President Zelenskyy: State awards and ranks for our warriors must be granted faster

“Today, the Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported on Russia’s vulnerabilities. We also discussed the exchange process – implementation is ongoing for the agreements reached during the second meeting in Türkiye,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on July 8.

I wish you good health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today has brought several important decisions. First of all, I have signed decrees today awarding the titles of Hero of Ukraine to Nazarii Hryntsevych and Dmytro Fisher. The nomination and all relevant documents for Vitalii Karvatskyi have also been prepared. The decree will be issued once the necessary evaluations are complete. And it is important that the bestowing of state awards and special ranks on our warriors be faster and more thorough. Unfortunately, both the warriors themselves and their families currently have to wait far too long for their well-deserved awards due to various checks and bureaucratic procedures. The responsible officials must speed up these processes.

Today, I held a meeting with our military leadership: the Commander-in-Chief, the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, and the Security Service of Ukraine – regarding the situation at the front and our operations, including those on Russian territory.
