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!
