President of Ukraine

Speeches

Peace is the reward only for those strong. Thus, there is no alternative to a strong Europe. And unity is essential, of course, for strength.

We are fully aware: the Ukraine we want for our children is a Ukraine that has achieved lasting peace, has fulfilled all its reconstruction goals, and is using every connection to the global world in the right way. This is our collective effort.

In general, it was extremely important for us in Ukraine and for all of Europe to consistently hear the words of the then-45th President of the United States about "peace through strength." And if this becomes the policy principle of the 47th President of the United States, America and the whole world will undoubtedly benefit from it.

Terror, unfortunately, can spread like a virus when it does not meet sufficient counteraction. Now, our counteraction must be sufficient. Strong enough.

Today, there was also a separate report from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service on the North Korean troops in the territory of Russia. There are already 11,000 of them in the Kursk region.

We want true peace for Ukraine – for our land and for all our people. This is only fair. It is fair to bring home everyone torn away from their home by war.

Sanctions must be increased; they must be effective. And every scheme to circumvent sanctions is a crime against people and the world.

North Korea has tested a new ballistic missile. This occurred the day before. Record flight time and sufficient altitude. Yet the world is just watching. Watching as this threat grows.

We’re open to suggestions and perspectives from other countries. But for now, a clear, calculated vision of further actions together with partners is outlined in our Victory Plan. The key is to have the resolve to fulfill its points, and this will undoubtedly bring peace closer.

We truly feel your support, and we will always remember the heartfelt commitment of the Nordic nations in helping us defend our country, our people, our freedom. Thank you so much!
