We continue working with all our partners on air defense and F-16 ammunition. We’re preparing new decisions in the near future. I thank everyone who’s really helping.
From President Zelenskyy’s evening address.
Every day Russian strikes hit our energy infrastructure, causing extensive damage. Russia’s operation against our power generation, energy grids and interconnectors continues. It launched 17 ballistic missiles last night, some of which struck our oil refining infrastructure in Kremenchuk.
The Russians have not taken a single step toward energy de-escalation. We will act accordingly and justly.
Today, both national leaders and many public figures expressed their condolences to Ukraine. But it is also important that America not remain silent about the killings that continue unabated. Of course, we are doing everything possible to ensure that the humanitarian operation in Oleshky succeeds, and Ukrainian forces are maintaining the ceasefire. And humanitarian aspects must be felt not just in one particular section of the front. We must act and turn the situation around so that Russia moves toward de-escalation and so that this applies to our entire country, not just Oleshky.
From President Zelenskyy’s evening address.
I received a report – we carried out two missile strikes, destroying two Russian Su-34s and hitting an Iskander launcher. Thank you, guys, for this result! Another aspect of our anti-ballistic work is the packages of interceptors, primarily for Patriots, that our partners can provide us. They must protect lives. We now have intel about the Russians preparing new ballistic missile attacks. We need the capabilities to shoot down this Russian evil and are awaiting the decisions. Thank you to everyone who really helps us!

Today, Russia once again showed how it really feels about ending the war and seeking peace.
The deliberate mass killing of civilians right on the streets and in residential buildings in several Ukrainian cities in a single day – these are Russia’s “arguments” in negotiations.
Ukraine and the entire free world must respond to this with real strength. For every victim in Ukraine, Russian defense industry facilities must burn, and Moscow’s very ability to wage aggression must be destroyed. Only the military strength of Ukraine and its partners can stop the daily loss of life caused by bombs, drones, and missiles in the heart of Europe.
I call on Ukraine’s partners to give the aggressor a fitting response to its daily terror. Long-range weapons to suppress Russia’s ability to wage its genocidal war, effective air defense systems to save the lives of Ukrainian civilians – this is what will truly bring peace closer.
Only together can we stop Russian evil.
Today, I spoke with the leaders of Norway and Finland following their conversations with Putin. We will also stay in contact with the American side. We must protect lives. We must bring peace closer. We must shape policy toward Russia in a way that sparks their interest in de-escalation steps. Without pressure, there is no peace. Peace does not come to the powerless.
From President Zelenskyy’s evening address.
This year, Ukraine’s positions on the front remain stronger than they have been in a long time during this war. If our partners’ support for Ukraine remained just as strong – particularly when it comes to Patriots and other air defense capabilities – Ukraine would be in a much better position diplomatically as well. Just now, in October alone – since October 14 – there have already been several Russian ballistic missile attacks. Essentially, in two weeks, more than 100 ballistic missiles have been launched against Kyiv and the region. Unfortunately, there are significant restrictions on supplies, with air defense packages being delayed. I want to thank all our partners who provide their support on time.

Ветерани мають бути серед тих, хто формує майбутнє України.
Сьогодні Верховна Рада ухвалила законопроєкт № 13478-1, який передбачає відновлення відкритих конкурсів на посади державної служби та в органи місцевого самоврядування. Важливо, що документ закріплює пріоритетне право ветеранів на посади державної служби за рівних професійних компетентностей.
Це важливий крок до ширшого залучення наших захисників і захисниць до державного управління.
Українські ветерани мають унікальний досвід лідерства, відповідальності, управління та ухвалення рішень у найскладніших умовах. Цей досвід повинен працювати на розвиток держави.
Наше завдання – створити умови, за яких вони зможуть реалізувати свій потенціал у державних інституціях, місцевому самоврядуванні, економіці та загалом керівництві країною.
Ветеранська політика має поєднувати належний захист і підтримку з реальними можливостями для професійного розвитку та участі в житті держави.
Саме так формується сильна держава – через досвід, професіоналізм і відповідальність її громадян. Сильна держава – це сильні люди на правильних місцях.
Рухаємося далі.
Слава Україні!
There is an arrangement to unblock access to the city of Oleshky that should be implemented soon. In the occupied part of our Kherson region, the Russians have mined the roads, making the situation dire. We hope this humanitarian operation can be carried out – access to Oleshky can be unblocked, food and medicine can be brought in, and people can leave this combat zone. We have been negotiating this for some time and at various levels. Ukraine will do its part. We count on American mediation to work.
From President Zelenskyy’s address.
The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.
Thank you @iceye_global and @nokia for supporting and strengthening Ukraine. This can help Finland and all of Europe too.
ICEYE and @Nokia announced today a partnership with The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine to develop sovereign satellite communications. ICEYE has supported Ukraine since 2022 and delivers sovereign space capability at speed. This builds on that.

