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.

First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, together with the team implementing the school nutrition reform, visited three educational institutions in the Cherkasy region where kitchen facilities and canteens were modernized as part of the reform. The visit took place with the participation of Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Viktor Mykyta and Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Andrii Stashkiv.

The leaders exchanged views on the current situation and the next diplomatic steps. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is ready to engage in the format of leaders, as this is the only effective format. Unfortunately, it is Russia that avoids this and continues its war.

The President of the European Commission spoke about the preparation of the European Union’s 19th package of sanctions and coordination with other partners.

Pressure must be applied. Russia must be forced into real steps. Russia must end the war it started and continues. There has to be an answer from them.

The First Lady of Ukraine, together with the team of the Olena Zelenska Foundation and the Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Portugal in Ukraine, Pedro Forbes Lemos, visited the first School of Superheroes in Cherkasy.
