Among other things, this includes the security of Kharkiv. The destruction of Russian terrorists' positions and launchers by our forces, our warriors, near the border really matters. It is working. Exactly as we expected.

This is Ukraine's success that for the first time in our history so many leaders and states have gathered for the sake of Ukraine and for the sake of peace. But peace is always the path. New steps are needed. And they will be taken.

We are responding to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine not only with a full-scale defense of human life, but also with full-scale diplomacy. These days united one hundred and one countries and international organizations, – big success for Ukraine and for all partners.

​Now we see that we all made the right choice – the choice of two security and one humanitarian points to start moving towards the restoration of full security and a just peace.

We must stop this war. Based on the UN Charter, respect for international law, the just interests of the Ukrainian people, and the idea of the undeniable value of human life – life, not war.

There will also be more equipment and other necessary supplies for the front. Decisions have been made regarding the use of Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine, with the G7 taking a significant first step regarding $50 billion.

Today we are signing two more security agreements with the United States and Japan. These are strong agreements. By doing so, we are completing the security architecture of relations between Ukraine and the Group of Seven – there will be seven agreements with all of you.

It is up to us, together with all our partners and everyone who values life and helps protect it now, to determine what the legacy of this time will be for Europe in the times to come. Will there be security? Will there be respect? Will there be peace? I am confident that we will choose the right answer.

No matter how the political environment in Europe changes, the fact of our reality is that all Europeans, without exception, need the European Union. Every nation that shares the common values of the entire Europe and wants to live, just like us, to live in peace.

At present, one of our main tasks is to secure more support for Ukraine in terms of the resilience of our society. This includes energy, recovery after attacks, and all other foundations of normal life.
