Today, Ukraine stopped for a minute of silence to honor the fallen heroes.

Our defenders are brave, unbreakable and courageous people who every day put their lives on the line so that we can live in a free country. Take our children to school. See our families. And create cool innovative products.

It is our duty not to forget about their heroic deeds and to do everything possible for our victory. We have a lot of important projects underway—from marine drones and robots to AI-powered drones and electronic warfare technologies. They will help us to destroy the enemy more effectively and save the lives of our soldiers.

I am grateful to our defenders and everyone who works to bring our victory closer. You are a powerful motivation to move forward.
