President of Ukraine

Speeches

No element of Ukrainian life is fragile anymore and will never be fragile. And our resilience is a powerful contribution to the resilience of all freedom-loving nations in the world.

Nine years after the Revolution of Dignity, the battle for our independence continues. For an independent, free and powerful Ukraine, European and democratic, independent and united. And there is no doubt that we will protect all this, that we will make the dream of Ukrainian heroes come true.

I will continue this format of work both at the Staff and in informing on defense management. I want our people to know and understand what we prepare and control, and how we do that.

Every Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv and the region, Sumy region and Donetsk region, Khmelnytsky, our Nikopol, and every corner of our state will have concrete legal consequences for the terrorist state. It applies not only to the evil that Russia has brought since February 24 but also since 2014. We remember everything.

Our diplomatic marathon continues without a break – since my visit to Washington in December.

If Russia, God forbid, is successful in any way, the balance in the world will change. Not in favor of law. But in favor of violence.

There is no alternative to Ukrainian victory. There is no alternative to Ukraine in the EU. There is no alternative to Ukraine in NATO. There is no alternative to our unity. Hence, there is no and should not be any alternative to completely get rid of Russian aggression.

We are grateful for Ukraine's support, attention to Ukraine, solidarity with Ukraine. Proof of this is the official badge for participants and guests of the Berlinale – the Golden Bear, which this year has become blue and yellow.

Moving forward with the further liberation of our land is a priority that we are carefully preparing. I had several important international conversations today. Exactly those that strengthen us.

The main difference between March last year and February this year is confidence. Confidence that the free world will not betray the values of freedom. Confidence that Ukraine will not be left alone with such an enemy.
