All Russian criminals must face a mandatory and principled punishment - President's speech at the International Conference in The Hague on holding Russia accountable for crimes in Ukraine
14 July 2022 - 17:11
I believe that the International Criminal Court will inevitably ensure the liability of those guilty of crimes under its jurisdiction: war crimes, crimes against humanity, the crime of genocide. And I am grateful to all our partners who support us along the way.
If we manage to remove the Russian threat to navigation in the Black Sea, it will remove the severity of the world food crisis - address by the President of Ukraine
13 July 2022 - 22:11
We are indeed making significant efforts to restore the supply of food to the world market. And I am grateful to the United Nations and Turkey for their respective efforts. The success of this story is needed not only by our state, but also, without exaggeration, by the whole world.
Russian tactics must not become the norm, the world order must be restored - address by the President of Ukraine to the participants of the "Asian Leadership" conference in Seoul
13 July 2022 - 15:04
When Ukraine turns to partners for weapons for its defense and for strengthening sanctions against a terrorist state, it is not only about our defense. And I am sincerely grateful to the Republic of Korea, which realizes that this is the situation, that we should act together.
Now Ukraine not only implements NATO standards, but also can participate in the development of new standards - address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
12 July 2022 - 22:42
Ukraine will be able to defend itself. Ukraine will be able to rebuild itself. Ukraine will be able to fulfill all its foreign policy goals.
The decision on the exception to sanctions will be perceived in Russia exclusively as a manifestation of weakness - address by the President of Ukraine
11 July 2022 - 22:32
Every concession in such conditions is perceived by the Russian leadership as an incentive for further, stronger pressure. Russia has never played by the rules in the energy sector and it will not play now unless it sees strength.
The retreat of the occupiers from Ukrainian land is inevitable, as is their punishment, but we must fight together for this - address by the President of Ukraine
10 July 2022 - 22:25
A lot still needs to be done so that Russian losses really cause a pause. Moreover, the pause not before new offensives of the occupiers, but before their retreat from our Ukrainian land. And I am grateful to all our fighters who are bringing this time closer.
Russia's terrorist actions can be stopped only with modern, high-precision, potent weapons – address of President of Ukraine
9 July 2022 - 22:15
I want to thank the United States of America for the decision to provide Ukraine with a new defense aid package in the amount of $400 million. Additional HIMARS launchers units and other high-precision weapons allow us to take precisely anti-terrorist steps and reduce Russian attack capabilities.
Officials on the ground must do more than possible to guarantee people a normal standard of living in wartime conditions – address of President of Ukraine
9 July 2022 - 00:37
I also held all the necessary meetings with the leaders of Dnipropetrovsk region in general and Kryvy Rih district in particular – both military and civilian. Officials must do not just everything possible, but much more than even possible, to guarantee people a normal standard of living even in such wartime conditions.
Address by the President to the Parliament of Slovenia
8 July 2022 - 16:45
We don't just enjoy freedom, we have made its defense a key goal of our anti-war coalition. We have not just achieved a new unity on the European continent, but are taking new and strong security, political and economic steps on its basis. And legal steps are next, namely: bringing Russian war criminals to justice.
In each direction, our partners have accurate information about our defense needs. This concerns air defense, modern MLRS.