Thank you for the interview!
What do you say to your family when you don’t know if you’ll ever see them again?
In February 2022, he told his wife and children the war had begun. Then he left as Russian forces advanced towards Kyiv, unsure what the coming hours would bring.
This is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Before politics, he built a successful career in Ukrainian television as a writer, producer and performer, even portraying a president on screen. In 2019, he was elected President of Ukraine. Three years later, Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
Sitting down with him was surreal and an enormous responsibility. It was a rare chance to hear his account of the first hours of the war and the decisions that followed.
We discussed things like:
How he found out Russia had invaded.
Why he refused an offer to evacuate Kyiv.
The 64km Russian military convoy advancing towards the capital.
How Russian forces tried to capture a key airport.
His account of discovering hundreds of bodies after Russian occupation.
What he believes it will take to end the war.
But I also wanted to understand how he’d been coping.
One of my first questions was simply, “How are you doing?” His answer was: “It’s hard.”
He spoke about meeting parents whose children had been killed. Some, he explained, simply ask him for a hug.
And as he spoke, there were tears in his eyes.
Whatever your views on the war or the decisions made by those involved, this is a rare opportunity to hear his account of events that have changed millions of lives.
Because behind every map, every headline and every political decision, there are real people.
Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

Thank you to Corriere della Sera for the good interview and your attention to important details that matter to Ukraine, Italy, and Europe.
«Restrictions on intelligence sharing and the reduction in Starlink’s speed are no longer mere threats, but a reality. It is unfair to us».

Today, I especially want to recognize the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade, which is carrying out missions in the Oleksandrivskyi sector – thank you for your confident assault operations and good combat planning. I thank the warriors of the 128th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, which is also fighting confidently and destroying the occupying forces in the Zaporizhzhia sector. I thank the 59th Separate Assault Brigade of Unmanned Systems and the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade – thank you, warriors, for your excellent results in destroying the occupiers in the Donetsk region.
We thank our assault units in the Pokrovsk sector. I also want to recognize today the warriors of the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the timely and accurate delivery of our long-range sanctions to Russian territory.
And I also thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and our intelligence services – the Defense Intelligence and the Foreign Intelligence Service – for their accuracy. Thank you all!
From President Zelenskyy’s evening address.
The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture. The same was true at other points this year. We continue to press the Russians at the front.
Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Orikhiv, Novopavlivka, Novoandriivka, and Velykomykhailivka are all under Ukrainian control. We are also defending the areas near Kramatorsk and destroying Russian forces 20 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia, not 5, as someone over there in Russia is snowing Putin.
Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full.
Thank you!

Op dag 2 van de Europese Raad staan de oorlog in Oekraïne en de aanpak van migratie op de agenda.
In het belang van de Oekraïners die vechten voor hun vrijheid én in het belang van onze eigen veiligheid moeten we Oekraïne op alle mogelijke manieren blijven steunen: militair, humanitair, financieel, juridisch en politiek.
Daarom blijf ik andere landen oproepen ook een forse bijdrage te doen; financieel of militair. Daarnaast moeten we de druk op Rusland blijven opvoeren. Daarom hebben we afgelopen week Rusland nieuwe sancties opgelegd, gericht op de personen en bedrijven die betrokken zijn bij de rakettenproductie.
Ook wordt er hard gewerkt aan het krijgen van meer grip op wie de Europese Unie binnenkomt. Het Europees asiel- en migratiepact moet volledig en effectief door alle landen worden uitgevoerd, inclusief de terugkeer van asielzoekers die in een andere lidstaat zijn binnengekomen.
Met gelijkgestemde landen spreek ik vandaag over verdere oplossingen, zoals meer opvang in de regio, effectievere aanpak van mensensmokkel en de mogelijkheden voor terugkeerhubs. We zijn hard aan de slag en verwachten nog voor het einde van het jaar concrete stappen te zetten.
Thank you!
We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace.
That's why we need to help Ukrainians to get through winter and defend their country.
Ukrainians need more air defence. And we need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear that they have to negotiate.
My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting ↓
Putin has started his winter operation against our energy system – massively, right now, in October. People are left without electricity because Russian ballistic missiles and drones keep hitting our energy, and water supplies, and energy facilities.
I ask you to really focus on helping us get PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptors. Ukraine can’t get by on just two or four missiles from a country every few months. Of course, we are thankful to all of you, but I think you have to understand. So please let what European countries already have be put to use to protect our lives.
We need a winter package – we always spoke about it between us – of missiles – 300 Patriot interceptors specifically against ballistic missiles. And this is really important. Not just for Ukraine, but strategically – for what happens next, after this winter, to Ukraine and to all of Europe.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address at the European Council meeting.
Thank you!
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten calls on European leaders give more support to Ukraine "financially, militarily and nonmilitary." He believes a lot of European countries are "lagging behind in the support for Ukraine."
