Today there are new and powerful results from our diplomatic marathon. #France is taking #European defense support to #Ukraine to a new level, and I thank President Macron for this leadership.
We will get more armored vehicles, and in particular – French-made wheeled tanks. 1/3
This is what gives a clear signal to all our other partners: there is no rational reason why Western-style tanks have not yet been supplied to Ukraine. And this is very important in order to restore security for all Ukrainians and peace for all Europeans. 2/3
Such a signal is extremely relevant before the new "Ramstein".
It’s necessary to put an end to Russian aggression this year and not delay any of those defense opportunities that can speed up the defeat of the terrorist state.
Modern Western armored vehicles, Western-style tanks
are just one of these key opportunities.
Thank you to everyone who fights for Ukraine! Thanks to everyone who helps us!
Glory to Ukraine! — Zelensky

Just spoke with the Prime Minister of Canada - and this is the fourth international conversation today. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Prime Minister of Norway - and here is Justin Trudeau.— Zelensky 1/3
We started this year immediately with what Ukraine needs most right now - on the eve of those new mobilization processes being prepared by the terrorist state. Right now is the moment when, together with our partners, we should strengthen our defense. 2/3
We have no doubt that the present masters of Russia will throw everything they have left, and all they can muster, into trying to turn the tide of the war, and at least delay their defeat.
We have to disrupt this Russian scenario. We are preparing for it. The terrorists must lose
⚰️“This didn’t even happen in Chechnya… f**c. I already have three 300s! Pizd*ts! Damn, I'm holding on to the last of my strength, like everyone else, but damn it! This is f*cked up"🫠
The mobilized #Russian sobs and tells his father on the phone about the unbearable conditions.
Ukraine will be able to reach the borders on February 23 if it has 300 tanks, about 700 infantry fighting vehicles and half a thousand howitzers. Nevertheless, the AFU are already planning to conduct a new major operation (!), - Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny.
He added that “with 🧵
the resources that Ukraine has now, we cannot conduct new major operations,” although the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently working on one of them. According to him, this operation is "already on the way." 🧵⬇️
Zaluzhnyi:
“The #Russians are preparing some 200 000 fresh troops. I have no doubt they will have another go at #Kyiv.”. “We estimate that they have a reserve of 1.2m-1.5m people.”
