President of Ukraine

Speeches

Ukraine is one of the world's largest contributors to food security. And we maintain this status despite everything. Despite this colonial challenge from the Russian Federation. This war is a war against the lives of Ukrainians, against our people, our families.

When someone starts using other countries not just for terror but also to test their new missiles through terror, this is undoubtedly an international crime.

Obviously, Putin is using Ukraine as a testing ground. Obviously, Putin is terrified when normal life simply exists next to him. When people simply have dignity. When a country simply wants to be and has the right to be independent.

The information frenzy that took place today, with some panic messages passed around – all this benefits only Russia. Please take care of yourselves, support our army, and be especially careful that no one manipulates your emotions for their own advantage. Meanwhile, we continue to strengthen our air defense.

European values and the European way of life – when transformed into action – protect the lives of real people.

1,000 days of this war. 1,000 days since Ukrainians kicked Putin in the teeth. We must end this war – and end it justly. But we must do it in a way that ensures Putin, no matter how toothless, never returns to Ukraine.

I am grateful to all sergeants who truly set an example for soldiers.
