Ukrainian soldiers are fighting for the future of their children, he stressed.

"This is what we are fighting for, without having the right to defeat. Ukraine does not give up – thanks to you. And thanks to you, I am convinced again and again: no matter how difficult it is for us, we will definitely not be ashamed," said the army leader.
