During the meeting with the President of Kenya, William Ruto, they discussed the development of high-tech cooperation in various areas: investment attraction, agriculture and education. We are ready to share our experience with Kenya and implement joint projects. It was agreed that the teams would work out the details of possible cooperation. I thank Kenya for supporting the resolutions of Ukraine in the UN General Assembly. Particular attention was paid to cooperation within international organizations.
Met Prime Minister Keir Starmer. There are new important decisions by Great Britain in support of Ukraine and new sanctions against the Russian shadow fleet. Thank you! All this works for peace. Told Kir about the consequences of the recent Russian strikes. They talked about the possible participation of Great Britain in the restoration of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and the implementation of the agreements reached during today's meeting in the G7 format - Ukraine, potential directions for further pressure on Russia and steps to strengthen Ukrainian air defense. Thank you for the steadfast support…
I was very happy to see the President of the United Arab Emirates, Muhammad bin Zayed Al Nagayan, and it is important that we are always in substantive communication. We wish peace and security to every nation and leader who also help us in Ukraine. Ukraine supported the UAE and other states of the Gulf region at a difficult time. We are ready to continue working together to make our nations stronger. Thank you for your respect for Ukraine and Ukrainians!
During the meeting with the managing director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, they discussed support for Ukraine and agreed on further cooperation. He spoke about the implementation of reforms to strengthen the economy and create a transparent, competitive environment. A significant result is the successful completion of the foundation's recent mission. This is an important step for further strengthening the financial stability of Ukraine. We are grateful to the IMF for the support and programs that help maintain the stability of our economy. This is an important signal of confidence in Ukra…
Grateful to Canada for the new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to the Russian shadow fleet. We talked today about increased sanctions pressure on Russia during our meeting with Mark Carney. And it is important that there are such solutions. They also discussed the formats of defense cooperation, Canada's participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones based on the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. It is important that Canada continues to provide energy support and reconstruction assistance to Ukraine. Thank you Mark for the strong posi…
Good meeting with Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Mertz in Evian. They talked about defense support for Ukraine, primarily about the further strengthening of our air defense, the situation at the front and the results of Ukrainian long-range sanctions. Ways of implementing the agreements of today's meeting in the format of G7 - Ukraine were discussed separately. It is important that Ukraine's effectiveness on the battlefield and in long-range operations be complemented by effective global pressure on Russia. Thank you for supporting Ukraine and German leadership in protecting the lives…
The first multilateral meeting today is the G7 format - Ukraine at the G7 summit. Thank you to French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Malone, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, US President Donald Trump, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, European Council President Antonio Costa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for their participation and strong ideas on how to force Russia to make peace. The priorities are clear: increasing the number of air defense missiles and g…
It is always important to coordinate positions. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
Meetings at the G7 summit in France have already begun meaningfully. Emmanuel, Mr. President, thank you! The schedule for the day is serious. The main thing is to strengthen air defense for Ukraine and push diplomacy so that Russia ends its war. Peace is needed.
Ukrainian long-range ability was felt this time in the Moscow region. An oil refinery 500 kilometers away was hit. Thank you to the soldiers of the SBU, SBS, SSO, GUR, and missile forces for their effective work. Russia must be forced to end the war against our people. And Ukrainian long-range weapons are one of the important components of such coercion. This is a fair response to the Russian strikes and a response for prolonging the war, which must be ended. Glory to Ukraine!
During a meeting with President Guy Parmelain after his arrival in Geneva, he thanked Switzerland for all the support provided and, in particular, for its willingness to help bring peace closer. Informed Mr. President about constant Russian attacks and our needs to strengthen air defense. He spoke about the situation at the front and Ukrainian long-range sanctions. Our middle strikes and deep strikes quite rightly force Russia to feel the consequences of the war it unleashed. And we discussed which sanctions measures of partners can also force Russia to sit down at the negotiating table. They …
We offered Putin to meet in any place where real decisions could be made to end the war. He doesn't want that. We discussed with the USA and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia on the sidelines of the G7 with the participation of all democratic states. Putin does not want this. Yesterday we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the USA in a format in which it would be much more difficult for Putin to refuse at least President Trump. We'll see what comes of it. If Russia refuses even this chance, additional pressure will be needed. From an address …
We believe that one of the strongest responses that Europe can give to Russian attacks and constant acts of aggression is to accelerate our accession process, to accelerate the opening of clusters. It often seems that we always have to fight harder than others to move forward on our way to the EU. Ukraine has earned the right to move faster. And this is exactly the kind of political decision Europe needs today. We are ready to open all clusters. We have done our job. Everyone in Europe knows it. So let's move forward with the opening of the clusters without delay - the remaining five clusters …
What is happening today - the opening of the first cluster in the negotiations on the accession of Ukraine and Moldova - is a clear signal that the progress of Europe cannot be stopped. We have worked hard to get to this point. In recent years, Ukraine and Moldova have taken important steps together. And it is especially symbolic that today I am addressing you from Chisinau on my way to France, for the G7 summit. Our neighborly relations with Moldova are strong. We support each other and move towards the EU together. And together we will achieve this goal. From an address to the Intergovernmen…
Had a conversation with His Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at Chisinau airport on the way to the Group of Seven summit. I am grateful to His Holiness for his support and absolutely clear moral position: Russian drone strikes on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a shrine not only of Ukraine, but also of Orthodoxy in general, are barbarism for which there is no justification. We also discussed possible formats for personal meetings with Patriarch Bartholomew. Invited His Holiness to Ukraine. Thank you for your prayers for Ukraine and our people.

Now in Kyiv - in the Lavra and in the Art Arsenal - rescuers have already extinguished the fires. I am grateful to all the services that work at the sites of the attacks and to everyone who helps. It has been confirmed that two Russian drones purposefully attacked the part of the city where the Lavra and Mystetskyi Arsenal are located. As of now, there are 35 victims in Kyiv. In total, 53 people were wounded in the country and 11 people are known to have been killed by this massive Russian strike. My condolences to all relatives and friends. We are in constant communication with our partners r…
Liquidation of the consequences of Russian strikes continues in Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv. That night, the Russians launched more than 60 rockets at the capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were launched over Ukraine. As of now, it is known about 28 wounded and four dead in the capital. My condolences to all relatives and friends. As a result of the Russian attack on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the Dormition Cathedral - a church whose history began in the 11th century - burned down. And this is currently one of the biggest Russian crimes against Christian culture. The fire on the…
I have just spoken with the President of the United States, President Trump. I congratulated him on his birthday and on the U.S. Army Birthday – today, America marks two occasions. We had a very good conversation, and it was not only about congratulations – there were many key topics: the war, its roots, diplomatic opportunities, and the positions of our partners. We spoke at length and in great detail. We have one wish for President Trump – from all Ukrainians: that we may finally achieve peace, and achieve this success together with the U.S. and all our partners. This is the most important t…
