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!

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.

It is always important to coordinate positions. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

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…

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…

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 …

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.

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…

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 …

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 …

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…

Just had a great conversation with the President of the United States, Donald Trump. I wished President Trump a happy birthday, and we discussed quite a lot of key things, including, of course, peace. I wished President Trump well, primarily in his efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine. I also thanked him for all the support that America provides to Ukraine, and it is important that we gratefully remember every step of this support, from the Javelins to the Patriots. We discussed what could help bring peace now, and I briefed the President on the latest developments on the battlefield an…

I just spoke with the President of the United States of America - President Trump. I congratulated him on his birthday, on the day of the American army: today is two holidays in America, and we had a very good talk with him. There were not only congratulations - there were many key topics: about the war, about its roots, about diplomatic possibilities, and about the positions of our partners. They talked for a long time. Very detailed. We have one wish for President Trump – all Ukrainians – to finally achieve peace, so that we can achieve this success together with America, together with all o…

There are good results of our soldiers in the application of long-range sanctions against important objects on the territory of Russia and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. More than 700 kilometers from our state border - in the Yaroslavl region of Russia, soldiers of the SBU hit an oil facility that was important for the reserve of the aggressor state. Soldiers of our army achieved their goals in the Tula region of Russia - at the "Azot" enterprise, on whose activities the capacity for the production of explosives depends. Air traffic restrictions were applied at six Russian ai…

Russia inflicts hundreds of blows on Ukrainian cities and communities, attacking our civilian infrastructure every day. This week alone, the Russians launched 1,920 attack drones, 1,790 guided aerial bombs and 17 missiles of various types over Ukraine. There should be more resistance to these strikes. We are preparing for meetings with partners to strengthen our defense against this Russian terror. G7, EU and NATO summits are ahead. And it is very important that these negotiations end with concrete decisions. We look forward to meaningful meetings with partners. First of all, we need support f…

Thank you to all friends of Ukraine and everyone who helps us obtain important information and supports Ukrainian intelligence operations. There were reports of our intelligence on the results of the work on the assessment of the internal Russian situation and the acquisition of documents that end up on the table of the head of Russia. We understand that Putin is rarely presented with completely truthful information without embellishments. But even what he sees in the documents that reach him still allows him to draw conclusions. In particular, the so-called predictive indicators of dissatisfa…

We hear from many leaders that not only Europe needs Ukraine, but Ukraine also needs Europe, and this is true. And taking into account the long-term intentions of Russia - the fact that Russian bases are now being built near Europe, even where there were no military bases in Soviet times - this clearly shows that without Ukraine, without our capabilities and our experience, it can be extremely difficult for Europe. All this must be taken into account. Security challenges from Russia - not for one year and not for five years. Russia has chosen a long-term anti-European, anti-democratic strategy…
