During the 600 days of full-scale Russian aggression, I presented state awards to over 60 thousand Ukrainians for fighting for Ukraine. This is truly the full-scale bravery of our nation. The one rooted in its unbeatable trait. We are making every effort to provide our warriors with more air... defense systems, to better protect our cities - to preserve life, including economic activity, and to develop industry, including the defense industry. All of this contributes to Ukraine's resilience and strength. I am grateful to all of our partners who help us. All those who will be with us for the long haul. All those who understand that this is a marathon and that running a marathon requires maintaining a constant tempo and calculating forces, as well as clearly seeing victory at the end of the distance.show more

You could have made peace and cost your country much less loss of life, but you chose war. You could have made peace repeatedly and lost the same amount of land (which you were ignoring anyway). You know your usefulness is running out.

Ukraine's goal is clear: we will win and provide Ukraine with the power to guarantee a lasting peace. And I thank each and every one of our warriors - everyone who is fighting for Ukraine! I am grateful to all the volunteers who help, to each and every one of them. To all Ukrainians who feel that they are at war and therefore help the defense.

I want to express gratitude to our air defense warriors—every individual in the various types and branches of our forces who protect our skies. Every night and every day, they intercept Russian Shahed drones and missiles. This morning, they successfully shot down a Russian ballistic missile. Every success like this saves lives. Ukraine is deeply grateful to all our partners who provide interceptor missiles and air defense systems. We are currently working to secure additional supplies—missiles, defense systems, and everything necessary to strengthen our mobile fire groups. Our strategic goal is to reach a practical level of cooperation with our partners that allows us to produce the air defense systems and interceptor missiles we need here in Ukraine. I am grateful to everyone who helps us.

These days, a Ukrainian delegation, including the First Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, representatives of the General Staff, and the Head of the Office of the President, is working in Washington. There have been meetings at various levels, and one of our top priorities is securing long-range capabilities for our Defense Forces. This is crucial to preventing the terror that our Kharkiv and other cities across Ukraine are forced to endure. Clearing Ukrainian skies of Russian guided bombs is a powerful step toward forcing Russia to seek an end to the war and a just peace. Our representatives have provided all the necessary information and details to our partners. I am calling on the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany – we need the means to fully and effectively protect Ukraine and its people. We need permissions for long-range capabilities, as well as your long-range shells and missiles. Making these vital decisions cannot be delayed – these are the actions that can have the most significant impact on the course of events. We are also discussing air defense with our partners – systems that are especially needed now, before the start of the school year, to provide more safety for Ukrainian children in schools, for our cities, and our energy infrastructure. We have agreements with partners on air defense systems and missiles for these systems. It's crucial to implement everything as quickly as possible. We are working even more actively these days to secure such news – additional air defense systems. I thank everyone around the world who is helping. I thank to all of Ukraine’s friends who do not stay silent about Russian terror, who respond to the attacks, spread the truth about this war, and urge the world to be more decisive and therefore more effective in defending against Russia.

Today, during our meeting with Dutch Prime Minister, we focused our discussion on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense, including new air defense systems and the missiles for them. We also talked about F-16s for Ukraine and all the necessary weapons for our defense against the Russian occupiers, including shells for our soldiers, essential equipment, and the protection of our energy infrastructure. I am grateful to the Netherlands for announcing a new assistance package for Ukraine. We also discussed the possibility of the Netherlands taking on a patronage role over Zaporizhzhia, which would involve supporting infrastructure, protecting normal life, and addressing humanitarian issues. This is something that will definitely help Ukraine, and we deeply appreciate all the support from the people of the Netherlands, from Prime Minister Schoof personally, and from all the political and public figures in the Netherlands. And of course, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all our people, to everyone who is protecting Ukraine, our Zaporizhzhia, and all our cities and communities — to everyone fighting for Ukraine, working here in our country, and helping us. I am proud of our people and proud of Ukraine.

Today, together with Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi, we are working on the front line in the Oleksandrivskyi sector. We met with the warriors of the 80th Halytska Separate Air Assault Brigade. And above all, we are here to express gratitude to the warriors thanks to whom Ukraine is able to mark the 35th anniversary of the restoration of its independence these days. Russia began its full-scale war after the 30th anniversary, but for more than four years now, Ukrainian warriors have been fighting with pride and resilience to preserve our state. This is the main reason Ukraine exists and lives. I presented state awards to the warriors. Thank you for your service! We also discussed with the commanders today how to strengthen our defense. There are specific requests: drone supplies, the need for long-range artillery and small radars, direct funding for brigades, AWOL issues, as well as the training and motivation of our warriors. We will work through all of this. We need to strengthen our defenders as much as possible.

