Today has been full of tasks, including for our diplomatic team. Ukrainian representatives report to me almost every hour – they are currently in the UAE, where a conversation took place today involving the Ukrainian, American, and Russian delegations.

Ukraine is ready to help Europe become a true power, guarantee peace, and prevent destruction. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during a special session of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The Head of State informed him about his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Davos, as well as about diplomatic plans for further negotiations and ongoing work on documents.

We should not degrade ourselves to secondary roles – not when we have a chance to be a great power together. We should not accept that Europe is just a "salad" of small and middle powers, seasoned with enemies of Europe. When united, we are truly invincible. And Europe can and must be a global force. Not one that reacts late, but one that defines the future.

In Davos, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy took part in a panel session of the International Advisory Council for Ukraine's Recovery. Representatives of international business, financial institutions, and energy companies attended the event.

In Davos, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a productive and substantive meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.

We must focus on the situation inside the country. Every official, local authorities, all heads of state-owned companies and energy companies – everyone must be right here, in Ukraine, working in cities, in villages, in the areas where restoration and protection are needed.

Mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, and other means of short-range air defense – this system will be transformed. I approved the appointment of a new Deputy Commander of the Air Force – Pavlo Yelizarov. In the army, he is known for Lazar, a special unit that operates – and operates effectively.
