This week, air raid alerts have sounded almost daily across Ukraine. Just last night, our air defense forces managed to shot down nearly 50 strike drones. Over the past week, Russia has launched more than 800 guided aerial bombs, around 460 strike drones, and over 20 missiles of various types against Ukraine and our people.

Ukraine is not a testing ground for weapons. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state. Yet, Russia persists in its attempts to destroy our people, sow fear and panic, and weaken us.

Ukraine needs more air defense systems, and we are actively working with our partners on this. Strengthening the protection of our skies is absolutely critical.

I thank everyone around the world who understands this and continues to stand with Ukraine.

Addressing the Dutch Parliament, I said: Russia is stronger than any of us alone, but weaker than all of us together. Putin thinks in terms of potential—his own, and of those he sees as targets. If Europe’s combined strength leaves him no room for aggression, there will be none. Image
Every day in Ukraine begins the same way with updates on the consequences of Russian strikes. These attacks cannot be explained by anything rational or humane.
Last night, nine Russian-Iranian “shahed” drones hit an ordinary village in Sumy region. 7 houses were completely destroyed, 22 badly damaged. 3 children were pulled from under the rubble. 6 people were injured. 3 were killed, including a child. That attack had no military sense.

At the Defense Industries Forum in The Hague I stressed: there are no signs Putin wants to stop this war. Russia rejects all peace proposals, including from the U.S. Maybe Putin connects his own political survival with his ability to keep killing: so long as he kills, he lives.
We all understand that the source of this war and the long-term threat to European way of life is Russia. But we’re not facing Russia alone. It’s a network of state and non-state actors that are serving the cause of aggression.
This network includes Russia, North Korea, the current Iran’s regime, Chinese companies, and global schemes that help produce weapons and carry out operations against Ukraine, our people and our Europe.

Today, I received reports on the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region, following U.S. strikes on facilities linked to the Iranian regime’s nuclear program. A regime that has done so much to bail out Putin.
Right now, new waves of "shahed" drones are in the skies over Ukraine. We all clearly remember where Russia got such weapons. Iran’s decisions to support Russia have brought massive destruction and devastating human losses to our country, and to many others. This truly must stop.
And it must absolutely not be reinforced with nuclear weapons. There must be no proliferation of nuclear weapons in the modern world. And this must be emphasized. It is important that there is American resolve on this, the resolve of President Trump.

Yesterday, everyone heard the signals from Russia’s leader. Putin put on a performance, particularly for the United States too. He wants all of Ukraine, and had wanted it not just for four years, not since 2014, but long before that.
When Putin speaks about Ukraine, and something else about Russian soldiers’ boots on the ground, he’s also speaking about Belarus, the Baltic states, Moldova, the Caucasus, countries like Kazakhstan, and every place on Earth that Russian killers can reach.
Russian forces burn cities and villages to the ground, leaving only ruins. Anyone can see what Putin has deliberately done to Donbas. It has been essentially destroyed. In Moscow, they once claimed they’d bring protection to Donbas. What they actually brought was death, and this is the only thing they know how to deliver.

Speaking to journalists, I said: during the repatriation of bodies, 20 of those returned to us as Ukrainian fallen soldiers turned out to be Russians, one was a foreign mercenary. This lie is documented, some of the bodies even had Russian passports. Image

We want to bring home all our defenders, living and fallen. But we won’t take Russians just to even out numbers. When we tell them they’ve handed us Russian citizens, they deny it. This isn’t a one-off. We believe they do it deliberately, to make it look like they have more of our dead.
Body exchanges took place earlier too, quietly, right on the battlefield. Now Russia is making them public to mask the true scale of their own losses. They fear the public acknowledging how many Russians have died.

Addressing the G7 Summit, I emphasized that Russia is ignoring every diplomatic offer made by the international community. Diplomacy is in crisis. There is one clear reason – Putin has openly rejected every peace initiative. Image
Last night, Russia carried out one of the largest combined attacks on Ukraine since the beginning of this war. The targets were our cities – meaning ordinary people, ordinary families in their homes.
There were 440 drones, most of them Shaheds, and 32 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones and those with cluster warheads. One ballistic missile hit a residential building – it went through from the top floor down to the basement. Rescue operations are still ongoing. People are being searched for under the rubble.
