ukraine resilience

Today, we are already seeing the results of our conversation yesterday with President of the European Commission Ursula @vonderleyen – a €3.3 billion tranche from the EU financial support package has now been received. First and foremost, the funds will be used to buttress our defense, specifically through missiles and drones. We are also making substantive preparations for our meeting and discussion in New York on Ukraine’s financial resilience, which we also agreed on yesterday. Thank you, Urs…

I spoke with the President of the European Commission, @vonderleyen. A very productive conversation. I thanked Ursula for the attention to Ukraine and security issues in her annual State of the Union Address. The initiative to use the remaining SAFE funds to finance new defense projects by Ukraine and the European Union is very timely and truly necessary. It is important to implement it. Of course, we are also ready to cooperate on other security proposals that can strengthen all of Europe and e…

It is important that there was voting to pass laws that are part of Ukraine’s commitments to our partners. This is funding for Ukraine, for our country’s state budget. The deficit is significant, and every decision that helps fill that gap truly strengthens us, strengthens Ukraine’s resilience and our defense. Today, I held a meeting on further legislative steps. Some decisions need to be made. There will be a decision to bring back asset declarations for law enforcement and security forces pers…

I wish you good health! A few important things today. First, we’re preparing meetings in the U.S. with our partners. This concerns negotiations – bringing peace closer – and some other important issues, including energy, food security, and weapons. There will be new support packages for Ukraine, air defense in particular. Second, we’re preparing to expand the Anti-Ballistic Coalition. The task remains unchanged: to have a result ready this year that can be tested. We need a system that is effect…

I wish you health. A few important things today. First, we are preparing meetings with our partners in the United States of America. This also applies to negotiations, the approach of peace, and some other very, very important issues. In particular, about energy, food security, and weapons. There will be new support packages for Ukraine, including the PPU. Second. We are preparing the expansion of the anti-ballistic coalition. The unchanged task for this year is to prepare a result that …

I am grateful to all the Members of Parliament who voted positively in the Verkhovna Rada today. Also, a number of bills are scheduled for this week that, to be honest, mean money for Ukraine from our partners. Seven bills are on the agenda. Most of them are in their first reading, but each one is needed to close the state budget gap. These are matters of national importance. They concern everyone – absolutely everyone – in Ukraine, not someone individually, not any particular party, group, or p…

In a rapidly changing world, and at a time of geopolitical unrest, value-driven, realistic foreign policy is vital. This is why the government is providing additional funding next year for development cooperation and non-military support for Ukraine. It is also making funding available for the global mission network and the 2029 EU Presidency. These points are set out in the 2027 budgets for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation which were presented to parliament today. …

Today I held a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance of Ukraine. To close the budget gap and continue the necessary payments, parliamentarians and the Government must work in the most coordinated way possible. The list of laws and government decisions that need to be adopted is absolutely specific. This is not about preferences or politics. Every decision means funding so that Ukraine can live and defend itself. I ask parliamentarians, already this week, to deliver this fi…

Fellow Ukrainians! A few key points from today. Together with the military – I spoke with Defense Minister Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Drapatyi – we are accelerating all work to the maximum to protect against jet-powered “shaheds.” Manufacturers are preparing solutions – there are already developments and testing is underway, but we need production volumes as soon as possible, and they must be sufficient and, of course, proven. Every day, we need to track what is…

Dear Ukrainians, a few main things for this day. There was a conversation with the military, with the Minister of Defense Khbra and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Drapaty. We are accelerating all work to protect against reactive shaheeds as much as possible. Manufacturers are preparing solutions, there are developments, there are tests, but the required production volumes are as soon as possible, sufficient, and definitely verified. Every day you need to record what is …
