Decisions needed to secure $30 billion for Ukraine must be voted through. As for the other part of the budget deficit – the additional $27 billion needed for the Ministry of Defense – we are talking with our partners at all levels. But to bring in additional funding, we... show more

WATCH: Joe Biden claims he can't secure our border until he is given billions of additional dollars "to deal with the technology needed". So we can send Ukraine $150 BILLION to secure their border, but we can’t spend $5 BILLION to secure our own border?

Today, I held a meeting with government officials—including the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the Ombudsman of the Verkhovna Rada—regarding support for our military actions in the Kursk region. It is crucial that Ukraine fights according to the rules, and that humanitarian needs in that area must be met. Today’s report from the head of the Security Service of Ukraine was positive. I want to thank all our SBU warriors, as well as the warriors of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), and all the structures involved. I thank for the precise, timely, and effective strikes on Russian airfields. Our Ukrainian drones are working exactly as needed. However, there are things that drones alone cannot achieve, unfortunately. We need other weapons—missile systems. We continue to work with our partners to secure long-range solutions for Ukraine because these are forward-looking decisions essential for our victory. This must be done. The bolder our partners' decisions, the less Putin can do.

Mark Rutte: all allies must invest more to achieve the target of $60 billion of security and defense support to Ukraine this year. Ukraine is not only a recipient, but a security contributor. Look at what Ukraine is now doing in the Gulf, for example.

We are now in a new phase of development for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have done a lot to transition the Ukrainian Air Force to a new aviation standard – Western combat aviation. From the beginning of this war, we have been talking with our partners about the need to close the Ukrainian sky from Russian missiles and aircraft. We have held hundreds of meetings and negotiations to strengthen the capabilities of our aviation, air defense, and Defense Forces. We often heard the word "impossible" in response, but we made possible what was our ambition, our defense need, and now – it is a reality in our sky. F-16s in Ukraine. We ensured this. I am proud of all our guys who are skillfully mastering these aircraft and have already started using them for our country. I thank our team for this result. I thank all the partners who are truly helping with the F-16s, and the first countries that accepted our request for aircraft – Denmark, the Netherlands, the United States, – and all our partners, – we value your support. I wish our Air Force and all our warriors to feel the pride of Ukrainians in our combat aviation and to bring Ukraine the combat results that will bring our victory closer – our just peace for Ukraine.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY Do you want the UK to be at war with Russia? That's where we are heading. Yesterday, Sir Keir Starmer escalated NATO's proxy war in #Ukraine, and MPs voted to send £billions in additional support to Ukraine.

⚡️ Zelensky: Ukraine will have additional air defense systems. "We don’t yet have all 19 systems, but partners have guaranteed a significant number." He also confirmed the next Ramstein meeting is set for February: "The location isn’t critical—what matters are the key decisions made to support Ukraine."

When Ukraine addresses partners, requesting air defense systems that they have in warehouses and bases but that are needed here, in Ukraine, to protect lives, we are talking about genuine allied action. We in Ukraine value the efforts of all leaders and states who are truly active, keep their promises, and work hard to improve the capabilities of our air shield. Russian terrorists have already had enough time—years—to destroy Ukrainian life. This year cannot be a year of further discussions. Everything is very specific. Ukraine needs air defense, and partners can help us with that. We need artillery, and the world has it. Only a sufficient number of air defense systems and fighter jets can drive the Russian aviation away. Decisions must be made. And they are possible. Everyone around the world who truly desires peace must not be afraid to demonstrate force in order to defend life.

Ukraine found interceptor missiles held by partners near the end of their service life that can be transferred to the Armed Forces instead of being scrapped, Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said. He said additional assets had also been identified, financial resources were needed, and part of the funding had already been secured. #Ukraine

⚡️ Zelenskyy: There are $300 billion worth of frozen Russian assets. Russia has already caused more than $800 billion worth of damage in Ukraine. Can we take the $300 billion that belongs to us? Can we decide for ourselves what type of weapons we need?

