President of Ukraine

Speeches

And for the victory of Ukraine – over the evil that has come to our land and must be expelled.

A separate discussion focused on drones - what's in the warehouses and what's needed at the front. Logistics will be expedited.

This year has shown that the potential of bilateral long-term support programs – not only from the world's most powerful countries – is a tool that not only helps effectively, but also sends a clear signal to everyone in the world – a signal of steadfast support for Ukraine.

In the coming days, we will officially initiate with the European Commission the process of assessing Ukrainian legislation for compliance with the EU acquis – the screening process. We are also preparing to work on the negotiation framework for Ukraine – we expect it in the spring.

We are preparing for further strengthening air defense – we have already reached agreements on this. The theme of air defense arises in almost every meeting and talk with world leaders. There will be more systems, more protection for the sky.

It is very important for the government to be in constant communication with local governments and for community leaders to understand the current situation, what our entire country is living through, and how important it is to be fully focused on defense and helping people.

This is a truly remarkable result for Ukraine and for the whole of Europe. Another step towards Ukraine's full membership in the EU.

I ask you one thing today – do not betray the people and their faith in Europe.

You’ve maintained your attention on Ukraine, just like at the war’s start. You wish for our victory and care about our people’s fate.
