President Zelenskyy: We are preparing to present the victory plan to our allies

“We are working to ensure that reality ultimately overcomes Russian state propaganda. Of course, we are also preparing for Russia’s future actions in battles on the frontline,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on September 16.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today, almost the entire day was focused primarily on military matters. There was a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi – a lengthy conversation at the start of the day, and just now, we spoke again to review the day’s outcomes. Over a hundred battles have taken place since the start of this day, with the most intense fighting in the Kurakhove and Pokrovsk directions. We are defending our positions. We also reviewed the Kursk operation in detail, and each day we are acting precisely as planned. I want to thank every brigade and every unit for their coordinated actions and true resilience. Today, I signed several decrees awarding state honors to our warriors, particularly participants in the Kursk operation. I am proud of each and every one of them!

I held a meeting of the Staff, with a detailed focus on the protection of energy facilities. This included physical protection, relevant construction projects, air defense, and electronic warfare. The Prime Minister and energy companies provided reports. Additionally, there was an in-depth report from our intelligence services on the situation in the ranks of the occupying army, the situation on Russian territory, and within its population. It is important for us that the perception of the war in Russia is deteriorating, as is the public’s view of the results of Putin’s policies.
