👤💬🇺🇦⚠️⚠️❌🇷🇺 — 🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:

"Report by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko.

First: the actions of units of the National Guard of Ukraine at the front and specifically the use of drones in front-line battles.

Second: countering criminal groups linked to Russian mafia cells and so-called "thieves in law."

Third: a separate report on the scandalous and extremely unpleasant situation surrounding the collection in favor of Ukrainian citizen Nazariy Gusakov and possible cases of fraud. Verifications of all publicly available information are ongoing. According to preliminary data, at least four financial institutions and many digital services were used. The circle of people who could have suffered from allegedly illegal actions is being established. Gusakov left the territory of Ukraine on June 13, his location and other significant circumstances are currently being established.

It is very important to restore justice and avoid any discrediting of the meetings and volunteering as such. There must be a legal response to individual cases of fraud."

👤💬🇺🇦 — 🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:

"Report by the head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov. Many details about the situation in Russia, in the Russian defense complex. We see the main pain points of the aggressor state and will strike appropriate blows to protect our state and people, as well as to significantly reduce Russia's potential for aggression.

We are recording further intellectual regression of the Russian leadership and have evidence that they are preparing new military operations on the territory of Europe. We are also recording very tangible damage that sanctions are causing to the Russian economic system, which confirms the correctness of our course to force Russia to end the war through increased sanctions and other pressure.

We will inform our partners about the facts that our intelligence has obtained. We are preparing joint solutions for protection together, in particular with Britain and the European Union. Thank you to everyone in the world who helps us protect lives."
