During the meeting, they discussed strengthening Ukraine’s air defense, funding domestic arms production, including increased investment in drone manufacturing, and continued support.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented certificates granting apartments to Heroes of Ukraine and to the families of warriors who were posthumously awarded this title.

Today’s Russian attack on Ukraine is Vladimir Putin’s response to the world’s calls to stop the war, which is why it is crucial to increase pressure on Russia. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during a coordination online meeting attended by President of Poland Karol Nawrocki, President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda, President of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs, President of Estonia Alar Karis, and Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.

Continuing the discussions initiated during the President of Ukraine’s meeting with the Chief of the Defense Staff of the United Kingdom, the parties focused on the development of security guarantees, including defense planning.

America is ready to stand with Europe – they underlined it – in providing security guarantees, so Europe must not miss this opportunity – it should define real foundations for joint action.

A clear response of the world to this evil is needed. There are no deadlines that Putin would not break. There are no diplomatic opportunities that would not be ruined because of Russia. Strong steps are needed. I thank everyone who understands this. Sanctions are needed. Tariffs are needed against those who sponsor this war in one way or another.

The President and the Secretary-General discussed the steps needed to stop the killing of people. The Head of State stressed that Ukraine is ready for a meeting at the level of leaders, as only in such a format can all the most critical issues be addressed. However, Russia continues to present new conditions and to pursue its aggression instead.
