President of Ukraine

Speeches

And it is imperative to bring Russia, every war criminal, all those involved in the deportation of our people, those involved in the torture of prisoners to justice.

Wars truly end with justice when the evil that gave rise to them is quelled. And that is why a sense of justice and a pursuit of peace must go hand in hand. This requires, in particular, not forgetting about Crimea.

We have already achieved much – and the world feels that Putin can lose this war. And when he loses, it will mean that not just someone wins, but the entire global community of nations – and international law as such – will prevail. We must ensure this.

A nation that endured in the first three days. And didn't fall on the fourth. And fought for the fifth day. And then a month. And then six months. And now two years. Battles for freedom. Battles for life. Heroically fought by incredible people.

I am confident that the world will never forget Bucha and Mariupol. The stories of the tragedies of this war will be on millions of screens, and therefore in billions of hearts.

We are now preparing to continue our extremely active international work in the coming weeks. There will be new agreements that will strengthen our troops, the defense of our cities, and the position of our state.

Russian madness must lose this war. We will do everything for this.

There are good results with regard to Russian military aircraft. Seven combat aircraft – Russian "Su" jets – were shot down in a week. Thank you, our warriors, for your accuracy.

Możemy zrobić wszystko, aby przewrócić tę nieprzyjemną stronę i ponownie uczynić współpracę i wzajemną siłę kolejną stroną naszych relacji.

We can do everything to turn this disagreeable page and make the next chapter of our relations one of cooperation and mutual strength again.
