He met with the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, and the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Har Stere. Informed about contacts at the level of leaders in the format of E3 - Ukraine and with the American side. Now, all our partners note that Ukraine's position at the front is much stronger, and therefore, the approaches in diplomacy, which we are currently working to intensify, should be based on this. Unfortunately, Russia is trying to compensate for its huge losses on the battlefield with attacks on our cities and communities, civilian infrastructure. Therefore, anti-aircraft missiles are …

The first meeting with the new Prime Minister of Latvia Andris Kulbergs and an important result for our countries - the Drone Deal was signed. These are concrete things to strengthen joint protection, co-production. And it is important that it is also the expertise and experience of Ukraine to strengthen our partners. We are building this systematic cooperation with those who consistently supported us during all the years of the Russian war. Ukraine is interested in ensuring that every region of Europe has sufficient protection against Russian threats. I also informed the Prime Minister about …

Had a meeting with the President of Estonia Alar Karis. Today, a special format of cooperation is Ukraine and the states of Northern Europe and the Baltic States. Thanks to Estonia for organizing our work here today. We discussed with the President the main thing that is important now - a clear move in diplomacy, strengthening of the Air Defense Forces, and also support for our movement towards membership in the European Union. We are very much looking forward to strong political decisions of the EU, which can and should be adopted already in the summer. Ukraine has done everything necessary t…

LIVE . Communication with the media together with the leaders of the Northern European and Baltic countries.

Ukraine will continue to respond to any strikes by the Russian Federation and apply its fair long-range sanctions. Russia wants to escalate relations within the European Union: when our response to Russian strikes comes and a drone appears in the sky of Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia, we understand that the Russians can change the course of our drones. These were isolated cases thanks to electronic warfare systems. We already have the experience of relevant work with the countries of the Middle East. We sent our expert teams - they taught us what to do under certain threats. And these are fast e…

The ideal solution in peace negotiations is to urgently end the war. At least the first step to take is an unconditional complete ceasefire. This is important. Ceasefire is also a complex process. Yes, it is about political will and decision, but at the same time, today there are kill zones of 20, 30, 40 kilometers. If there are no guarantors and monitoring of the ceasefire, Russia can take advantage of this and advance 20 kilometers in some parts of Ukraine. This is a big risk. That is why we say: no conditions for a ceasefire. In order for there to be a ceasefire, it is better to have a meet…

Thanks to Estonia and personally to Kristen Michal for supporting Ukraine. This is really valuable for us. During the meeting, he awarded the Prime Minister with the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise II degree. And today there is an important step between our countries: they signed a Joint Declaration on strengthening cooperation in the field of security and defense. Exchange of experience, cooperation in the defense industry and air defense is an important document that consolidates all these areas. We are also continuing work on the Drone Deal format. We appreciate all contributions from Est…

Europe is strongest when Europeans act together, not in isolation. This is exactly what we achieve in all our formats. On Sunday, a meeting was held in the format Ukraine - E3. Today - Ukraine - NB8. In addition, we maintain constant contact with the United States. Together, we are preparing for the upcoming EU and NATO summits, as well as meetings within the framework of the G7 summit. All of these can provide real results.

Summit Ukraine - the countries of Northern Europe and the Baltic States. I want to thank Estonia for hosting. The NB8 format is very practical. There are three key priorities. First.

I am also grateful to our partners for their willingness t…

We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, this night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos hit a military factory in Cheboksary, which supplies the occupying army with components for drones and missiles. Thank you ZSU for the accuracy! The Kuibyshevsky oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the front line is more than 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the soldiers of the SSO, SBS and GUR. The SBU and two oil infrastructure facilities in the Volodymyr region at a distance of 700 kilometers…

Since the beginning of the week, 11 of our regions have been under attack: in less than three days, the Russians used almost 530 drones and two guided air missiles against Ukraine. To the list of new victories, Russia added a container ship sailing under the flag of Panama, agricultural enterprises, railway and energy facilities, and most of all, ordinary residential buildings. Dozens of people were injured. Every day, the diplomatic work of Ukraine should be aimed at strengthening the defense of our sky. These days there have been many international meetings and negotiations on air defense an…

Today, he signed a decree establishing a new special day - the Day of Unmanned Systems Forces. From now on, it is June 11 every year. The day of our respect, our gratitude to SBS. For the first time in the world, it was in Ukraine that we created this type of forces, we are developing the SBS as much as possible, and it was the Ukrainians who proved that thanks to technology, thanks to their creativity and courage, we can change the war - we can achieve such goals that were either completely unattainable for conventional weapons, or extremely difficult to achieve and required an insane expendi…

Today, I signed a decree establishing a new special day – the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces. From now on, it will be observed every year on June 11. A day of our respect and gratitude to the USF. For the first time in the world, such a branch of the military was created - in Ukraine. We are developing the USF to the max, and it is Ukrainians who have proven that through technology, ingenuity, and courage, we can change the nature of warfare. We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve and required …

Today we celebrate the Day for the first time Forces of unmanned systems , and from now on June 11 every year will be the day of our gratitude to the soldiers of the SBS. It is impossible to imagine a modern war without drones, and Ukrainian unmanned systems work successfully at various levels: from performing tasks at the front to destroying important enemy facilities hundreds of kilometers deep into its territory. All this is recorded, and thanks to the accuracy and skill of our operators, Russia's losses have long exceeded 30 thousand killed and wounded per month. Thank you to everyone who …

Today we present the first results of "Millennium". The feedback we received during this time is to some extent historical. More than 2,600 applications for the competition. Hundreds of film, documentary, music, visual and performance art projects and more than 150 experts - well-known and authoritative people in the industry who will judge it. I thank each and every one of you – participants, experts, the state team that implements the program.

I talked with the figures of our cinema, music, and art. To everyone who is united by a common goal: this is the emergence of a new, high-quality and cool Ukrainian cultural product. They talked about the support of our cultural environment, the distribution of Ukrainian content on international platforms, among Ukrainian youth, and the future development of the "Tysyachovesna" program. We want to support our actors. Culture is definitely the shield of Ukraine and our identity. The shield must be strong. And our content should be no less than that of the enemy. Undoubtedly, the number will inc…

He honored the soldiers of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with state awards, presented the "Golden Star" order to the family of the fallen Hero, who was awarded this title posthumously, and handed over combat flags to the units. The power of unmanned systems is one of the greatest achievements of Ukraine, which proves Ukrainian leadership in technology and in saving lives thanks to technology. The number of Russian targets hit thanks to our SBS of the Armed Forces is already hundreds of thousands per year, and only for the past year from today - June to June - it is …
