1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,544
Dear free people
of the most beautiful country!
2
00:00:04,556 --> 00:00:06,803
A country that has a future.
3
00:00:07,812 --> 00:00:09,072
That's true.
4
00:00:09,145 --> 00:00:12,282
This is what motivates us to fight now.
5
00:00:12,301 --> 00:00:14,186
On the battlefield and around the clock
6
00:00:14,198 --> 00:00:17,459
on the diplomatic,
information and economic fronts.
7
00:00:17,473 --> 00:00:22,050
This is what allows us
to plan our lives after the war.
8
00:00:22,141 --> 00:00:27,171
Our Ukrainian free,
sovereign and democratic future.
9
00:00:27,202 --> 00:00:29,464
Definitely – peaceful.
10
00:00:29,479 --> 00:00:31,247
Definitely – with development.
11
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:34,756
Today I held a meeting dedicated
to the reconstruction of our cities.
12
00:00:34,792 --> 00:00:37,150
Of course, this is a huge amount of work.
13
00:00:37,179 --> 00:00:41,499
But still less than defending
the state in war.
14
00:00:41,527 --> 00:00:44,057
Than that we all – all Ukrainians,
15
00:00:44,084 --> 00:00:48,673
our army and all our people
are already really doing.
16
00:00:48,684 --> 00:00:51,340
So don't be afraid of the scale.
17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,937
What is important in our project
of reconstruction of Ukraine?
18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,248
The task is not only
to physically rebuild the houses,
19
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:04,294
apartments, bridges and roads,
businesses and social infrastructure
20
00:01:04,329 --> 00:01:07,078
that were destroyed by Russian troops.
21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Not just to give people back
everything they lost
22
00:01:11,942 --> 00:01:14,846
and give them a new foundation in life.
23
00:01:14,886 --> 00:01:16,963
Now it is a historic moment.
24
00:01:16,997 --> 00:01:20,169
The moment when we can solve
25
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:24,762
many old problems of the whole
environment of our life once and for all.
26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,820
When we can make quality urban planning
where it did not exist.
27
00:01:29,876 --> 00:01:32,866
We can take into account
real traffic flows.
28
00:01:32,902 --> 00:01:37,837
Guarantee energy saving, environmental
friendliness of materials, inclusiveness.
29
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:40,342
This is when it comes
30
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:44,883
to the organization of living space
and the quality of reconstruction.
31
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:48,777
But there is also justice.
32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,193
Housing queues have existed
for decades and never ended.
33
00:01:53,205 --> 00:01:55,207
This has been
the case since Soviet times.
34
00:01:55,243 --> 00:01:59,737
Millions of people know
how difficult it is to get a home,
35
00:01:59,778 --> 00:02:04,179
earn money for their own apartment,
build a house.
36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,906
It has always been especially painful
for the military, law enforcement,
37
00:02:08,938 --> 00:02:11,199
and public sector workers.
38
00:02:11,227 --> 00:02:13,451
For those who work for society
39
00:02:13,484 --> 00:02:17,052
and receive very little
from the state for it.
40
00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:19,552
Last year, I set a task
for the government –
41
00:02:19,584 --> 00:02:23,605
to do everything possible
to provide all veterans,
42
00:02:23,616 --> 00:02:26,113
who were waiting in line,
with housing this year.
43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,265
Next, we planned to provide
all our military with housing.
44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,566
And now we are actually
expanding last year's task
45
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,670
to the whole state and refining it
46
00:02:37,707 --> 00:02:43,471
so that it would be a real modernization
of communities and cities of Ukraine
47
00:02:43,505 --> 00:02:48,554
And we combine this with the housing
energy modernization program.
48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,449
As a result, there will be several stages.
49
00:02:51,482 --> 00:02:53,282
Today, I set a task
50
00:02:53,302 --> 00:02:58,518
to provide temporary housing
to all our IDPs at the first stage.
51
00:02:58,576 --> 00:03:01,555
Those whose house
was destroyed by war.
52
00:03:01,612 --> 00:03:05,536
Temporary housing
until we rebuild their homes.
53
00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:10,995
Or until people receive compensation
in square meters or money.
54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,876
In the second stage, we restore
what the occupiers tried to destroy.
55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,139
All affected cities and communities.
56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,942
And at the third stage,
we provide housing for all those
57
00:03:21,979 --> 00:03:25,750
who have defended
or are defending the state,
58
00:03:25,786 --> 00:03:28,844
who have worked or are working
in the interests of society,
59
00:03:28,861 --> 00:03:31,478
and do not have their own housing.
60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,280
It can no longer be the case
61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,562
that a person devotes
his whole life to military service,
62
00:03:38,606 --> 00:03:42,294
but retires without having
his own apartment.
63
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,240
It can no longer be the case
64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,940
that a son or daughter
is defending Ukraine in the war,
65
00:03:47,976 --> 00:03:52,459
and a father and mother
do not have their own housing
66
00:03:52,486 --> 00:03:56,897
and are forced to live in a rented
apartment or look for other options.
67
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,559
It can no longer be the case
that a doctor or nurse,
68
00:04:01,582 --> 00:04:05,800
teacher or law enforcement officer
spends his whole life honestly
69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,316
and stays in a dormitory for decades,
70
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,603
if not for life.
71
00:04:11,624 --> 00:04:12,977
The government,
72
00:04:13,006 --> 00:04:17,409
all central authorities together
with local authorities must ensure this.
73
00:04:17,422 --> 00:04:18,660
And they will ensure.
74
00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:22,491
Everyone in Ukraine
has the right to their own housing,
75
00:04:22,516 --> 00:04:25,790
their own home or their own apartment.
76
00:04:25,827 --> 00:04:29,640
The right to a safe
and comfortable living space
77
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,098
that will be designed for anyone.
