Everything Will Be Done to Strengthen Our Positions and Our Ability to Inflict Tangible Losses on the Occupier – Address by the President
It is important that our warriors receive exactly what they need under these conditions of very intense battles and pressure from the Russian army. Everything must be done and will be done to strengthen our positions, our Ukrainian ability to inflict tangible losses on the occupier. I want to especially acknowledge our warriors who strike at Russian bases and logistics in the occupied territory. The invader must feel that this is Ukrainian land. And each destroyed Russian airbase, each destroyed Russian military aircraft – whether on the ground or in the air – means saving Ukrainian lives. Guys, our warriors, I thank you for your precision!

Foreign Funds Have Started to Work Noticeably and Effectively in Defense Production, and This Is a Great Achievement for Us – President's Address
I had a very detailed and long conversation with Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin. We analyzed the work of the ministry and the relevant enterprises in our defense sector—what has been achieved and what is planned. There are good results. Many different aspects were discussed, including our armored vehicles, drones, and artillery. I am grateful to everyone working at our defense enterprises, in our defense industry. It is evident that the sector is becoming entirely different—stronger and more efficient. It is crucial that foreign funds have finally started to work noticeably and effectively in defense production, which is a significant achievement for us. Not only the state budget funds but also partner investments in defense production in Ukraine.

Over Time, Ukraine Should Achieve Maximum Defense Independence – Address by the President
Our task is to ensure by all means and with all our strength the constant effective destruction of Russian troops, their logistics and their important positions not only directly on the frontline, but also in all available depths. Available to our long-range capability. We are working with our partners to increase this level of defense. But while we are waiting for our partners' decisions, we are looking for our own solutions, our own options. In this case, the key is our drones, our flexibility in the use of drones. Ukrainian warriors have already proven to be real innovators in many areas of drone use. And it is worth continuing, and we will continue this.

Our Team Is Preparing Four New Security Agreements for Ukraine – Address by the President
Very soon, we will begin negotiations and quite promptly prepare the documents for signing. These agreements will cover defense support, finances, and humanitarian cooperation. With these, we will have almost thirty such agreements with our partners. We aimed to include various countries, not just NATO members. However, all of them are equally ready to help us defend our shared values. And this will happen. No matter what happens in the world, we need our own tools to support our people and state, our own security agreements that will work under any conditions. This is exactly what we are doing.

Of course, there is still much work ahead, and this is far from guaranteed protection, but nevertheless, it means more strength for Ukraine. I would like to thank everyone who helps us! Glory to our people!

We Need This Step – a Step That Will Force Russia to Seek Peace – Speech by the President of Ukraine at the Meeting of the UK Government
Britain has taken good steps and every new move you made strengthened our men and women on the frontlines, our successes – in the Black Sea first of all, our greater political opportunities, and our resilience as a nation, an army, and an entire society. Sure, Russia fears such support. In Moscow, they know that you in London have the decision-making power that can steer this war towards its end. And it will be the right conclusion – just and fair. We have to remember that in many aspects, Russia is weaker. Their intelligence is weaker. Their diplomacy has turned into mere bribes, lies, or threats. Economically, they are not strong.

Today is already the tenth anniversary of the day when the Russian occupiers destroyed a passenger plane in the Ukrainian skies – flight MH-17.

Some Much-Needed Negotiations Are Scheduled for This Week, Including Those on Weapons – Address by the President
Today I held a meeting of the Staff; They reported on all the main directions on the frontline – from the hottest, such as the Pokrovsk direction, to those that are currently calmer but still require attention and proper supply. We are working very thoroughly on all of this, both in terms of weapons deliveries, which means fulfilling our existing agreements with partners, and ensuring fast logistics for each announced package, and also of weapons production in Ukraine – this is an absolute priority, and every month it should be felt that Ukraine is becoming more independent in terms of weapons supply.
