00:00:04,559 –> 00:00:07,519
workers in the troubled Ukraine who have been supporting the

military with production of weapons to enable the European country

4
00:00:11,359 –> 00:00:14,759
defend itself against Russia invasion that has been on since

5
00:00:14,880 –> 00:00:19,399
February twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, when President Vladimir Putin

6
00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:23,120
of Russia declared full scale war on its closest neighboring

7
00:00:23,199 –> 00:00:28,320
and formerly brotherly country Ukraine. This President Zelensky said that

8
00:00:28,399 –> 00:00:31,000
more than forty percent of all the weapons used in

9
00:00:31,079 –> 00:00:35,759
all the front lines to defend Ukraine are made in Ukraine. Zelensky,

00:00:35,759 –> 00:00:39,399
at an award ceremony held on Wednesday in Kiev, personally

00:00:39,439 –> 00:00:42,880
presented the awards of honors to the beneficiary workers with

00:00:46,679 –> 00:00:51,920
the country. Zelensky said, in thus, today I honored workers

14

15
00:00:56,119 –> 00:00:58,799

16

to defend Ukraine a man in Ukraine, and the trend

17
00:01:02,399 –> 00:01:06,000
is clear. Ukraine will keep ramping up production to ensure

18
00:01:06,079 –> 00:01:10,599
its own security, both independently and in cooperation with partners.

19
00:01:11,319 –> 00:01:14,760
I’m grateful to everyone working in our defense industry for

20
00:01:14,799 –> 00:01:19,319
your dedication. Ukraine will always need its own powerful weapons

21
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:23,719
to secure a strong Ukrainian state. Ukraine will always need

22
00:01:23,760 –> 00:01:26,599
its own technological edge to make it clear to Russia

23
00:01:26,640 –> 00:01:30,640
that we will respond to every attack. Meanwhile, Russia on

24
00:01:30,719 –> 00:01:35,480
Wednesday attacked Ukraine with more drone bombardments. According to Zelenski,

25
00:01:35,799 –> 00:01:38,840
it was a difficult night in Nepro. A Russian drone

26
00:01:38,920 –> 00:01:44,120
strike hit the city. They targeted ordinary residential buildings, ordinary

27
00:01:44,159 –> 00:01:49,560
civilian infrastructure. The rubble is still being cleared. Currently sixteen

28
00:01:49,599 –> 00:01:53,599
people are in city hospitals. In total, twenty eight people

29
00:01:53,640 –> 00:01:59,560
were injured, including four children. All of them are receiving assistance. Tragically,

30
00:02:00,040 –> 00:02:02,959
three people were killed by this Russian strike, among them

31
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:07,480
a girl, Veronica. She was only seventeen years old. My

32
00:02:07,640 –> 00:02:11,599
condolences to the families and loved ones. Odessa was also

33
00:02:11,759 –> 00:02:16,560
struck by drones. Three people were wounded. Residential buildings, a

34
00:02:16,639 –> 00:02:20,599
pharmacy and a church were damaged. The Sumi region came

35
00:02:20,719 –> 00:02:24,800
under aerial bomb attacks, while Kharkivan Dunyest regions were hit

36
00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:29,319
by Russian ballistic missiles. Every defense package from our partners

37
00:02:29,360 –> 00:02:32,319
for Ukraine right now, every form of support from the

38
00:02:32,360 –> 00:02:35,840
world for our resilience is literally the protection of lives.

39
00:02:36,680 –> 00:02:40,120
Russia uses every day and every night to kill. Pressure

40
00:02:40,199 –> 00:02:42,759
must be applied to the killers, and life must be

41
00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:45,599
helped to stop this war and insure a reliable peace.

42
00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:48,919
I want to thank all our partners who are using

43
00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:53,520
their capabilities for this very purpose. Wars are stopped through strength,

44
00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:58,080
strength against the aggressor strength in defense of life. We

45
00:02:58,199 –> 00:03:01,599
had reported the numbers of eyewitness videos made available by

46
00:03:01,639 –> 00:03:05,400
