President of Ukraine

Speeches

I have nothing to say about most items of the necessary assistance from Israel to Ukraine, but the future relations between our states are important to me, so I speak frankly.

From the very morning I continued the telephone marathon for a positive decision on the candidacy for Ukraine. 11 leaders today. We must provide maximum support to our state. We expect a key European decision tomorrow night.

Ukraine and Canada are separated by the ocean and 7 thousand kilometers, but there is a full mutual understanding between us. Ukraine and Russia are separated by a common border, but there is a huge abyss between us. In words, actions and most importantly - values.

We are just days away from the European Union's historic decision on Ukraine. And I am sure that none of us – none of you – have any doubt that Ukraine should get a positive decision. We deserve it! And we deserve it not only for our bravery and our fight for freedom.

We do not decrease our activity for a single day. The lives of thousands of people depend directly on the speed of our partners - on the speed of implementation of their decisions to help Ukraine.

Speak of Ukraine! Don't let the world switch to something else! The world must remember that Ukraine is fighting for freedom. This fight must end in our victory as soon as possible.

Step by step, we are going through a crucial week and we are doing everything every day so that no one has any doubts that Ukraine deserves the candidacy. We prove every day that we are already part of a united European, I would even say, value space.

It is a special moment now. The moment when it is being decided whether peace will come to Ukraine soon. And I urge you - be active! I am grateful to Italy for its principled position. But we need to do even more for Ukraine to win.

Our number one task now is to finally get rid of the threat of famine. If it wasn't for the Russian war, you would be in a completely different position now - completely safe. That is why, in order to avoid famine, the efforts of states like Russia to return to the aggressive policy of colonialism must end.

Ukraine must be a participant in the Three Seas Initiative. We need to find a format in which we can implement the accession.