I have no doubt that Ukraine will win. Fellow Ukrainians, we should all have self-confidence. I am proud of everyone who fights for Ukraine, destroys the occupiers, and retakes our positions. I am proud of those who are currently serving in the trenches and combat posts, those who are training our warriors, and those who are producing arms, ammunition, and equipment for Ukraine. I am proud of those educating our minors, treating people and rescuing them after strikes, providing normal life to our cities, and giving us power. I am proud of everyone who gives us confidence—our parents and our children; those who love us; those who pray for us and our victory; and those helping us from every corner of the world. I am proud of those who survived cellar and occupation, but have not given up. Proud of all those who make every effort every day to liberate Ukraine and Ukrainians from Russian captivity. I am proud of you, the people of Ukraine! I am proud of you, the Ukrainian warrior!

I am deeply grateful to all our partners who support us with air defense systems and missiles. This is a truly global effort. Every time Russia carries out such attacks, it underscores how critical it is that partners don’t leave systems like Patriot and others sitting idle in warehouses, but instead provide them to those who know how to protect lives and urgently need them. We still haven’t received all the necessary systems from our allies—but we continue to work toward that goal. Once these systems are in place, our ability to repel attacks will be much stronger. One more thing: The plan for strengthening Ukraine is the Victory Plan that I presented to our partners. One of its key elements is providing our army with long-range capabilities. There’s been much said in the media today that we have received approval to take relative actions. But strikes are not carried out with words. These things are not announced. The missiles will speak for themselves.

This night, 34 Russian missiles targeted Ukraine. We managed to intercept a portion of them. However, the world has all of the resources to assist us in intercepting every missile and drone fired by Russian terrorists. This is completely doable. All that is required is for the necessary political decisions and agreements to be implemented. What Ukraine needs is air defense systems, a sufficient quantity and quality of weapons to ensure our frontline actions, as well as prompt delivery and steadfast action. Terror must always fail, and everyone who assists us in combating Russian terror is a true life defender. Ukraine is grateful to the United States and all of our partners for their decisions to support our country and its people. We must make every effort to ensure that life prevails.

I presented almost 700 of our warriors with state awards these days. Our Armed Forces, including Air Forces, Navy, Intelligence, combat medics, and others. They have all demonstrated their worth on the frontlines, in combat brigades, and in protecting all of Ukraine and all of our people. These are the people, brave Ukrainians, who safeguard us all on December 31st, January 1st, and every holiday and workday. They are our people's strength and pride. And I am especially grateful to those who are now engaged in combat, at combat posts, or performing combat tasks.

After the talks in Jeddah and the American proposal for a ceasefire on the frontline, Russia stole almost another week – a week of war that only Russia wants. We will do everything to further intensify diplomacy. We will do everything to make diplomacy effective. But every day now is about defending our independence, our state, and our people. We must remember – it is the support of our army, all our defense and security forces, and our state that determines everything. I thank each and every one who does not forget that Ukraine’s defense and resilience are paramount. I am grateful to all Ukrainian soldiers, every one of our units. I thank everyone who works for our defense and for our state. I thank all Ukrainians for every fundraiser for our Ukrainian army. We must remember – as long as the occupier is on our land, and as long as air raid sirens sound, we must defend Ukraine.

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.

We are already preparing for the “Ramstein” meeting – it is scheduled for the next week. Dozens of partner countries will participate, including those who can help boost our capabilities not only to defend against missiles but also against guided bombs and Russian aviation. We will discuss this with them and continue to persuade them. Lives need protection here and now in Ukraine, and air defense systems must be operational for this purpose. I am grateful to all partners who understand this and are helping us strengthen our air shield.

Today’s Russian missile attack targeted Ukraine’s energy system and its various facilities, including the power grid and the gas transit system, particularly the gas infrastructure that ensures the security of deliveries to the EU. It is critical that such strikes do not become routine for the world. I am grateful to all the leaders who respond to them, including by condemning Russian terror and contacting partners who have the necessary air defense that could be used in Ukraine, as well as relevant missiles. To ensure that terrorists lose, leaders must show solidarity that works 24/7 to provide protection from terror. Just like our people, who eliminate the consequences of the strikes, and our warriors, who work tirelessly every day and night to achieve the best for Ukraine with the resources at their disposal. Every day our country should gain strength. Every day we must reinforce Ukrainian positions. We need to make Moscow realize that this war will not yield any results for them. And it’s only through strength that we can achieve this. All Ukrainians. All partners. With equal decisiveness.

Today, the Air Force is much more than just one branch of the military. It is a component of our defense that, in many ways, truly shapes the course of this war. Ukrainians did not surrender – and will not surrender – their skies to Russia. That is one of our nation's greatest achievements throughout this full-scale war. We did not allow our Air Force to be destroyed, and have built it up to the point where Russia regularly loses its aircraft. And now, when the only thing – the last thing – Putin has left to bet on is his massive attacks against Ukraine, the Air Force, our combat aviation, is destroying Russian cruise missiles and trying to destroy ballistic missiles as well. And when our Patriot batteries aren't empty, it succeeds. It is important that, thanks to our cooperation with Europe, our IRIS-T, Hawk, and NASAMS systems are operating. Every day, we fight to secure missile supplies for them. And I am grateful that our partners around the world are helping us with that. Of course, ballistic missiles remain a challenge. But we have provided Ukraine with protection against a significant share of cruise missiles, and we are shooting down a great many. Our interception rate against attack drones is also above 90%, and that is a truly significant achievement for Ukraine – for all of us, for every one of you. I thank all of you – all those gathered here today, every man and woman defending Ukraine's skies – who, despite fighting what is, in reality, an unequal battle and lacking sufficient means to bring down enemy targets, accomplish the incredible, go beyond the maximum. You have shown the world your skill and proven that Ukrainians are capable of overcoming anything. All we need are the weapons and the means to do it. We are proud of you. And we honor all our heroes who gave their lives so that Ukraine lives – those who protected us and remain in the skies forever.

