Dear Ukrainians, I wish you health!
It is nice to end this week with good results for the state – in terms of weapons, international support, expanding our ties with the world, and our movement towards NATO.
The most important thing these days is, of course, the visit to Poland, our agreements, our achievements.
Poland has fulfilled everything declared regarding tanks: they are already in Ukraine, in particular the Leopards. There are new agreements regarding BMP – more than a hundred vehicles. As for armored personnel carriers – “Rosomak” – 200 vehicles. A hundred now, and a hundred later. There are also self-propelled mortars, additional missiles, MiGs…
By the way, we also have important agreements regarding the economy, regarding the reconstruction of Ukraine – in particular, for our Kharkiv region.
At the level of the first ladies of Ukraine and Poland, there are various humanitarian and medical projects. In particular, this is the training of our doctors in complex assistance to patients with burns and emergency air evacuation of the wounded, in particular in war zones. Dozens of our doctors have already undergone or are undergoing such training. And the project will continue – training in rehabilitation, training of Ukrainian psychologists.
That is, in this struggle for life and freedom, we are really side by side with our Polish brothers and sisters – in all spheres. And I thank you for such constant, diverse and large-scale support!
There is also a new, already 35th defense package from the USA. Missiles for “Highmars”, missiles for anti-aircraft defense, shells for artillery, for protection against armored vehicles and other important support elements. Thank you, America!
German support for Ukraine this week increased by 200 million euros of investments in our country. In particular, these are projects of German companies that will help our economic and, therefore, social stability. Thanks, Germany!
The Netherlands announced a package of more than 270 million euros. This is to help us rebuild, humanitarian, non-lethal support for defense and – and this is very important – support for justice. To collect evidence of Russian crimes, to create a Register of damages caused by Russian aggression. Thank you to the Netherlands for the fact that we are together in all areas of life protection!
Denmark and Norway are working on a joint package of ammunition support for our artillery. Thanks for that!
There are new sanctions decisions from Australia and New Zealand. Thanks for them!
He continued his appeals to the parliaments of the world and for the first time addressed the parliament in Latin America, the parliament of Chile.
In fact, the values that we are all fighting for here in Ukraine are close to every nation, regardless of whether they are geographically far away from us.
Everyone values security and protection from terror. There is no such nation that would approve of what the Russian occupation brought: Russian concentration camps, the deportation of our children, the rape of women, the burning of cities…
The more the world knows about Russian aggression, the faster the aggressor will lose and peace will return. It will return not only to Ukraine – it will return to everyone in the world. I thank Chile for the support!
A very important decision was made this week in Lithuania – regarding the main expectations from the NATO summit, which is planned in Vilnius.
The Lithuanian Seimas recognized the need to invite Ukraine to become a member of NATO – to invite it this year, at the summit in Vilnius.
I thank the Lithuanian people, all Lithuanian politicians for understanding the current security situation in Europe. Only together with Ukraine will the Alliance guarantee real protection for Europe against any encroachment on the lives of peoples – on the existing borders and international order based on rules. But it is difficult to imagine strength without Ukraine.
This decision of the Lithuanian Seimas will continue in the coming weeks and months. We are already working on it.
And of course, thanks to our soldiers. To everyone! The Armed Forces of Ukraine and border guards, the National Guard and the police, intelligence and the SBU, the State Special Communications Service and the State Emergency Service… Everyone who is currently in battle. Who protects our sky. Who gives Ukraine cyber protection and protects communication. Everyone who holds our border. Who trains our new brigades. Who eliminates the consequences of the strikes, who saves our people from injuries and who prepares sentences for the occupiers.
Glory to all who fight for Ukraine! Thanks to all partners for the powerful help!
Glory to Ukraine!
