I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
Briefly about today.
First – our gratitude goes to our air defense warriors, everyone in different branches and types of forces protecting the sky. Every night, every day, they shoot down Russian “Shahed” drones and missiles. This morning, they intercepted Russian ballistics. This is significant. Every such success means saving the lives of our people. Ukraine is grateful to all our partners who help us with anti-missiles and air defense systems. We are now working to further increase supplies from our partners – both missiles and defense systems, as well as everything we need to strengthen our mobile fire groups. The strategic goal is to reach a practical level of cooperation with our partners that will enable us to produce the air defense systems and anti-missiles we need here in Ukraine.
I spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz today. Germany is a leader in helping us, specifically with air defense systems. And we have now discussed the delivery of another Iris-T system and future work on the development of our air shield. We have also discussed the Ramstein format: a cooperation that has greatly benefited Ukraine and all our partners – it is our collective strength. We have also discussed preparations for the G20 meeting in Brazil, which will be held as early as next week. We are negotiating with our partners to ensure that Ukraine's position is represented in all relevant discussions. Only together can the world guarantee a truly lasting peace and lasting stability in international relations.
