Quote: "Today was a busy day. First, the meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The main focus is on the battles for Avdiyivka and Bakhmut, for Luhansk region, for each of those directions where the enemy is trying to break the defense of the whole of Ukraine.

Second, the NSDC staff, together with the Government, together with ministries, is preparing a new potent list of sanctions against persons who work for aggression. They will be blocked.

Third, I held a long meeting devoted to energy, both strategic issues – the development and protection of our energy system under any conditions, and current issues – the energy supply of our people and Ukrainian business."

Details: Zelenskyy also said that a "new tradition of respect" towards the rituals of Muslims was being added to the official life of Ukraine.

"Hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Ukraine and the Muslim community of the world – different countries, different nations – observe a strict fast during the holy month of Ramadan. When the sun sets, the Iftar dinner takes place. In Ukraine, it is respected everywhere, and even at the frontline, even in combat conditions."

"Therefore, starting this year, such a special event of respect will be held annually in Ukraine with the participation of the Head of State. And today for the first time – in the Crimean Tatar cultural center."

Zelenskyy decorated Muslim soldiers on 7 April.

The President also signed several decrees on awarding state decorations to 771 soldiers. He noted that a total of 43,500 Ukrainian defenders have received state awards during the full-scale war.

Zelenskyy also congratulated those who celebrate the Annunciation on 7 April.

"And I congratulate everyone who celebrates the Annunciation today! We pray for the victory of our soldiers and the salvation of all our people from the evil of occupation!"
