Address of the President of Ukraine. D245 (English version)

Fierce fighting continues in Donetsk region - Bakhmut direction, Avdiyivka. All our soldiers who hold positions in these directions in Donetsk region are simply heroes. Active actions in other directions continue. Today I would like to mention the soldiers of the 25th Airborne Brigade for their bravery in liberating the occupied territories in Luhansk region.
Today, during the day, the air raid alerts sounded several times over most of the territory of our state. The Air Force has results - another helicopter of the occupiers was shot down, another drone. The total number of downed Russian helicopters is approaching two hundred and fifty. The Russian occupiers have already lost as much equipment - aircraft and other - as most armies of the world simply do not have and will never have in service. Russia will not be able to restore these losses. I thank all our fighters for such a gradual and irreversible demilitarization of the enemy.
Glory to everyone who fights and works for the freedom of Ukraine!
