration into the European Union, of both Ukraine and Moldova. Our country is doing everything necessary to actually start accession negotiations. All the decisions we had to make have already been made. And now we will even adopt the decisions that were supposed to be made by spring, that is, according to the schedule after the EU’s political decision to start negotiations. Ukraine has an absolutely clear position – to implement everything and be fully prepared for the start of negotiations, because for us it is all very concrete: every success of our country adds confidence and motivation to our people, to all those who defend Ukraine and help us.
Today we have discussed the progress we are making, and of course it is very important that the European Union fulfills its promise by making a decision for Ukraine and giving us a start to negotiations. I am grateful to Mr. President of the European Council Charles Michel and all partners in Europe for their support – now is the time to strengthen solidarity.
It was a good meeting with the President of Moldova – we discussed the whole range of our relations. We focused, of course, on how we can enhance our economies and our security. We talked about our exports, about cooperation in the Ukraine-Moldova-Romania triangle. I thank you, Maia, Madam President, for your sincerity and will to strengthen our relations. Ukraine and Moldova together – together with all our partners – can add growth and social justice to our countries and to our entire region.
And one more thing.
Today, here at the Mariyinsky Palace, I have honored our paratroopers with state awards - it is their professional day, the Day of the Air Assault Forces of Ukraine. Our strong warriors, our powerful combat brigades... I thank every warrior for everything you do for Ukraine and Ukrainians, I thank all the commanders who take care of the soldiers’ lives, I thank everyone who helps to protect our country and people and who brings the expulsion of the occupiers closer.
The Ukrainian people know how to achieve their goals. When we all fight for this – for the sake of Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine!

Address by the President of Ukraine on the occasion of the Day of Dignity and Freedom
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Official website
21 November 2023 - 09:01
https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/zvernennya-prezidenta-ukrayini-z-nagodi-dnya-gidnosti-ta-svo-87165
Dear Ukrainian people!
European people!
Today we celebrate the Day of Dignity and Freedom. It is a public holiday established in honor of the beginning of two revolutions – the Revolution of 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity 10 years ago.
10 years ago, we started a new page in the struggle. 10 years ago, Ukrainians launched their first counteroffensive. Against lawlessness, against the attempt to deprive us of our European future. Against our subjugation.
10 years ago, people united not only against something, but above all for themselves. Everyone for everyone. All those who after the arbitrariness of force felt that they are also being beaten, that they are also hurt, that these are blows to justice and truth, to freedom, to our common tomorrow. What will it be like if we remain silent, swallow it, and fear instead of fighting?
And then, in fact, the first victory in today’s war took place. The victory of non-indifference. The victory of courage. The victory of the Revolution of Dignity. The victory of people’s resistance, civil society, the feat of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes and all those who fought for freedom in the capital and other regions.
Our people have a long way behind them, which we have already passed. Behind me today are the flags of Ukraine and the European Union. And today we have the right to say: this is not just an adornment of the square, a decoration, a fiction, this is a real symbol of Ukraine’s inseparability from Europe, the right to which the Ukrainian nation and the Ukrainian state have been proving all this time.
Year after year, step by step, we do everything to ensure that our star shines in the circle of stars on the EU flag, which symbolizes the unity of the peoples of Europe. The star of Ukraine.
20 years ago it was a romantic dream, 10 years ago it was an ambitious goal, and today it is a reality in which it is no longer possible to stop our progress and completion of all mandatory stages. Therefore, our candidate status and further accession negotiations should certainly result in Ukraine’s full membership in the EU. And we are doing all this despite the war. When our people are defending themselves and Europe right now. Because we have dignity and we will not allow our freedom to be taken away from us. Because we have to protect our freedom in order not to lose our dignity. Because we know and remember one of the important wisdoms we learned long ago: how important it is not to be afraid, how important it is to fight.
And every time they try to take something away from us, more and more people stand up to resist it. When the barricades of Maidan turn into the trenches of Donbas, and then into resistance along the entire frontline – north, south, and east. When the defense of democratic values turns into the defense of sovereignty and territorial integrity. When opposition to dictators inside the country becomes resistance to occupiers and terrorists from outside. When the whole country rises on February 24, when our entire nation rises to new barricades. Struggling and fighting. Knowing what for. Remembering everything. Having survived multiple “winters on fire”. Both 10 years ago and last year. Yesterday and today. We fought and we are still fighting. Both in the center of the capital back then and on the outskirts of Bakhmut now. On Hrushevskoho Street then and near Kharkiv, near Kherson, near Avdiivka now. All those who bravely went to battle for freedom with wooden shields back then, who defended the country in the first days of hostilities in the east, and all those who have been defending us in all directions since February 24. All those who were not afraid of rubber bullets or stun grenades then, or all the weapons and equipment of the so-called second army of the world today. Those who were not afraid and are not afraid to go out for freedom, wrapped in the Ukrainian flag. On Independence Square in Kyiv back then, on Freedom Square in Kherson last year. All those who selflessly pulled out the wounded on Instytutska Street back then, and all those who are doing it now on the battlefield. Everyone who knows and proves that we must struggle and fight – everyone for everyone. In every episode of confrontation. For one building or for the whole region. For one street or for the left bank of the whole country. For one barricade or along the entire state border of Ukraine.
And today a new round of our history is being written. And today it is up to our generation to determine the direction it will take. What will be written about us in history books. What our descendants will say about us. “They fought but failed” or “They fought and won”?
Like every state, ours has dark and bright pages in its history. Times of prosperity and times of discord. Periods of glory and periods of ruin. Which can last for decades. They can swing from side to side, like the history of the place behind me. From the middle of the XIX century, when European Square became Tsarskaya Square. And later - the Third International Square. And during the occupation, it was planned to be renamed in honor of Hitler. And even after the Nazis were expelled, it does not become European again, but turns into Stalin Square, and later Lenin Komsomol Square. And all this is not just plaques on buildings, it is the consequences that a wrong turn at the crossroads of history can have.
When statesmen are replaced by windbag politicians. When they fight for chairs, not people, when their own egos become more important than their own country, when they do not stand up to the end and the prefix “in exile” is added to the status of “leader,” “head,” or “hetman.” When the enemy manages to split the internal unity. When we quarrel, and then get tired and desperate. And then we survive. In new periods of new captivity and statelessness. When the enemy manages to undermine international support and solidarity. When the civilized world begins to seek compromises with terrorists and make concessions to tyrants. Then we all definitely lose. Ukraine. Europe. The whole world. We lose, naively thinking that there can be a draw with them. A draw is impossible.
We are strong. We have to be strong. Because people believe in the strong only, and only the strong create the future. Only the strong can be united. United to become free. Free to be worthy. For the sake of new times. When the central squares of our cities will receive new and forever unchanged names. In honor of the heroes. In honor of the liberators. Of Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol. In honor of the liberation of Donbas and Crimea. In honor of the reunification of Ukraine within its borders. When in history books, years and centuries from now, the period of independence since 1991 will be written about as a continuous one.
Years and centuries from now. When listening about Ukraine as an integral part of Europe, all future generations will ask in schools: how could it have been otherwise? When in our calendar alongside the Days of Independence, Statehood, Unity, Dignity and Freedom, the Day of Victory appears. Victory of Ukraine. Of decent and free people. With a capital letter.
Happy Dignity and Freedom Day, great people! Great with a capital “G”. Strong people of a strong country!
Glory to Ukraine!

