He said this in his evening video address, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Thank you to everyone who fights and works for the sake of Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who helps! And today, special thanks to the United States. Our agreements with President Biden are being implemented. They are performed very aptly - ATACMS showed themselves," he said.
