President of Ukraine

All news

The European home was never complete without Ukraine. It won’t be. There will never be a full-fledged European power without Ukraine. The very fact that Ukraine remained a fragment of Europe, somewhere outside your countries, contributed to the fact that Russia has developed an aggressive appetite to seize its neighbors. Therefore - at the strategic level - the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union for Ukraine should be approved already in June.

The President noted the importance of the visit of the Minister to Ukraine, which is another manifestation of the support for our country by the French Republic.

The unity I saw with my own eyes today in Kharkiv. The heroism our soldiers in Donbas show every day. The determination of Kryvyi Rih. This is our path. The path to ensure that the peace of life is always felt throughout Ukraine and that smiles always reign, not the roar of artillery.

The Head of State heard reports from Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleg Synegubov, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, the military command and the leadership of law enforcement agencies in the region.

The Head of State got himself acquainted with the operational situation in the area of responsibility of the relevant units.

Again and again I will remind the world that Russia must finally be officially recognized as a terrorist state, a state - sponsor of terrorism. This is simply true. This is fair and reflects the daily reality that the occupiers have created in Ukraine and are eager to bring further to Europe. And this must be legally enshrined.

Donbas will be Ukrainian. Because this is us, this is our essence. And even if Russia brings destruction and suffering everywhere there, we will still rebuild every city and every community. And there is and will be no alternative to our Ukrainian flags there.

Ukrainian society will not accept the strengthening of the powers of government institutions, but the state needs to build a strict security system. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an online conversation with the Stanford University community.

The effectiveness of sanctions against the Russian Federation, which are already in force and under discussion, requires a single strong position of the whole world, which would make it impossible to circumvent these restrictions. This was emphasized by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an online conversation with the Stanford University community.
