We are always grateful to those partners who here in Ukraine, and together with our people, support and go through the Russian strikes. Especially when Russia rattles off ballistics every day. I briefed on the consequences of today's strike, and we also talked about the further implementation of the PURL and…

We are working as much as possible with all partners who can help with the supply of interceptor missiles to protect against such inadequate Russian strikes on life, people and civilian objects. I spoke today with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about the whole situation. Mark is well informed about the threats, and we have coordinated our activity with countries that have the necessary missiles and the capacity to help.

Putin's puzzle is to return to what has already fallen apart. The stronger and more independent the countries from the former Soviet Union are, the more difficult it will be for him. Ukraine is the key in this puzzle. He wants to break us. If he succeeded, it would be easier with other countries of the post-Soviet era and space - with full respect to all countries. Everyone knows this and highly appreciates the contribution of Ukraine, so precious, with their lives, to the independence of other …

Pavel Palisa's report on the results of the implementation of our defense agreements with partners. It is important that there is daily coordination. The first is air defense. We are working with the American side and partners in Europe to get the necessary support packages for Ukraine. It is not easy, but we expect that the result will be. Missiles for air defense are needed in our launchers, not in warehouses somewhere far from real threats. Second, work is ongoing to localize the types of Wes…

The Ukrainian position, our opinion, our view, our narratives, our needs should be and sound accessible in podcasts, social networks, bloggers and influencers. But at the same time - and in each of the usual media that still influence, are quoted, have political significance and a real opportunity to maintain attention to Ukraine, and therefore to strengthen support for Ukraine and respect for our community in the country. To ensure that there is always a result for Ukraine, you and your key emp…

Ukraine continues to do everything we can to ensure that this war has the prospect of a diplomatic end. One of the key theses of Ukraine's opponents and those who trust not very reliable sources is that we in Ukraine seem to want the war to continue. Your task is to consistently, reasonedly and reliably reject this accusation. It is Ukraine that wants peace. It was Ukraine that never once wanted this war. It is Russia that is doing everything possible to prolong the war and strike as many lives …

Weapons for Ukraine already now. The quality of the embassy's work should be measured by the amount of weapons that Ukraine receives, finances that support Ukraine, political decisions and concrete steps that put pressure on Russia. This is a clear framework. The ambassador of Ukraine should know how many missiles for air defense there are in his country of work and how to make sure that the missiles are not in warehouses somewhere, but in our launchers here in Ukraine. Missiles for patriots, na…

I thank all of you who really helped Ukraine to make this year really effective after the previous such meeting. We have been through a lot together. We passed the winter - a very difficult winter. When Ukraine was not alone, and we received the necessary support. This year, winter is also an obvious priority for everyone. This year, your task is to provide maximum support on the external track, in relations with partners, for the government of Ukraine. Now we cannot 100% predict when diplomatic…

Today, the Air Force is much more than a type of military. This is a component of our defense, which in many ways really determines the course of this war. Ukrainians did not and will not give their sky to the Russians. And one of the most important results of our people during the full-scale war. We did not allow our Air Force to be destroyed and were able to develop it in such a way that Russia regularly loses its planes. And now, when Putin's only bet, the last bet left, is his massive strike…

Every year on the first Sunday of August, we congratulate our soldiers of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Professional Day and thank them for their protection.

Thousands of sorties, thousands of targets shot down, and thanks to this, thousands of lives saved. During the war, our Air Force became much stronger. W…

Of course, we see every leader and every country that responds to Russia's strikes on Ukraine. But the only strong and just response – the one that truly achieves its goal and helps people – is additional support for us here in Ukraine, for our people, for our state. The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is for our partners to make the political decision – the decision to provide the necessary packages. The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need. Anti-ballistic mi…

Of course, we see every leader and every country reacting to Russian strikes on Ukraine. But the only strong reaction - it is fair - a reaction that really achieves the goal and helps people - is additional support for us in Ukraine, for our people, for our state.

The United States of America knows what we need. Europe knows what we nee…
