Ukraine is capable of changing the course of the war in the interests of our state, in the interests of our independence, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, speaking at one of the training centers for missile troops and artillery units on Friday.

"In particular, our artillery soldiers, our rocket men, warriors are capable, I congratulate you on your day," he said on the Day of Missile Forces and Artillery and the Day of Engineering Troops.

"Ukrainian missile forces and artillery have become one of the most powerful in the world. This is a fact. And not only thanks to all the powerful guns and artillery systems that we have now, our soldiers that we see at the front, but thanks to our special Ukrainian attitude to life, to protection," the President said.

According to him, "Ukrainians are able to be effective even in such conditions when the occupier prevails due to his resources and how he devalues human life. Ukrainians are able to surprise with powerful hits on the occupier, on his positions, on his systems, and even when the majority does not believe in the realism of one or another of our strikes."

By the way, he noted, "I want to thank our rocket guys in one of the southern directions for a hit, a powerful hit this night."

According to him, "the Ukrainian engineering troops perform a wide range of tasks, perform it daily as part of offensive actions, open the way in the enemy's barriers. Ensuring the stability and reliability of our defense, engineering troops equip fortifications and prepare our Ukrainian positions."

"Ukraine is already passing the 618th day of Russia's brutal full-scale aggression. Whatever the difficulties, no matter what, Ukraine is fighting and getting the right results. Despite everything, every day and night our soldiers strike powerful blows at the occupier," Zelenskyy said.