I am pleased to welcome Norway’s Minister of Defense, Tore Onshuus Sandvik, on his first visit to Ukraine. We discussed continued defense cooperation, with a focus on co-production and investment in Ukrainian weapons manufacturing, as well as bolstering our air defense and combat aviation. Norwegian F-16s and NASAMS are a significant part of protecting our skies. We value this support and hope for additional systems. I thank the Minister of Defense, the Prime Minister, and the people of Norway for their steadfast and substantial military support for Ukraine, which has increased to $7 billion this year. Ukraine truly feels Norway’s reliable helping hand and deeply appreciates it.

I held a meeting with German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock. We discussed further support for our state, the path to a dignified peace, and the development of security guarantee formats. Germany is a leader in Europe in the scale of assistance provided to Ukraine — from financial aid and weapons to strengthening our air defense. This includes 6 IRIS-T systems, 3 Patriot systems, and Gepard anti-aircraft guns. All this support has saved thousands of lives. We are grateful to the Bundestag for the decision to provide an additional 3 billion euros to Ukraine. In total, German support this year will amount to 7 billion euros. We are grateful that German support for Ukraine remains unwavering and stable. We thank Germany, its Government, and all the German people for their significant assistance.

As planned, today we are heading home after completing all the necessary talks. Every discussion went exactly as needed. The Victory Plan has been presented to America, and we explained each point in detail. Now, our teams will work to implement every step and decision. Strong positions for Ukraine mean a quicker path to peace. Everything crucial for Ukraine is on the table with our partners and under consideration—long-range capabilities, defense packages, sanctions against Russia, and measures regarding Russian assets. We have covered all these topics. We are now preparing for the meeting in Germany within the framework of Ramstein, where we will move forward with our partners on the Victory Plan’s key points. I am grateful to President Biden for the invitation. The most important focus remains the frontlines. We have done everything within our power to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. Now, together with our partners, we need to ensure exactly what will bring a just peace closer. Russia must lose this war. Ukraine must prevail. This is the real foundation for our shared security—peace through strength. I am grateful to everyone who supports us.

❗️Zelenskyy: Ukraine needs certainty — when we will be in the EU and what exact security guarantees we will receive "We are grateful to the United States for being ready to act as guarantors of this security, but we want these guarantees, we want to understand them clearly. We are grateful to Europe for seeing Ukraine in the European Union — and for us, this is part of the security guarantees. So the question is — when? Will we be in the European Union in this century or the next one? In other words, certainty for the Ukrainian people — that’s what is needed."

🇺🇦 “The war has become more expensive.” Zelensky warns Ukraine needs more money to keep fighting Ukraine is facing a growing shortage of funds as the cost of the war continues to rise, President Volodymyr Zelensky said while addressing the country’s new defense minister. “The war has become more expensive — and that is a fact. We need more resources, and the deficit is bigger,” Zelensky said, adding that Russia is using more weapons and Ukraine needs not only to defend itself, but to strike back more actively. Zelensky warned that the next four months will be critical: Ukraine must find additional funding and ensure it is “not weaker than the enemy.” He called on the government, parliament and diplomats to work together to secure the money needed for defense.

We value the format of the Coalition of the Willing – it brings together countries that are ready not only to talk about security, but to act and to build real security together. Now, we have to deal with a funding gap. Because of the way defense budgeting works, at the beginning of this year the Ministry of Defense used funds that had been budgeted for the end of this year. And the total gap is 27 billion. One of the main options is to bring forward part of the European loan funding this year. But we should not give up on other ideas for how to ensure fair protection in this war – a war that Russia started and continues to prolong. Russian assets are already frozen in Europe and in other jurisdictions around the world, including our partners, including Japan. And wherever these assets are, we need to find a fair way to use them for protection against Russia’s war I thank every member of the Coalition of the Willing for their support.
