For us, there can be no compromise with our territorial integrity, – Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak
More Key Points from Yermak at the “Ukraine. Year 2025” Forum:

Ukraine’s Economic Growth After the 2022 Decline – Minister of Economy Yuliia Svyrydenko:
- We are witnessing Ukraine’s economic growth following the historic decline in 2022.
- This growth is thanks to Ukrainian entrepreneurs and our international partners, who have provided direct budgetary support of $115 billion.
- The United States has contributed $35 billion.
Russian special services are not asleep; over the past three years, we have uncovered 102 agent networks.
This was stated by Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Maliuk.
They even planned to eliminate the Commander-in-Chief. They wanted to organize an assassination attempt on Budanov (head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine). The executors were supposed to be representatives of the State Guard Department (UDO) who had criminal intent. After this, Putin removed Beseda from his position. We have documented FSB handlers who financed agent operations. An assassination attempt was also planned on me (Maliuk), – Vasyl Maliuk added.
There are $350 billion worth of mineral resources in the occupied territory, – Minister of Economy of Ukraine
Our task as a government is to privatize enterprises in order to find an effective owner. There are $350 billion worth of mineral resources in the occupied territory. We are operating with old data, so geological exploration needs to be conducted. We can estimate the resources that exist “on paper.” – Yulia Svyrydenko
Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed forces commented ability to strike deeper in Russian territory:
We are already striking 1,700 km deep into Russia. And this distance is constantly increasing
The DPRK supplies 50% of the ammunition for Russia’s front. Deliveries of rockets for MLRS have begun. North Korea is participating in the war against us, – head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine Budanov
The Ukrainian foreign intelligence service is working with existing threats. We have an objective understanding of what is happening inside Russia, its plans regarding Ukraine and other states. We have studied the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses, – Oleh Ivashchenko, Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Does Putin want to end the war? No, he does not. Today, he wants all of Ukraine’s territory; tomorrow, he will target other European countries. Russia needs a pause to restore its economy, regroup its forces, and launch a new aggression against Ukraine.
Russia without Ukraine and Belarus is not an empire. Its economy is weak and showing signs of further decline. Next year, Russia may face serious and irreversible economic downturns.
Russia plans to produce more than 7 million rounds of ammunition and about 3,000 long-range missiles. These are strike weapons that almost every day destroy our infrastructure, — Oleh Ivashchenko said.
China is interested in a just end to the war in Ukraine, – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha
We had a meaningful conversation with Mr. Wang Yi. We invited him to Ukraine at the highest level. We discussed the issue of chairing the UN Security Council with China. We are grateful to China for its support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. We hope that China’s role will be active in advancing a just peace. Therefore, we will continue this dialogue, with particular attention paid to economic and trade cooperation, added Sybiha.
