While in Munich, I had a call with @POTUS Joe Biden.

We discussed the current frontline situation. I am grateful to have President Biden's full support. I also believe that the US Congress will make a wise decision.

Supporting Ukraine means supporting democracy and freedom. Together, we must protect these values. We agreed to stay in touch as Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine approaches the two-year mark.
На Мюнхенській конференції з питань безпеки поговорив телефоном із Президентом США Джозефом Байденом.

Обговорили поточну ситуацію на полі бою. Я радий, що можу розраховувати на повну підтримку американського Президента. Віримо й у мудре рішення Конгресу США.

Підтримка України – це підтримка демократії та свободи. Ми повинні разом захистити ці цінності. Домовилися підтримувати контакт у звʼязку з наближенням 2-х роковин початку повномасштабного вторгнення.

Since 1 am, our military tracked the movement of Russian drones toward the Polish border. This was not an accident or a mistake, it was deliberate. Russia used both Ukrainian and Belarusian territory to enter Polish airspace.
Almost two dozen drones entered Poland, and it seems that less than half of the total number came from Ukraine. This was a calculated Russian activity. And we all saw the result, how difficult it was to counter.
Ukraine offered Poland the necessary assistance in responding. No one can guarantee that there won’t be hundreds of drones if there are already dozens. Only united European forces can give real protection.

Addressing the Ambrosetti Forum I stressed: Europe needs a new network of modern defense production – countries supporting each other, producing protection not just for themselves but for all of Europe. This will make Europe stronger and more resilient.
Even as Russia tries to prolong the war, we are already building a security system that will push it toward peace. On land, in the air, at sea – our strength that will pressure Russia to stop the war.
We need more systems to shoot down missiles and drones, and modern fighter jets. Russia’s main tool of war is killing civilians. Limiting their ability to attack means moving closer to peace.

A strong Ukrainian army is and will remain the central element of security guarantees. Its capabilities – funding, weapons, production – that we ensure now, and should be in a year, in five years, in ten years from now. Both in wartime and to guarantee security in peace. Image
Today was the largest meeting of the Coalition of the Willing so far in terms of the number of countries. I thank all the leaders who joined us today in Paris and online, as well as the representatives of states, for their engagement, ideas, and their readiness to support us on the path to peace with concrete steps.
The key theme: ending the war as soon as possible through strong steps, strong decisions and to guarantee security for Ukraine. In fact, every meeting is built around two elements: our security already now, that is, support for defense and diplomacy, and long-term security guarantees.

At Ukraine-Nordic-Baltic States Summit, I noted that Russian economy is in bad shape: fuel and labor shortages, many industries in decline. Putin constantly humiliates before China as he tries to sell them as much raw material as possible. This is telling – sanctions are working. Image
Last night, Russia launched another massive strike – nearly 500 drones and over 20 missiles, including ballistic. These strikes are now regular, several times a week. A clear signal that Russia rejects any attempt to end the war and wants to keep fighting. We must assume this is Russia’s main scenario now.
We began a concrete discussion with partners on two key issues: our defense now, while Russia’s war continues, and our defense in the future – the security guarantees we need, since Russia stays on its course.

Two weeks ago in Washington, it was stated that by this time the Russians should be ready for real negotiations—a meeting at the leaders’ level. Ukraine is definitely ready for this. But the only thing Russia is doing is investing further in war. All their signals point to that.
Now, during his visit to China, Putin will once again try to wriggle out. That is his number one sport. Everyone in the world has declared that the fire must cease. Everyone has insisted that the war must end. That has also been China’s position.
I have discussed this with the Prime Minister of India. Also with other leaders who are now at the summit – Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan. Almost everyone else in the world is also for ending the war. Today there was an important statement from the Pope.

In Washington we heard that Putin is supposedly ready to end the war – to meet at the leaders’ level and resolve key issues. But instead he chooses ballistics over any real steps toward peace. He kills children in order not to talk about when and how peace will come.
All day in Kyiv, rescue operations continued after one of the largest Russian strikes – nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles, including ballistic. At least 19 people were killed, among them 4 children. My deepest condolences to their families and loved ones.
This strike clearly shows that Russia’s goals have not changed. They want war, striking not only our people and cities but everyone in the world who seeks peace. It is a strike against Ukraine, against Europe, also against President Trump, and against other global actors.
