Meanwhile, in the liberated territories, the de-occupied communities are coming back to life. Demining of the area is underway. Units of the National Guard of Ukraine are conducting stabilization measures. The work of the National Police has been resumed. The police are recording numerous crimes committed by the enemy on Ukrainian soil, and are ready to counter provocations and the infiltration of subversive and intelligence groups. The local population is immediately provided with all possible help, because the occupiers left behind destroyed infrastructure, destroyed houses of civilians and heaps of scrap metal.

Let's keep our weapons strong! We are waiting for good news!

We support the Armed Forces! Let's win together! We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Glory to Ukraine!
