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.

No one has been able to stop Putin. Only Trump remains, he might be able to. But to stop Putin, one thing is essential: he must lose money. Only then will he be unable to expand his army and military sector.

That’s why sanctions matter: targeting the banking sector, the shadow fleet, and oil prices. Capping the price of Russian energy is critical, because oil is their main source of income. What happens in the Middle East is now driving oil prices up, and that, in turn, affects Europe’s security. That’s why oil price caps are such a powerful tool.

Sanctions are powerful, when enforced. If loopholes are closed, missile components, including for ballistic systems, simply won’t reach Russia. Sanctions aren’t just about money. They’re about stopping the flow of deadly technology, the parts that enable Russia to produce these horrific weapons at scale.
Right now, the tone of the U.S.–Russia dialogue feels too warm. Let’s be honest: that won’t stop Putin. What’s needed is a shift in tone. Putin must understand clearly: America will stand with Ukraine, including by imposing sanctions and supporting our army.

Any signals of reduced aid, or of treating Ukraine and Russia as equals, are deeply unfair. Russia is the aggressor. They started this war. They do not want to end it.

That’s why the world must send a clear message: if Putin refuses to end the war, the strongest possible sanctions will follow.
Russia can’t just be stopped with words. It’s like a high-speed train with no one at the wheel. Putin has radicalized his society through propaganda. They’re pumped full of hatred toward NATO, the U.S., and the West. They say: “We must go all the way.”

Add to that the defense industry. According to unofficial estimates, Russia now pours an estimated $300 billion a year into it. They don’t want this war to end, and they will do everything to keep it going.

Today, in year four of Russia’s full-scale war, our military has recorded over one million Russian casualties — killed and wounded. That’s the price Putin is willing to pay for his sick geopolitical fantasies. And still, he refuses to end this war. Image
12 days ago, Ukraine’s Security Service completed “SpiderWeb” — a low-cost drone operation targeting the very aircraft Russia used to terrorize our country and to send a message of threat to NATO. These were not just similar strategic bombers, but the exact same ones Russia had used to simulate missile strikes on NATO territory.
10 years ago, such a strike would have been unimaginable. Today, we can’t even imagine what kind of strikes a country might be able to carry out 10 years from now. But one principle is clear – no country can afford to stay behind in defense tech.

At the Ukraine – Southeast Europe Summit in Odesa, I emphasized that Moscow doesn’t see Ukraine as a country, just as a pile of resources and a military staging ground for its next invasions. We all in the region are dealing with the same source of destruction.
The security of Southeastern Europe and the Black Sea is indivisible. This has been obvious to Ukraine since 2014 and became clear to the entire continent in 2022. Yet, even today, we are compelled to fight not only for our country, but to ensure that this reality becomes the cornerstone of a new regional policy.
Our region is one of Russia’s main targets for causing chaos. We’ve seen this before, across the Balkans, where Russia fueled ethnic tensions, sabotage, and even coup attempts. We’ve witnessed attempts to manipulate public opinion in Romania, with Moscow’s involvement.

I spoke with media on the day of remembrance for Ukrainian children killed by Russia.

In Istanbul, Russians gave us an ultimatum, not a “memorandum”.

Peace requires a meeting of leaders. I am ready to meet in the coming days with Putin, as well as presidents Trump and Erdogan. Image
Regarding the Istanbul meeting, our groups held consultations regarding POW exchanges today. Russia said it will transfer 500 warriors this weekend out of the 1000+ that was agreed. We will be ready to exchange the relevant number. We still haven’t received lists from Russia.
Bodies of fallen soldiers. Our data show Russia has identified a maximum of 20% of all bodies. We need thorough preparation. We need bodies of Ukrainians, not Russians they want to dump. We already had such examples. Therefore, this exchange will proceed right after POW exchange.

Today, I addressed the participants of the Summit in Vilnius and emphasized that the key to lasting peace is clear – the aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression. Any reward would only show him that war pays off. Image
We talked about our operation inside Russia, which has seriously weakened their military. Operation “Spiderweb” showed what modern war really looks like and why it’s so important to stay ahead with technology.
All our joint investments in drone production, all our shared battlefield experience, everything we’re doing together with our partners – it’s making Europe stronger. We agreed with our partners on several joint decisions that will strengthen our defense even more. I thank everyone for the willingness to help.
