President of Ukraine

Speeches

Ukraine is not alone now, not on its own in its defense, and that is precisely why we can count on bringing this war to an end – because we have friends, and France is our friend.

Our agreements with Greece today are an important part of the large energy package we have prepared for this winter to ensure gas supplies to Ukraine.

A historic agreement has also been prepared with France – there will be a significant strengthening of our combat aviation, air defense, and other defense capabilities.

The key is to submit the application through Diia or Ukrposhta, and to do it before Christmas, by December 24. The money should arrive within ten days of the application being submitted.

We also had important discussions today with our military regarding our missile program and its progress. Our “Long Neptunes” have already proven themselves in delivering long-range sanctions against Russia, and each month we’re achieving greater results with our missiles.

We had a very detailed discussion today with the commanders about what exactly is needed to strengthen our positions and how to reinforce this direction, an important one. I am grateful for the thorough information about the difficulties here, in the Zaporizhzhia region.

I will sign a decree to impose sanctions on two individuals implicated in the NABU case concerning Energoatom.

I thank every one of our warriors who fought for Kherson, and everyone who is defending this beautiful city now – defending the lives of our people.

It is extremely important that the occupier has achieved no significant results. The Pokrovsk sector, the areas of Dobropillia, and the Donetsk region in general – we are defending our positions. We are holding the line in all other sectors of the front as well, and this is the most significant result for our state.

Today, Ukraine introduced sanctions. Russia continues its war, and in response, there must be our strong pressure with partners – pressure that is truly tangible for Russia, that brings them losses and that is felt politically.
