The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has been fighting against the Russian invaders for 11 months.

He said that all steps necessary for victory will be taken. 

He said this on January 23 during his traditional address. 

"Tomorrow will be exactly 11 months of full-scale war. It will be the 335th day. The day we will spend the same as 334, uniting all our forces for the sake of one thing - for the sake of victory. For the sake of the victory of Ukraine. Not someone against someone from among us themselves. And for the sake of all of Ukraine. For the sake of the victory of our entire state in the war for freedom and independence for all Ukrainians. It will happen. And all the steps necessary for this will be taken," the president said. 

Volodymyr Zelenskyi also thanked the Ukrainian defenders who protect Ukraine from the Russian invasion and destroy the enemy aircraft that are killing Ukrainians. 

"I thank all our soldiers at the front! Today I would like to specially mention our anti-aircraft fighters of the Air Force - you gave us a good day. Russian planes, rotorcraft, missiles were shot down. And I also thank the fighters of the 35th separate brigade of marines and the 79th separate airborne of the assault brigade for bravery and the results Ukraine needs in the Donetsk direction. Thank you, guys! Thank you to everyone who steadfastly defends the positions of our state! Glory to Ukraine!" - said the president. 

It will be recalled that on January 23, the Armed Forces shot down two Russian Su-25 aircraft, a Ka-52 helicopter, two Kh-52 missiles and an Orlan drone, which were used by Russian terrorists to attack Ukraine.

As of January 23, the Russian occupation army lost 121,480 invaders, 287 planes, 277 helicopters, and 3,150 tanks.
