Today, we are preparing to work with our partners throughout the week, particularly with our European allies who support us in a principled and effective manner. We have established a new format of cooperation—Ukraine plus the countries of Northern Europe. Within this framework, we are strengthening our collaboration in... defense, politics, and economics. At the core of this partnership is our shared values. We envision a Europe that we want to pass on to future generations—one that is undeniably safe, democratic, and capable of protecting the interests of Europeans. I am grateful to each country in this format: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland. We expect support from all our partners for the Victory Plan. They all understand the importance of being resolute and the necessity of creating challenges for the aggressor, so that Russia loses the ability to disrupt global stability. We will discuss with our Nordic partners new principled steps that can intensify pressure on Russia over this war and for the sake of honest diplomacy. Therefore, next week, we anticipate more diplomatic news and new packages of support for Ukraine.show more

The voice of a terrorist, and a traitor of his own people.

"We expect support from all our partners for the Victory Plan." Haven't you realised yet that most of your "partners" do not support your victory plan. Ukraine will never join NATO.

Here's hoping you and your team's upcoming meetings with Ukraine's Nordic partners will bring extremely positive results. Unity is everything. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦💙💛💪✌️

You cannot subject the Ukrainian people to more hell. Go to the front yourself and bring the Kiev regime with you;

You are the leader of your money laundering scheme with the Biden's and it is about to end lil man. Americans and I am sure many other Countries citizens are tired of funding your entire Country and proxy war.

Ukraine needs a lot of help right now, which European countries will definitely provide. I hope that they will support Ukraine and try to end the war with Russia soon.

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.

A Berlin format meeting with partners. The main focus was on the situation in our energy sector and our reconstruction. Ukraine will prepare and send partners a list of needs to support our energy infrastructure and military capabilities. We are counting on their support. Attention was also given to security guarantees for Ukraine and all of Europe. We also discussed our diplomatic work and the importance of assistance to Ukraine. Support for the PURL initiative must continue, and the full potential of the SAFE instrument for joint weapons production with Ukraine must be realized. Ukrainians, along with all other Europeans, must feel secure in their future and assured that Russian aggression will never occur again. I thank our partners who understand this and help. We aligned our positions, coordinated next steps, and agreed on further contacts within the broader circle.

Russia is carrying out hundreds of strikes against Ukrainian cities and communities, attacking our civilian infrastructure every day. This past week alone, the Russians have launched 1,920 attack drones, 1,790 guided aerial bombs, and 17 missiles of various types against Ukraine. We need to step up our countermeasures against these attacks. We are preparing for meetings with partners to strengthen our defense against this Russian terror. The G7, EU, and NATO summits are ahead. And it is very important that these negotiations result in concrete decisions. We expect meaningful meetings with our partners. First and foremost, we need support for air defense and our long-range capabilities, an expansion of cooperation in the Drone Deals format, and further strengthening of sanctions pressure on Russia. We must end this war in a dignified way and with guaranteed security. And it is through strength, the unity of partners, and pressure on Russia that this can be achieved in a lasting way. I thank everyone who is helping us!

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.

Ukraine greatly values its relations with Türkiye, the mutual understanding we share, and the support we receive in this extraordinary time of war. We are grateful for the warm welcome, hospitality and absolutely constructive approach in our negotiations. Today, together with President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we discussed in detail the global processes that could contribute to ending Russia's war against Ukraine, including the importance of joint efforts to ensure security guarantees for Ukraine. We also talked about our bilateral relations, economic issues, cooperation between our societies in education, various projects, food security, and work on the return of our prisoners held by Russia. We are grateful to Türkiye for all the support to our country and people, for its principled stance on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state. 🇺🇦🇹🇷

We will present the Victory Plan to every country that can strengthen Ukraine—any nation that can truly help bring peace closer. Once we fully understand the positions of our partners and assess all real possibilities for Ukraine, enhancing our Victory Plan, we will make our strategy for future actions public. The overall perspective must be clear to everyone in our country. We are asking our partners to define their position: how they see the end of this war, Ukraine’s role in the global security architecture, and the joint steps that can put this war on a course to its end.

In the coming week, we will have more international contacts to strengthen our country. They will enhance our positions in Europe, in relations with the EU, our EU neighbours, and international institutions—those tasked with protecting international law. We are also preparing new military aid packages for our warriors. After this week is over, we will be able to say that Ukraine has strengthened. It is critical that we see more clear agreements in our bilateral relations each week, as well as increased resilience in our defense coalitions' supplies of weapons, ammunition, and vehicles. I am grateful to everyone in the world who assists us in exactly this way—ensuring that coalitions work and that the resilience of our warriors is based on the resilience of our partners.