We will hold a special conference in December of Ukrainian and American defense industries, officials, and all those who organizes our defense supplies. This will be a significant event that will build on our Defense Industries Forum in September. The forum in Washington, D.C., as well as our work on defense production in Ukraine and the United States, will further its success. I am grateful to the United States, President Biden and his team, the US Congress and both parties that support Ukraine. My special gratitude goes to American defense companies and partners in Europe—all those who defend freedom in practice. This is the time for us to achieve maximum results in order to make sure that the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren are not squandered by war.

Yesterday’s Russian strike on Kharkiv sadly took the lives of two people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 30 people were wounded—all have received the necessary medical assistance. I thank our rescuers and medics who work every day for our people. Over the past week, most regions of Ukraine have come under attack: 1,310 Russian guided aerial bombs, over 1,000 attack drones—mostly "Shaheds"—and 9 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones. A significant number were successfully shot down by our air defense warriors, mobile fire groups, and all units involved in protecting our skies. Russia is dragging out the war, and we are providing our partners with full information on the strikes the Russian army is carrying out and the actions it is preparing for. We expect a response from the United States, Europe and all our allies to this terror against our people. I thank all the leaders and states who understand this and continue their support. The stability and predictability of support for Ukraine are crucial. I am grateful to every country that helps us with air defense systems and investing in our defense industry—all of this helps protect Ukraine.

I am grateful to all of our partners who help us fight for air defense, for relevant deliveries. This is of extreme importance. On the diplomatic front, we are working hard not only to counter Russian influence, but also to persuade partners to increase their supply of air defense systems and missiles. The other issue is the availability of weapons and ammunition for our frontline warriors to carry out current and future missions in the coming months. We are well aware of what Russia is preparing for. They are war-sick and will not stop themselves. And we make every effort to have sufficient capabilities to counter them.

Our National Legend ceremony this year highlights a very important, key – in fact fundamental – pillar of statehood. It highlights the truth – about us, our history, our fight. This truth is simple: Ukraine was, Ukraine is, Ukraine will be. One of the symbols of this is our National Legends. Those who create for people and bring glory to Ukraine for decades. Those who fought for Ukraine and our people long before its official revival. And all those who have shown their very best, their legendary qualities and virtues, during the full-scale war. All of you – through your work, talent, courage, and resilience that you have demonstrated all this time – you prove: Ukraine is always legendary. We thank you! We thank our warriors and all our people! Glory to Ukraine!

Today, I held a meeting with the Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal, regarding recovery efforts. The government is preparing additional measures to ensure that more Ukrainian children can attend school in person this autumn, rather than online, so they can experience normal school life as much as possible under the current circumstances. Secondly, our relations with partners: we are preparing agreements and arrangements that will be finalized this August. These include security agreements, with negotiations set to begin tomorrow with another European country. We are also organizing visits of leaders to Ukraine, along with the content of our negotiations and the long-term philosophy of our agreements. It is crucial to ensure sustainability for our state for years to come, as this will guarantee greater opportunities for us this year, given the current challenges and threats. Our primary tasks are to support the Defense Forces, the state budget, and Ukraine's social resilience. I am grateful to everyone worldwide who is helping us. And, of course, I extend my gratitude to our warriors – all the soldiers, sergeants, and officers on the front lines who protect our state, defend our positions, care for neighboring units, and assist when needed.

I thank Sweden for all its support for Ukraine – for our people and for our defense. Sweden is absolutely committed to protecting life, and we value this immensely. Today, we have a new support package for Ukraine, and the most important element of it is the Swedish Gripen fighter jets, which will strengthen our air force. Overall, this year, next year, and our future cooperation are all about building Ukraine’s fleet of Swedish Gripens. This will help us guarantee the security of Ukraine and Ukrainians. Today, the Ulf Kristersson and I also discussed the details of our cooperation across all other areas. I briefed him on the situation in Ukraine – on the battlefield and in our defense against Russian strikes. We need our own European antiballistic capabilities in sufficient quantity and with sufficient strength. We will work on this, including within the NB8 format – one of our most effective formats, bringing together Ukraine, the Nordic countries, and the Baltic states. I am also grateful to Sweden for all the sanctions steps – everything that limits Russia’s capacity for aggression.
