Mr. Oleksandr Merezhko:

Thank you, Chairman. First, I am grateful to you personally for coming to Kyiv and Ukraine several times. It is extremely important because it is a sign of solidarity and friendship with us. It sent a very strong and powerful signal to our society when your speakers came to Kyiv and when you came to Kyiv. Please come to Kyiv again. Next year will mark two years since the full scale invasion. Ahead of us is a very difficult winter. We know that Russia has accumulated enough drones and missiles to destroy us economically and to destroy our power grid but we are determined to survive and win, no matter what. However, we need your support and your help. We are talking about a war of attrition. We do not know for how much longer the war will continue; it might be a very protracted conflict. It might be a marathon but when we have friends behind us, when we have friends standing with us and supporting us, we can win and we should win. That is why my appeal to you is to continue to support the Ukrainian people. It matters a lot and means a lot to us. Thank you for everything you have already done for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