During my meeting with the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, we focused primarily on our defense cooperation and agreed to work together within the Drone Deal format: our countries now have such bilateral agreement. The agreement is intended to strengthen both our countries in defense, and importantly, it is built on the principle of reciprocity – we support our partners who provide real and tangible support for our defense. A Ukrainian military expert team will work in Lithuania to develop the necessary security capabilities, first and foremost to counter modern threats and strengthen the security of our countries and the entire region. The challenges we face are shared, and we must overcome them together. We value Lithuania’s principled support and its readiness to strengthen defense and make it truly capable of responding to any Russian attacks. I am also grateful to Gitanas Nausėda for his clear position on our European integration – all six negotiation clusters for Ukraine should be opened.

As always, a good and productive meeting with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre. We discussed in detail our cooperation in the production and use of drones. Our experience is already being used in the Middle East and the Gulf. We are improving defense against “shahed” drones, and we believe this should also be done in Europe. Today, for this purpose, we initiated a Drone Deal with Norway and signed a Joint Declaration on Enhanced Defense and Security Cooperation. Now our teams will work out the details. We also focused on our joint production projects and cooperation priorities for this year, and not only in defense. We continue to work together with partners to strengthen our countries. I personally thank Jonas, Norway, and all Norwegians for their military and energy support for Ukraine, for strengthening our air defense, and for their readiness to continue support for the PURL initiative. We feel your support and are sincerely grateful for it.

We continue working with our partners on weapons supply. The Defense Minister reported on communication within the Ramstein format, we’ve preserved this format, and I’m grateful to all partners for its effectiveness. Today, I also approved the main principles of the agreements between Ukraine and the U.S. on weapons. These are large-scale agreements – I’ve discussed them with President Trump, and we are counting on being able to implement them. This will undoubtedly strengthen both of our countries and, therefore, our allies and partners. We highly value America’s principled steps to pressure Russia for the sake of peace. It is precisely now that action is needed – action to force Russia toward peace. Moscow wants to keep fighting. But the whole issue comes down to potential, to resources for war, to money. That’s exactly why sanctions are useful. That’s exactly why pressure can work.

I met today with Latvia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Baiba Braže. I presented her with the Order of Merit, II class, for her significant personal contribution to strengthening our cooperation and supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. I am grateful for all the assistance to our people, for the visit, and especially for her trip to Chernihiv. It is extremely important for us when partners personally visit such places and support the reconstruction of our schools and kindergartens. We discussed defense support. We value Latvia’s contribution to the PURL initiative. We also spoke about the possibilities of using the SAFE mechanism and the prospects for joint weapons production. Latvia is a leader in the Drone Coalition. This year, it has supplied Ukraine with about 12,000 drones, and this is vital support for our defense. We also focused on the diplomatic situation. Our positions are aligned – the sanctions pressure on Russia must be increased, and the relevant work with partners must continue. Latvia stands with us and will continue to do so. I am grateful for the unwavering support for Ukraine.

New defense packages, strengthened air defense, and even more investments in our defense industry. Over the past few weeks, European countries have made dozens of decisions to increase support for Ukraine. Strong positions on the frontline and strong diplomacy must work together to achieve a just and lasting peace. Under U.S. leadership and in cooperation with all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable. Peace is our shared goal. We are grateful to all partners who, together with Ukraine, bring peace closer for all our people every day!

We are coordinating our international efforts—today we held relevant meetings, primarily regarding the United States and our European partners. Peace through strength is possible, and we firmly believe in this. The key is not to slow down and to keep the pressure on Russia—the sole actor responsible for this war, the one that wants it and is prolonging the aggression and occupation. Energy resources, particularly oil, remain one of the most critical factors for peace and real security. And Europe must work more closely with America and other global partners on energy resources, not with Russia. We are preparing our diplomacy and international communications to ensure strong positions not only for Ukraine but for our entire Europe. I thank everyone who is helping us.

Today, my meeting with the President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, focused primarily on strengthening the energy and economic capacities of both our nations so that together we can do more for the national security of our states. We are working to expand cross-border energy cooperation – building two new power transmission lines with Romania. Equally important is our ability to pursue projects together in resource extraction on the Black Sea shelf. Today, we also discussed projects in the oil and gas sector that can support us now, including in light of the challenges related to the Middle East. We reviewed opportunities for transporting American LNG to Ukraine via Romania. We are also working to open new border crossing points – and this will be achieved already this summer. I thank Romania for its principled position throughout all these years of Russia’s full-scale war. Ukraine and Romania are natural strategic partners. The geography of our region, the security challenges we face, and the economic needs of our peoples all point to one conclusion: cooperation between us must only grow stronger.