On the Day of Dignity and Freedom, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak had a phone call with National Security Advisor to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan.
The interlocutors noted that on this day 10 years ago, the Ukrainian people demonstrated their unity and aspiration for freedom and European values.
Andriy Yermak and Jake Sullivan discussed preparations for the USA - Ukraine Defense Industrial Base Conference to be held in Washington D.C. on December 6-7.
The parties also discussed the results of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit held in San Francisco and noted the importance of the visit of U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to Ukraine.
In the framework of the ongoing dialogue with the allies, the Head of the Presidential Office briefed the U.S. Presidential Advisor on the situation on the battlefield. Andriy Yermak particularly emphasized the importance of bolstering Ukraine’s air defense in the winter period, when Russia is expected to increase terrorist attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities.
Andriy Yermak thanked the President of the United States, his administration, both houses of the U.S. Congress and the American society for their firm and unwavering support of Ukraine in its fight against the Russian aggressor.
I hear the next shipment of war materiel for Ukraine will be walkers and canes for the new recruits. Of course, if the warmongering oligarchs in DC weren’t already responsible for the slaughter of an entire generation of young Uke boys, these old men would be home playing with their grandchildren.

Putin ‘sends women convicts to war zone due to heavy losses of men’
Kirsten Robertson
Tuesday 14 Mar 2023 8:33 am
https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/14/putin-sends-women-convicts-to-war-zone-due-to-heavy-losses-of-men-18438026/
Russia is reportedly preparing to deploy women prisoners to the front line for the first time.
Due to heavy losses in the war, Vladimir Putin has sought ‘alternative sources of replenishment of manpower’, the Ukrainian armed forces general staff claims.
‘Last week there was a movement towards the Donetsk region of a train with reserved seats for transporting prisoners. One of the carriages [was for] convicted women,’ said a statement. Earlier this week, there were reports the Kremlin had moved female convicts to Kuschevka in Krasnodar region, close to the war zone.
Here some female prisoners – released under a special scheme linked to the war effort – were put to work as farm labourers in field as well as ‘greenhouses and cowsheds’, possibly deployed in supplying the military.
Olga Romanova, of Russian Behind Bars Foundation, believes around 100 women were sent to Ukraine.
Male prisoners have been recruited in Russia in their tens of thousands and offered a deal which reduces their sentences if they serve – and stay alive – for six months at the frontline.
Just finished watching ‘Redacted’s reported on the Ukraine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kd_PCixAh4
They are conscripting 54 year old women. The Russians are now taking over prior Ukrainian trenches post battle and finding dead female soldiers. Lots of pressure for the Ukraine to surrender, calling it ‘negotiations’, but the only thing keeping those in the Ukrainian government/Azov military guilty of war crimes from ‘justice’ (is that execution) is continued fighting. WHen the Ukraine surrenders, Putin will act against them and so they’d prefer to keep the fighting propped up. That last 100 million dollars Biden sent included one Himar, just one. I had read elsewhere that it costs 100 million per day of fighting, so the last dispatch of money Brandon ‘gifted’ that filthy smoking crater full of dead conscripts only paid for one more day of pointless fighting.

Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold their ground on the left bank of the Dnipro River (Kherson oblast) and continue to inflict fire on the enemy.
The russian occupiers continue the forced passportization of population on the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk oblast. Thus, in order to increase moral pressure on Ukrainian residents of Luhansk oblast and to force them to obtain russian citizenship, the so-called russian occupation government adopted decision that only those Ukrainian citizens who agreed to obtain a russian passport will be able to receive compensation for the purchase of coal and firewood for the heating season.
