A month before the enemy began to actively storm Avdiivka. A month of fierce battles, endurance and feats of our defenders, who continue to heroically hold the defense.

During this time, our soldiers destroyed more than 100 enemy tanks, 250 other armored vehicles, about fifty artillery systems and 7 Su-25 aircraft. The enemy's total losses in manpower amount to about ten thousand people.

Thanks to the brigades, our units. Infantrymen, gunners, tankers, scouts, operators of air defense systems, medics. To every defender, every defender who defends Avdiivka.

I bow my head to those on the shield. Eternal memory and honor.

Glory to our Heroes! Glory to Ukraine!

Yes, we Ukrainians value the land and appreciate every bit of it where something can be grown. Here around the apartment houses every tiny bit of land is filled with flowers, fruit and ornamental trees. It is unthinkable for us to turn the landscape into a wasteland.

You know, numerous other nations are still colonized by Russia - including those who have rich oil, gas and mineral deposits in their land.

If we'll be able to establish mutually beneficial cooperation with them, this would be nice. Ukrainians have decades of experience working on these very deposits. Having been colonized by Russia in the past, we'll understand well the concerns of these people.
