✓ We see who in the world is trying to replace the power of international law with the horror of blood and disasters.
✓ We see whose deliberate investments in terror are destroying the lives of different peoples in a vast area from Belarus to Mali.
Many people were shocked by the audacity of the terrorist attack. The audacity and thorough preparation. If terrorists can afford it, it means they are a threat not just to one country.
Russia is interested in triggering a war in the Middle East to undermine world unity – address by the President of Ukraine
9 October 2023 - 20:25
I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
Today was a very eventful day. Various meetings, and among them those related to the latest international developments are of particular importance.
I held a meeting with the heads of our intelligence, Main Intelligence Directorate and Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as with our diplomats on the situation in and around Israel and on the overall situation in the Middle East.
This is of fundamental importance for us - not only for Ukraine, but also for the entire Europe.
✓ According to the available information – a very clear one – Russia is interested in triggering a war in the Middle East, so that a new source of pain and suffering could undermine world unity, increase discord and contradictions, and thus help Russia destroy freedom in Europe. We see Russian propagandists gloating. We see Moscow's Iranian friends openly supporting those who attacked Israel. And all of this is a much greater threat than the world currently perceives. The world wars of the past started with local aggressions.
We know how to counter this threat.
We are preparing appropriate steps. And most importantly, we are defending the need for maximum unity in the world.
✓ Today, I addressed the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, first of all, on the issue of unity. Every state in the world must now choose how it will defend international law. Defend! Not stand aside when terror tries to take over, and when another region of the world may collapse before our eyes.
I am grateful to all the leaders and states who are now fully aware of the danger and are ready to work together to keep the situation under control, to keep the obvious sponsors of terror from broader interference.
✓ Today I also held a meeting with Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk. We coordinated our positions for the coming weeks.
✓ I also met with Deputy Prime Minister Fedorov, Minister of Education and Science Lisovyi, and the ministry's team. Working issues.
One more thing.
- Anatoliy Barhylevych has been appointed commander instead of Ihor Tantsiura.
- The key task is that the development of the Territorial Defense Forces should not stop.
Dismissal of Territorial Defense commander, closure of Rotterdam+ case, ..
New commander of the territorial defense
- Tantsiura became the head of the Terrorist Defense Forces in May 2022.
- Over the years, he was in charge of the 169th Training Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Desna", was the Chief of Staff of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO), and later - the Headquarters of the Joint Forces Operation (JFO).
- He was also the Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- Previously, he was the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- In 2016, Barhylevych was awarded the Order of Danylo Halytskyi "for his personal contribution to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, courage, dedication and high professionalism displayed during the performance of military duty."
HACCU closes "Rotterdam+" case
The SAPO prosecutor will appeal this decision to the court of appeal.
The Anti-Corruption Action Center clarified that the grounds for closing cases due to the expiration of the time limit appeared in 2018. This is one of the so-called "Lozovyi amendments". These amendments were adopted by the MPs of the previous convocation in violation of the rules of procedure. Now there is a chance that the Lozovyi amendments will be removed from the legislation: the relevant bills have been registered in the Verkhovna Rada.
Rotterdam+ is a formula that determined the cost of electricity produced by thermal power plants. It was applied in 2016-2019. It benefited businessman Rinat Akhmetov's DTEK company, which is a monopolist in the market and has the largest thermal power plant in the country.
Thank you to everyone who cares about Ukraine and fights for our country! We are preparing a new reinforcement for our warriors.
I thank everyone in the world who has the courage to call a spade a spade and defend life and the rules-based order!
Glory to Ukraine!
