Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022.

I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.

Ще 185 українських захисників сьогодні повертаються додому з російської неволі. І також із захисниками повертається один цивільний. Воїни Збройних Сил України, Національної гвардії та Державної прикордонної служби. Рядові, сержанти й офіцери. Вони захищали нашу державу в Маріуполі та на «Азовсталі», а також на Донецькому, Луганському, Харківському, Херсонському, Запорізькому, Сумському, Київському та Курському напрямках. Серед них ті, хто повертається після років російського полону, в якому перебували ще з 2022 року.

Дякую всім, хто робить це можливим: команді, що займається обмінами, нашим партнерам. І особлива вдячність воїнам, які поповнюють наш обмінний фонд – своєю силою та результатами на фронті забезпечують повернення наших людей додому. Робота триває. Повернення наших людей – незмінний пріоритет для України. Щодня працюємо над тим, щоб визволити кожного українця та кожну українку з неволі.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

For 26 years, your time in power has completely changed the agenda of relations between Ukraine and Russia. From discussions about trade and other civilian matters, our nations have moved to talking almost exclusively about strikes and losses.
You have spent nearly half of your 26 years in power in Russia waging war against Ukraine.

Whatever you may say about NATO, geopolitics, or the Russian language, this war is your personal choice — a war without a real cause. That is how history will remember it.
Those years could have been very different.
We often hear that you are comfortable with this war. Of course, not in those cases when it comes to the security of your residence in Valdai or your parade in Moscow. Your own life is valuable to you.

We all need to work together to remove the dangers in Hormuz in a way that helps protect freedom of navigation everywhere in the world. The decisions made now on Hormuz will shape what other troublemakers might think about causing problems – in other straits and on other fronts.

We must be as concrete and clear as possible so that we don't end up, six months from now, like in Gaza – where lots yet has to be done – security there is still largely fragile, reconstruction hasn’t really started, and many humanitarian problems remain unresolved. In Hormuz, there are security tasks that can’t be solved by political decisions only.

First, we need to define what actually depends on all of us in Hormuz and what depends on the U.S. It’s also important to involve the countries of the Middle East in a way that reflects their shared interests. Key principle is: after the war security must be stronger, not weaker.

At the EU Council meeting I said: just like authorities confiscate money from drug-traffickers and seize weapons from terrorists, Russian assets must be used to defend against Russian aggression and rebuild what was destroyed by Russian attacks. It’s moral. It’s fair. It’s legal.

I’m grateful to EU leaders for their attention and support for Ukraine. We’ve all come a long way – and yes, there were many challenges and moments of doubt. But the fact remains – Europe achieved a lot, and Putin didn’t break Ukraine, and he didn’t make Europe look like a loser.

Russia has lost – in literally everything it tried to use to threaten or break us, break Europe. Europe has demilitarized Russia’s gas weapon – the continent no longer lets Moscow manipulate it with energy. This is a historic achievement that just a few years ago seemed almost impossible.

Fruitful diplomacy ahead. Sunday – visit to Greece and important agreement on natural gas imports. Monday – historic deal with France in Paris to strengthen our combat aviation and air defense. Tuesday – talks in Spain on bolstering our air defense and initiatives with partners.

Not a single day is wasted for Ukraine. Today, we have already prepared an agreement with Greece on gas for Ukraine, which will be another gas supply route to secure imports for the winter as much as possible.

A historic agreement has also been prepared with France – there will be a significant strengthening of our combat aviation, air defense, and other defense capabilities. According to the visit schedule, this will take place on Monday.
