It is important that every week one can say, “I have contributed something of my own to the common defense” – address by the President of Ukraine

Dear Ukrainians, I wish you good health!
First of all, I want to thank each and every one of our soldiers for this week, everyone who is in battle, on combat posts, who performs combat tasks.
To all those who help, train, and treat, those who provide the Ukrainian force with everything necessary. Also, of course, to our rescuers – the entire team of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. To the employees of the National Police and the National Guard who have consistently helped our people after Russian shelling and weather-related incidents.
To everyone working in our Ukrainian defense industries. To everyone whose work is to assist Ukraine, take care of the interests of our state. To everyone defending Ukraine on the international stage. I thank you all for making this week bring results for our country, for achieving our goals.
It is significant that Russia has recently lost its influence in two international institutions. These are the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the International Maritime Organization – one of the key organizations globally responsible for security. Indeed, there is no place for terrorists there, and there will no longer be Russian representatives in the executive bodies. This is entirely fair.
I want to specifically acknowledge Germany – German assistance to our defense, to our actions. I am especially grateful for the precise implementation of agreements regarding air defense for Ukraine – strengthening our air shield. This is a lifesaver for thousands of Ukrainian lives – a truly strong outcome of our bilateral cooperation with Chancellor Scholz, with everyone in Germany who supports the protection of life and the rule of international law. There is also another defense package, including much-needed artillery rounds, 155mm. Thank you, Olaf!
It is also important that this week sanctions were imposed by the United States against Russian entities supporting the economy of aggression. This includes those who help violate the price cap for Russian oil and those working in Iranian structures for destabilization. This is extremely useful for advancing a just peace – for each week to bring sanction-related updates, adding effectiveness to sanctions.
And, of course, our personal gratitude goes to those who have shown exceptional bravery in the battles for Ukraine, for independence. Soldier Taras Davydiuk, a reconnaissance officer in the 130th Separate Reconnaissance Battalion. Thank you, Taras, for your courage and true leadership in combat! Soldier Oleksandr Koturbas, from our renowned 55th Separate Artillery Brigade. Thank you for your resilience, precision, and the destruction of occupiers! Soldier Andriy Hryhoriev and Senior Soldier Vitaliy Krasovsky, both from the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade. They have repeatedly repelled enemy assaults, conducted evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, and eliminated enemy infantry. These guys are fighting in Bradley vehicles. Thank you for your strength! Sergeant Mykola Shuhailo, from the 704th Radiological, Chemical, Biological Defense Regiment. Thank you for your bravery during storm repulsions, thank you for your will to fight!
And two more soldiers from the 93rd Kholodnyi Yar Separate Mechanized Brigade: Soldier Andriy Yatskovets and Junior Sergeant Oleksandr Hakov. Thank you, guys, for your determination in our Ukrainian assault actions!
Glory to all who contributes results to Ukraine, everyone who has found their place in the nationwide cause, everyone who helps and cares for Ukraine! Gratitude to all. Respect to all.
It is important that everyone remains committed to the common cause. It is important that every week one can say, “I have contributed something of my own to the common defense.” It is important that the actions, the concrete actions of millions of Ukrainians every day, every week, further strengthen the Ukrainian force. Together, we can overcome everything.
And please, do not forget to pay attention to air raid alerts, especially these days. Do not neglect it.
Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine has destroyed Shahed bases hundreds of miles inside Russia, severely crippling the Russian ability to attack Ukrainian infrastructure this winter. Ukrainian forces also were conducting strikes onto Russian command posts, and heavy artillery found dozens of miles away from the front.
Possibly suggesting that further action may be taken. Ukrainian forces have held Avdiivka, and are still attacking in the Kherson area.

Diane Francis, an author, journalist, and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, recently wrote about the state of kleptocracy headed by Vladimir Putin, who she says now has a fortune worth more than a trillion dollars, held through a network of proxies, some of whom were his childhood friends. What is the danger of this phenomenon for the world and for Russia itself, where inequality is rampant?
Ukraine is being absolutely wrecked. Keep posting this stuff.

“The Russian army has begun the formation of high-power artillery brigades, the main task of which will be to break into enemy defenses. The new units will be armed with large-caliber artillery.
“The first high-power artillery brigade - 17th brigade - was formed as part of the 3rd Zaporozhye Army Corps. Several more similar artillery brigades will be formed in the near future in other army corps and armies in the special operation zone.
The brigades are armed with large-caliber artillery - self-propelled guns of 203 mm caliber 2S7 “Pion” and 2S7M “Malka”, as well as heavy mortars 2S4 “Tulip” of 240 mm caliber. In addition, the brigades will include unmanned aircraft units to conduct reconnaissance and fire adjustments.”

I pity the poor Ukrainians being used as cannon fodder in the frozen Ukrainian trenches. This heavy artillery capability will be directed at destroying large swathes of defensive fortifications.
“Glory to Ukraine?”
Weird.

Ukrainian air defense forces also destroyed 1 Kh-59 air-launched cruise missile.
“I pity the poor Ukrainians being used as cannon fodder in the frozen Ukrainian trenches. This heavy artillery capability will be directed at destroying large swathes of defensive fortifications.”
Anyone with a half a heart would feel sorry for them. However, I doubt the internet posters who make money promoting this war feel any pity whatsoever. They are a heartless, wicked cabal.
PHRASE HISTORY: Glory to Ukraine
In U.S.A., we say God Bless America.
Slava Ukraine means “Glory to Ukraine!”
This phrase became popular among Ukrainians during the Ukrainian War of Independence from 1917 to 1921. From the 1930s Slava Ukraine was used by different Ukrainian groups, as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities during the Cold War.
Of course in the Soviet Union the phrase was forbidden and later other Russian authorities. The phrase eventually resurfaced in Ukraine during the country’s struggle for independence in connection with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Today, during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukrainea “Slava Ukraine” is used in protests to support Ukraine around the world.
( Ukrainian: Слава Україні!, romanized : Sláva Ukrayíni!, IPA: [ˈsɫaʋɐ ʊkrɐˈjinʲi] ( listen)) is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Glory to Ukraine?”
Weird.
Makes you sick, doesn’t it?