78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,104
All those whose homes
were destroyed by the occupiers,
79
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:38,975
and all those who were waiting
in line for many years.
80
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:44,099
All our people who deserve
to live in a modern environment.
81
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,279
To implement this project,
82
00:04:46,336 --> 00:04:49,522
we are already involving
leading architects,
83
00:04:49,551 --> 00:04:53,098
the full potential of the state
and international support.
84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,823
The participation of companies,
partner countries,
85
00:04:55,841 --> 00:04:57,493
international donors can be added.
86
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,301
I have absolutely no doubt
87
00:04:59,331 --> 00:05:01,921
that we will be able to do this.
88
00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:04,698
It will be possible not only to restore
that was destroyed,
89
00:05:04,718 --> 00:05:08,531
but also to restore justice for those
90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,353
whose right to housing has been violated.
91
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,517
We also discussed
the issue of memorializing
92
00:05:14,542 --> 00:05:17,561
what Ukrainians experienced
during this war.
93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,806
They discussed how to preserve
parts of this experience
94
00:05:21,834 --> 00:05:25,760
so that it would always remind
all generations of our people
95
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:31,304
of the brutal and senseless invasion
Ukraine has been able to fend off.
96
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:35,006
As one of the examples, a project
of a memorial complex is being prepared,
97
00:05:35,036 --> 00:05:39,844
which will tell the story
of the destroyed bridge in Kyiv region,
98
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,693
which connected Irpin and Bucha with Kyiv.
99
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,790
The story of people,
who escaped from Russian invaders
100
00:05:46,831 --> 00:05:50,014
to Kyiv using this bridge and this road.
101
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,066
I met today with servicemen
of the State Service
102
00:05:53,082 --> 00:05:57,241
for Special Communications
and Information Protection.
103
00:05:57,277 --> 00:05:58,930
I handed over awards.
104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,268
The contribution of special
communications servicemen to our defense,
105
00:06:02,276 --> 00:06:06,526
to our path to victory and peace,
cannot be overestimated.
106
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,444
Their work should be mentioned more often,
107
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,141
they should be thanked more loudly.
108
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,805
Since the first day of the war,
109
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:18,499
we have had stable communication
both within our country
110
00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:20,971
and with Ukraine's partner states.
111
00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:25,509
I am sincerely grateful
to everyone who provides it!
112
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,503
I spoke today with Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson
113
00:06:29,527 --> 00:06:33,749
and Prime Minister of Sweden
Magdalena Andersson.
114
00:06:33,782 --> 00:06:36,862
On defense and other support for Ukraine.
115
00:06:36,934 --> 00:06:40,074
On toughening the sanctions policy
against Russia.
116
00:06:40,087 --> 00:06:43,849
On the situation in various areas
of hostilities in Ukraine,
117
00:06:43,876 --> 00:06:46,100
and especially on Mariupol.
118
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,565
And about options to help
city defenders and civilians.
119
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,220
The situation in Mariupol
remains as severe as possible.
120
00:06:55,251 --> 00:06:57,322
Just inhuman.
121
00:06:57,335 --> 00:06:59,956
This is what the Russian Federation did.
122
00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:04,731
Deliberately did. And deliberately
continues to destroy cities.
123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,291
Russia is deliberately trying to destroy
everyone who is there in Mariupol.
124
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,211
There are only two ways to influence this.
125
00:07:12,226 --> 00:07:18,726
Or the partners will give Ukraine
all the necessary heavy weapons, planes,
126
00:07:18,763 --> 00:07:21,130
and, without exaggeration, immediately.
127
00:07:21,161 --> 00:07:25,719
So that we can reduce the occupiers'
pressure on Mariupol and unblock it.
128
00:07:25,748 --> 00:07:27,521
Or a negotiating path,
129
00:07:27,536 --> 00:07:31,329
in which the role of partners
should also be decisive.
130
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,762
I want to be heard right now:
131
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:37,200
there has not been a single day
since the blockade of Mariupol
132
00:07:37,227 --> 00:07:39,302
that we have not sought a solution.
133
00:07:39,316 --> 00:07:43,861
Military or diplomatic –
anything to save people.
134
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:46,523
But finding this solution
is extremely difficult.
135
00:07:46,535 --> 00:07:50,369
So far, there is no one hundred
percent valid option.
136
00:07:50,404 --> 00:07:54,209
This applies to both military options
and the negotiation process.
137
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,666
Although we have heard
many intentions from those
138
00:07:56,696 --> 00:08:00,827
who wanted to help and who really
in positions of international influence,
139
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,012
none of them have been realized yet.
140
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,534
However, we will not
abandon these efforts.
141
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,242
And every day either I
142
00:08:10,274 --> 00:08:13,250
or Commander-in-Chief
of the Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny,
143
00:08:13,291 --> 00:08:17,277
or another military, or head
of our negotiating team David Arakhamia
144
00:08:17,307 --> 00:08:21,991
are in touch with our defenders
of Mariupol. Every day.
145
00:08:22,015 --> 00:08:24,680
Traditionally, before the evening address,
146
00:08:24,727 --> 00:08:28,065
I signed a decree
on awarding our defenders.
147
00:08:28,092 --> 00:08:31,754
186 servicemen
of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
148
00:08:31,787 --> 00:08:35,827
13 servicemen
of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
149
00:08:35,856 --> 00:08:38,715
Two officers
of the Security Service of Ukraine.
150
00:08:38,737 --> 00:08:41,501
And one fighter of the National Guard.
151
00:08:41,529 --> 00:08:44,993
Eternal glory to all who defend the state!
152
00:08:45,023 --> 00:08:48,892
Eternal memory to everyone
who died for Ukraine!
153
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:50,312
Glory to Ukraine!
