The invaders are lying, I am in Kyiv, the defence directorate is in full control

Another address by the Ukrainian Defence Minister to citizens. Oleksii Reznikov urges the population not to engage in Russian propaganda and not to believe the disinformation spread in the interests of the Kremlin. According to the minister, the Ukrainian government has not left the country:

"I am in Kyiv. The security protocol also requires a change of venue for emergency meetings. All deputy defence ministers are working on their functional tasks. They are all present in the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff and carry out their duties.

Defence management is fully monitored and carried out in all areas where Russia has attacked our country. I am constantly with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Ukraine. I am also in talks with international partners.

The army continues to inflict significant damage on the enemy, destroying the occupants' equipment and personnel.

We will definitely win!

Glory to Ukraine!" - Reznikov's address reads.
