President of Ukraine

Speeches

Thank you to all our people, everyone who remembers that the most important thing is to take care of Ukraine, of Ukrainians, and of each other. To find your place in the national resistance against Russian aggression. To fight for Ukraine. To work for Ukraine.

Unity will certainly work effectively. The unity of all who help Ukraine defeat ruscism. And we will defeat it.

I thank all the warriors who are holding their positions firmly and eliminating the occupiers. This week has significantly increased Russian losses. This is how it should be.

Of course, we all must realize that the enemy is not simple and won't become simpler. But Ukraine must become – and will become – stronger.

The enemies of freedom are very interested in bringing the free world to the second front… We must clearly see this scenario and counter it – together, of course.

Tomorrow, I have the European Council meeting in my schedule, at the level of EU leaders. Among other topics, I will specifically discuss this: sanctions against Russia need to be expanded and strengthened.

I want to say separately to all our people in Crimea, in Sevastopol, in all the occupied areas of the South and East of our state, in the currently occupied areas. All of you feel that the Russian presence on our land is not permanent. Ukraine will reclaim its territory and its people. We will not leave anyone to the occupiers.

Now, by working together, we can combine the best qualities of our nations and jointly – Ukraine and Germany – offer a chance for our Europe to grow.
