President Zelenskyy: Our units have been fighting on enemy territory since August

“Today, I was also in our Sumy region – one of the directions where a lot is at stake. I wanted to be here in person. I wanted to personally thank our warriors,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on April 3.

I wish you health, dear Ukrainians!

Today, two of our regions – Chernihiv and Sumy. A strategic area, the border with Russia.

I began the day in Yahidne – just a few days ago was the anniversary of the village’s liberation from the occupiers. It’s important that many facilities in the village have been restored, new homes are being built, and efforts are being made to preserve the memory of how the Russians held the entire village in the basement of a school. One of the most cynical and inhumane crimes of this war. We will never forget it. I was also in Chernihiv, where I met with representatives of all our communities in the region. Many issues were raised – especially by the communities bordering Russia and suffering virtually constant shelling. Today, we made the decision to allocate additional funds to support all such communities – those along the border with the enemy, as well as frontline communities. Next week, government officials are expected to get this done – tangible additional funding for each of these communities to address their most urgent needs.
