As part of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative of the President of Ukraine, an event was held in Kyiv to remind about Russia’s brutal crimes against Ukrainian children and the need for international community support to stop them.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Kruty Heroes Lviv Lyceum for Advanced Military and Physical Training and spoke with students and teachers.

The Head of State laid flowers on the graves of defenders at the Field of Honor for Heroes at Lychakiv Cemetery, where, since April 2022, warriors who have fallen in battles against Russian occupiers have been laid to rest.

The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine briefed the representatives of civil society on a constructive meeting between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations in Jeddah.

A separate topic of discussion was the U.S. proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine immediately agreed to it, but for its implementation to begin, Russia must stop setting conditions. Additionally, the leaders paid special attention to the work of their teams on formulating clear security guarantees. Ukraine supports France’s position on this matter.

Ukraine’s defense production capacity, combined with partner investments – primarily from Europe – forms a reliable foundation for a new security architecture that will inevitably be established on our continent. There is no alternative to this.

The Ukrainian President expressed his condolences to Javier Milei and the people of Argentina over the flooding that claimed 16 lives and left thousands of families homeless.
