During my visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where components for artillery and mortar shells are produced, including 155 mm shells for Ukraine, I emphasized the dedication of the workers, which is truly inspiring—they are helping Ukraine stand strong in our fight for freedom.

I am grateful to the people of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and all the states where Americans are building this incredible arsenal of global freedom. Together, we are strengthening the defense of liberty and democracy.

Під час візиту на Скрентонський армійський завод боєприпасів, де виробляють компоненти для артилерійських і мінометних снарядів, зокрема снарядів калібру 155 мм для України, відзначив відданість працівників, яка справді надихає: вони допомагають Україні вистояти в нашій боротьбі за свободу.

Вдячний жителям Скрентона, Пенсильванії та всіх штатів, де американці розбудовують цей неймовірний арсенал глобальної свободи. Разом ми посилюємо захист свободи та демократії.

🇺🇦🇺🇸

Russia is openly trying to destroy our civilian infrastructure right now, ahead of winter – our gas infrastructure, our power generation and transmission. Zero real reaction from the world. We will fight so that the world does not remain silent and so that Russia feels the response.
Every Russian missile and every Russian attack drone also contains parts that are still being supplied to Russia from Western countries and various countries close to Russia. Now, in the fourth year of the full-scale war, it is simply strange to hear anyone claim they don’t know how to stop the flow of critical components.
A single Russian Kinzhal missile contains 96 foreign-made components, many of them truly critical ones that Russia does not produce itself. The nearly 500 drones the Russians used overnight contain over 100,000 foreign-made parts.

I addressed the Warsaw Security Forum: Ukraine proposes to Poland and all partners to build a joint, reliable shield against Russian aerial threats. Ukraine can counter all types of drones and missiles. Together, we will have enough weapons and production capacity for this.
Today, we remember the words of Jerzy Giedroyc: without a free Ukraine, there can be no free Poland. Russians never stop at just one country. History has shown this many times.
Now it is Ukrainians who have stopped Russia, and this matters. This makes it possible to hold Russia back elsewhere – where they want to break through.

Today, no one but ourselves can guarantee security. Only strong alliances. Only strong partners, only our own weapons. The 21st century isn’t much different from the past. If a nation wants peace, it still has to work on weapons. It’s sick but real. Weapons decide who survives.
International law doesn’t work fully unless you have powerful friends willing to stand up for it. And even that doesn’t work without weapons. There are no security guarantees except friends and weapons. That’s why we invest in defense.
What can Sudan, Somalia, Palestine – any people living through war – really expect from the UN or the global system? For decades, just statements. Even everything happening in Gaza remains without a way out. Even now, Syria still has to appeal to the world to ease the sanctions choking its economy.

I addressed the UN Security Council. We must admit – the world’s attention to the UN is fading. The Organization has less influence, and too often there is a lack of real decisions on fundamental issues. The tools are not working now. But they will, if you are active.
I thank the Republic of Korea for this Security Council meeting and the chance to call for peace. Today there must be a clear call for peace. But here is one of the main distortions of our time: whom must we call to peace, and on whom must we press to achieve it?
One permanent member of this Council is doing everything to prolong the largest war in Europe since WWII. Russia does this with impunity using its veto power, buying influence, and keeping peace on hold.

At the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children Summit at the leaders’ level I said: this year we’ll introduce a resolution condemning child abduction and deportation. Forcibly taking children to re-educate for another nation is a crime. The UN must say this clearly.Image
I hope this format will bring progress in solving a very sensitive issue – the fate of Ukrainian children. Thousands are victims of Russia’s double crime: abducted and deported, and now tries to steal their culture, character, their bond with family, and their identity.
Maybe not everyone is a parent. But everyone knows how quickly children grow, how precious every moment is, how fragile their first steps in life can be. The greatest gift is a normal childhood. The lowest crime – replacing it with war and its cruelty. We need real results – the actual return of all abducted children.

Our counteroffensive operation in the Donetsk Region—Pokrovsk and Dobropillia sectors—continues. It was one of the most important axes for the Russians, but they failed to mount a full-scale offensive here. Our army is destroying their forces—inflicting heavy losses, taking POWs.
There will be new deep strikes in retaliation to Russia's actions. I held a Staff meeting today. Main topic—production of our weapons. We have clear understanding of volumes—what our army needs till the end of the year, for the next year, and what we need to have in stock.
Starting this year, we will cover the deficit in financing weapons production in particular through controlled exports of certain types of our weapons. Via such controlled exports, we will increase the production of drones for the front line.
