You cannot stand aside from the aggressive war waged by Russia against Ukraine if you share democratic principles. Defeating tyranny requires strong and effective support from people around the world. This was said by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a conversation with students and lecturers of leading institutions of higher education in Australia.

A lot of people worried and maybe still worry about the fact that it is necessary to act delicately and not to anger Russia. Regarding Russia being able to "save face". By now it should be obvious to everyone - all this is of no importance. It is impossible to anger those who are mad. It is impossible to save face for someone who does not want it.

When the world is united, when partners fulfill their commitments, the necessary result can be achieved.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with current OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Zbigniew Rau.

Japan's support is very important and valuable for Ukraine in the fight against the Russian aggressor, because the Ukrainian and Japanese people share the courage and willingness to fight for their land. This was stated by Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak in an interview with Japan's largest national broadcaster, the NHK TV channel.

The President of Ukraine separately informed Jens Stoltenberg about the situation on the battlefield and the need for Ukraine to quickly receive more heavy weapons from NATO member states in order to successfully repulse Russian attacks and proceed to a further counteroffensive.

"We must constantly tell the world how war takes away childhood from our children. We will emphasize to the international community that Russia regularly violates the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine. Russia damaged more than 2,000 educational institutions. But these are only buildings. Since February, it has nullified the educational process in principle, forced our children to hide in bomb shelters, starve and flee abroad. The world should hear about it and remember it every day," said Olena Zelenska.

The implementation of the Initiative on the export of Ukrainian grain and other agricultural products from our ports in the Black Sea began today. The first vessel carrying 26,000 tons of corn left the port of Odesa. As of now, it is too early to draw any conclusions and predict further events. But the port started working, the export traffic started.

Andriy Yermak and Jacob Sullivan agreed on the need to organize a conversation between the leaders of Ukraine and the United States - Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Joseph Biden - in the near future.

As part of the continued dialogue, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone conversation with President of France Emmanuel Macron. The substantive negotiations lasted one and a half hours.
