We are working practically on a daily basis on air defense as well, engaging with every partner that can help with air defense systems and also with missiles. 

Protection against such a threat can only be a collective effort – no nation in the world should have to stand alone against it. And during this week, we have moved even closer to the decisions we need.

Today all the partners confirmed that next year they will continue to support Ukraine – our country, our resilience – especially the financial support, which is crucial.

We must create in Russia a will to negotiate. And I’m ready to meet in any meaningful format, and the current line of contact could be the starting point of negotiations, real negotiations.

A meeting with leaders in London has already taken place – this is the third positive development for Ukraine in just a few days. More sanctions against Russia are coming – and they will be aligned with the decision of the United States.

Today, we are opening an entirely new and truly meaningful chapter in our relations between Ukraine and Sweden. And more broadly, this also concerns overall security relations in Europe.

We held a meeting with the President of the United States, and we agreed to try to organize the dialogue exactly like that – along the current front line.

This is not an easy task, but it is one of the security guarantees for Ukraine – and it will work in the long term.

We will grant the aggressor no gifts and forget nothing. We clearly see: this Russia is a long-term threat.
