Dear Ukrainian citizens.
This morning, President Putin announced a special military operation in Donbas. Russia carried out strikes on our military infrastructure and our border guardsmen, border guard divisions. In many Ukrainian cities, explosions were heard.
We have introduced martial law across all territories in our country.
A minute ago, I had a phone call with President Biden. The United States of America has already started gathering international support.
Today we need each of you to be calm. If you can, please stay at home.
We are working. The army is working. The whole security and defense sector of Ukraine is working.
I will be in constant contact with you, so will the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. I will talk to you soon. Don’t panic.
We are strong, we are ready for anything. We will win over anyone because we are Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine.