The Russians are not preparing for peace. We must ensure complete protection – and that is exactly what we are doing. Meanwhile, we are not postponing negotiations; no one is disappointed in diplomacy. This is not a matter of emotions, as some might say. It is a matter of what partners are ready for. Russia operates in a very simple way: if they are afraid, they’re willing to toe the line. If pressure on Russia is weakened, Russia thinks it has struck gold and can continue the war. That is why pressure on the aggressor is the key to peace, real diplomacy, and real agreements. Today, I gave new instructions to Rustem Umerov. He is in constant communication with the American side, 24/7. This week we will also work with our partners in Europe so that Ukraine has greater capabilities to defend itself, and our partners are more willing to support us. Thank you to everyone who is helping.

Among all the European nations that have already joined the European Union or see such a prospect for themselves, Ukraine is the one making the greatest sacrifices for Europe. We are not simply carrying out internal reforms, nor are we simply going through a transformation. We are fighting for our state, for our independence, and for our right to choose our own path and to be Europe. And this right of ours is at the same time the right of every nation in our region. We are fighting for our freedom and theirs, for Europe for ourselves and for them – for the Baltic states and for Poland, for Hungary and Slovakia, for Romania and Moldova, and for the peoples of the Caucasus. That is why the fate of Europe is being decided here – it is being decided in Ukraine, in this war, and in how this war ends – and whether Russia will still have the strength and the desire after this war to threaten the existence of Ukraine and its other neighbors, and the entirety of Europe. That is why we must end this war with dignity and with guaranteed security. And this is what we will discuss with our partners during the G7 Summit in France, and later at the European Council Summit and at the NATO Summit in Ankara.

The Netherlands is one of the most principled defenders of life – a nation that truly supports our defense, our resilience, and, importantly, our work to achieve justice. Today, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Rob Jetten, Mr. Schoof, is in Ukraine, and I am grateful for the consistent attention and support for Ukraine. We discussed many pressing issues. Above all, our focus was on Ukraine’s defense and military projects, pressure on the Russian Federation and ensuring accountability for its crimes, political cooperation, and support for our people in energy challenges. I am thankful to the Netherlands for their continued readiness to stand with Ukraine and all Europeans in defending our shared values and our lives.

My first meeting with the new Prime Minister of Latvia, Andris Kulbergs (AS) 🇺🇦🇱🇻, and an important result for our countries – we signed a Drone Deal. These are concrete things to strengthen our joint defense and co-production, and, importantly, this also means Ukraine’s expertise and experience helping to strengthen our partners. This is exactly the kind of systemic cooperation we are building with those who have consistently supported us throughout all the years of Russia’s war. Ukraine is interested in ensuring that every region of Europe has sufficient protection against Russian threats. I also informed the Prime Minister about Ukraine’s air defense needs. Separately, we discussed sanctions pressure on Russia, in particular strengthening sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet. I am grateful that we have such excellent relations between our nations. And we thank Latvia for all the support it has provided to Ukraine throughout this war.

My first meeting with the new Prime Minister of Latvia, Andris Kulbergs (AS) 🇺🇦🇱🇻, and an important result for our countries – we signed a Drone Deal. These are concrete things to strengthen our joint defense and co-production, and, importantly, this also means Ukraine’s expertise and experience helping to strengthen our partners. This is exactly the kind of systemic cooperation we are building with those who have consistently supported us throughout all the years of Russia’s war. Ukraine is interested in ensuring that every region of Europe has sufficient protection against Russian threats. I also informed the Prime Minister about Ukraine’s air defense needs.

I met with Masud Gharahkhani, President of the Storting, and the leaders of political parties represented in the Norwegian Parliament. We deeply appreciate that all parties are united in their support for Ukraine. We discussed the consolidation of international support at the parliamentary level and the areas of our future cooperation. I informed the MPs on the diplomatic efforts to achieve peace, the vision for a future security architecture of Ukraine and Europe, and humanitarian efforts to bring our children home. I am grateful to the people of Norway for their assistance to Ukraine and to the Storting for its decision to allocate nearly $8 billion this year. This is truly a significant contribution to strengthening our nation.
