Speeches

I am grateful to every leader and every state that has embraced our arguments on security and is ready to help in ways that can steer the current situation toward peace.

We are about to have very active weeks working with our partners. Together with them, we have the strength to achieve a just peace.

Russia must permanently lose control over Ukraine and even the desire for such control. All these possibilities.

Today, I held a meeting of the Staff – an Energy Staff – to discuss all the key issues of winterization and the protection of energy facilities. Each service and all institutions have clear tasks. Reports were provided on each level of energy system protection.

Of course, the Victory Plan will be made public. Moreover, along with the initial response we have received from our partners. And all of us in Ukraine really need maximum support.

Now we are already preparing for new negotiations that will take place this week. We will continue to present our strategy for forcing Russia into peace to our European partners.

I thank every partner of Ukraine who has already invested in our Ukraine's defense industry. Thanks to such investments we have already significantly increased our production, especially of drones.

It is an important week of meetings with our friends in Europe – the largest defense donors and also the strategic region of the Balkans and Southeast Europe in general.

If Russia had succeeded in subjugating our country and threatening all of Eastern Europe, there’s no doubt that the next region Moscow would use to destabilize Europe would be the Baltics or Balkans. So we share a common interest in ensuring that Russia lacks the power to continue its aggression or interfere in the lives of other nations.
