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.

Today, at the Ramstein Contact Group. In nearly three years of full-scale war, we’ve proven that when we stand united, no one is too small to impact history. We’ve come so far that it would be crazy to drop the ball now and stop building on the defense coalitions we’ve created. Image
It’s clear that a new chapter starts for Europe and the entire world – just 11 days from now, a time when we have to cooperate even more, rely on one another even more, and achieve even greater results together. I see this as a time of opportunities.
No matter what’s going on in the world, everyone wants to feel sure that their country won’t just be erased off the map. That used to depend on a handful of big capitals, but now it’s on all of us. It depends on how we work together, how ready we are to own our future, and how well we can convince our partners to stand with us.

I congratulated Ukraine’s diplomats on their professional day, reminding that being an ambassador or diplomat of Ukraine means being able to give a clear answer to what exactly they have done to bring peace closer and protect the interests of Ukraine and Ukrainians. Image
We are now in the third year of a full-scale war – preserving Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and our nation’s ability to achieve and continue achieving the necessary results.
Over the past year, Ukraine has grown stronger and moved closer to the goal that unites our entire nation – we must defeat the occupier, overcome this evil. We need a just peace, and every diplomat must work toward this goal.

At the meeting of the European Council, I stressed that Europe and America must be at the table when the time comes. The EU, like Ukraine, must enter talks from a position of strength. Only coordinated efforts can bring lasting peace—not a pause Putin would exploit to buy time. Image
Now is a good time to reflect on the year and what we have achieved together. Europe’s military support for Ukraine has strengthened our ability to defend against Russia, saving countless lives.
Sanctions against Russia are growing. This year, progress was made in targeting its shadow tanker fleet. We must stop Putin from using it to fund the war, and we must remove these old ships from European and international waters to prevent oil spills.

Today I addressed the Joint Expeditionary Force Summit: we need to establish peace in a way that Putin can no longer break, a peace that’s not just a pause, but a real, lasting peace. I am confident we can achieve this. The key is not to be afraid of our own joint strength. Image
I want to highlight the EU’s decision on new sanctions against Russia and the determination – especially of the Baltic and North Sea countries – to limit Russia’s shadow tanker fleet not just with sanctions, but in other ways too. This fleet is one of the biggest threats.
Putin uses these tankers to finance his war. Most of these vessels are old, poorly maintained, and operate without oversight. Recently, near the Kerch Strait, two oil tankers sank. These ships were nearly 50 years old and should not have been in operation at all.

Talking to media, I reiterated: Ukraine wants this war to end more than anyone else. No doubt, a diplomatic resolution would save lives. We do seek it. However, I stressed to President @EmmanuelMacron and President @realDonaldTrump that Putin doesn’t want this war to end. He must be forced to do so.
Forcing Putin to end the war requires Ukraine to be strong on the battlefield before it can be strong diplomatically. Strong army, military aid, long-range systems such as ATACMS, Taurus, Storm Shadow/SCALPs. They are absolutely vital. We only use them against military targets.
Regarding security guarantees. While we cannot be in NATO right now, an invitation to join NATO is possible. And there are specific security guarantees that we need already now. This was also part of our discussions with German CDU/CSU leader @_FriedrichMerz today.

During my conversation with journalists from African and Latin American countries, I emphasized that Ukraine is committed to strengthening its presence in Africa. From broader diplomatic efforts to deeper economic and security partnerships, our goal is a future of shared success and resilience against global threats.Image
We have pledged to expand our diplomatic ties, with 10 new embassies planned across the continent. Seven are already operational, and three more will open soon. This marks a significant step in Ukraine-Africa relations.
Beyond diplomacy, we are focused on deeper economic cooperation. Our vision includes establishing new grain hubs and food storage facilities, ensuring food security despite Russia’s aggression. Ukraine will remain a reliable partner for Africa’s future.
