This year’s Summit theme is “World 2026: Finding Stability in Times of Uncertainty.” The event became a platform for countries from around the world to share their own experiences of resilience.

The Head of State outlined in detail the challenges that require urgent action – financing the army and addressing the budget deficit. The President emphasized that it is important that Luxembourg is ready to help find solutions both bilaterally and multilaterally within the European Union.

So let us make this meeting truly productive – with real contributions to our security and decisions that make us stronger. We need it.

“I would like to thank those leaders and those nations who, without hesitation, supported our country and our people, our independence, and who came to Ukraine today to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence with us,” the Head of State said.

In Kyiv, on the occasion of Ukraine’s Independence Day, the first-ever parade of aerial, ground, and naval drones in the country took place, featuring nearly 100 pieces of Ukrainian weaponry. And this is only part of what our country can already be proud of.

hirty-five years since the Act of Declaration of Independence of our state, independence of Ukraine was adopted. Before that, many did not believe that Ukraine would become independent. At the time, the world’s most capable intelligence services did not give their presidents, their leaders, a confident assessment that Ukraine would truly become independent. But Ukrainians restored the independence of their country.

On the occasion of Independence Day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska took part in a prayer for Ukraine held at St. Sophia Cathedral.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Olena Zelenska walked along the memorial alley dedicated to fallen warriors and observed a minute of silence in honor of Ukraine’s fallen defenders.

Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day. The 35th anniversary. A national holiday with a flavor profoundly changed by the war. 1,643 days of full-scale war.

These are the Agreement on Defence and Security Cooperation under the Drone Deal format and the Joint Declaration on a Strategic Partnership (the Ellisiv Accord). The document is named after the daughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, who married King Harald Hardrada and became Queen of Norway.
