We need decisions to bring about peace. Ukraine has been ready for this for a long time, and we are doing everything we can to ensure this war ends with dignity.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with the Ukrainian negotiating team – Rustem Umerov, Kyrylo Budanov, and Sergiy Kyslytsya – held a phone call with U.S. President's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

They discussed the outcomes of the NATO Summit in Ankara, particularly the important decisions to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and their implementation. First and foremost, this concerns agreements on licenses to produce missiles for the Patriot systems.

Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi, I determined the tasks that must be carried out in the near future and over the medium term. The operations of Ukraine's Defense Forces are ongoing and must continue without disruption. Ukraine's long-range sanctions plan and our mid-strike program will be carried out with absolute precision.

For the first time, there was direct, first-hand dialogue between leading weapons and military equipment manufacturers, the corps commanders who actually use their products, representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance, and the country's key special services.

First Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Sergiy Kyslytsya met with a delegation of permanent representatives of the OSCE participating States. The delegation included OSCE ambassadors from more than 20 countries, as well as representatives of the Organization's Secretariat and all of its autonomous institutions.

"Ukraine and the United Kingdom have built the strongest partnership in the history of relations between our two countries, and we will certainly continue working to expand it even further," the President said.

First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska presented the keys to a newly built home to the Palamarenko family from the village of Hoholiv in the Kyiv region. The house was built as part of the Room for Childhood initiative by the First Lady’s Foundation.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the Holy See's Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher.

Kyiv and the region were the Russians’ primary target. They had been preparing this attack for several days, stockpiling missiles. The threat, of course, remains even now, and this must be taken into account.
