After Poland gave Ukraine ~$11 billion in aid (the highest per capita support in the entire world) and was the first to push the West to arm you, we should be granted full and immediate membership in this initiative without any additional sign-ups or conditions.

Ever heard of supply and demand? Obviously, there isn't much demand for your cheap crap, so stop begging and keep your junk. And to repeat it one more time in simple terms so even you can understand: No Patriot missiles, no NATO, no EU And now get lost—you've got a war to lose.

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.

Important work lies ahead in Ankara. We expect a strong and productive NATO Summit. Decisions are needed now that will provide greater protection for our people, more capabilities for our defense, and even stronger security cooperation between Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. The NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum, nearly twenty planned bilateral meetings with leaders, new Drone Deals, and other agreements with partners. We will continue to work on bolstering Ukraine’s air defense. New systems, missiles for them, and the issue of production licenses – all of this is our priority. We are grateful to everyone who is helping Ukraine with real steps.

We all need a modern and truly effective defense system capable of protecting against any threats. The war has changed, and now, without genuinely strong protection against every type of drone, no one can feel secure. Ukraine has developed a special format of security agreement, which we call the Drone Deal format. We propose combining our military expertise and defense capabilities with those of our partners, specifically in drones, missiles, electronic warfare, and data sharing. Importantly, Italy has shown interest in this format of cooperation, and Giorgia and I agreed that our teams will work through the details of a Drone Deal between Ukraine and Italy. From a joint press conference with Giorgia Meloni (3/3).

Today, we defend against hundreds and hundreds of attack drones every day, and thousands and thousands every week and every month. Ukraine’s defense sector is building that capability even in the middle of a full-scale war. We also maintain a high interception rate against cruise missiles, thanks to the way we have built our air defense – and thanks to the support of all our partners who continue to provide Ukraine with defense assistance. I have a question for you – Do you really believe it would be RIGHT to leave outside NATO a country and a people with this level of defensive capability? From a speech at the NATO Defense Industry Forum. (2/5)

During our meeting, I presented the Prime Minister with the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, II Class. And today, our countries took a critical step forward—we signed the Joint Declaration on Enhanced Security and Defense Cooperation. This important document formalizes areas such as exchange of experience, defense industrial cooperation, and air defense. We also continue to work on an agreement in the Drone Deal format. We value all of Estonia’s contributions to the PURL initiative. We count on further support, and I outlined our needs. We also discussed increasing sanctions pressure on Russia and Ukraine’s membership in the European Union.

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.

Over the past week, the Russian Federation has launched approximately 1,900 attack drones, nearly 1,400 guided aerial bombs, and around 60 missiles of various types against Ukraine. This highlights how timely the new partner contributions to the PURL initiative are, as well as the approval of the EU’s 20th sanctions package and the €90 billion European support package agreed in Cyprus. I thank all our partners who are helping. Our air defense system is already showing a very high success rate in intercepting drones – over 90%. And we need to keep working to ensure this rate continues to increase, not only against drones but also against ballistic threats. Every additional delivery of air defense missiles means saved lives and better protection for our cities and critical infrastructure.

I thank each of our combat brigades, all soldiers, and commanders who are using all their strength to destroy the enemy, especially by effectively deploying our drone capabilities. Our Ukrainian Defense and Security Forces are already gaining an advantage in this area – in July, our soldiers deployed more drones than the occupiers. This needs to be a steady trend on the front – across all types of drones available to our units: from FPV to all others, including our long-range drones – which are already having a strategic impact on the war. Impacting – in the interests of Ukraine. And our Ukrainian leadership in drones can not only be a factor that brings a just end to the war closer but also makes Ukraine a supplier of security for other states. Today, Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister for Innovations, Development of Education, Science and Technologies, and Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, also reported at the Staff meeting on drone production and financing. For this year, a million drones have already been contracted with our manufacturers, and by the end of the year, there will be more. Our drone production capabilities are consistently expanding. We're working not only with state funding but also with partners who are investing in our drone manufacturing. These drones are crucial for our defense now and will later enhance security for everyone who values life and stands with us in solidarity.

A new important step in our defense cooperation with the Netherlands – today, our countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning Coproduction of drones. This is one of the promising areas of our bilateral cooperation. I thank the Government, the Prime Minister, and all the people of the Netherlands for their support of Ukraine – since the start of the full-scale war, it has already reached nearly $9 billion. I am also grateful for their contribution within the PURL initiative – around $600 million. Support for this initiative sends signals and sets examples for other partners. During today’s meeting with the Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, Ruben Brekelmans, we discussed the development of joint drone production, the implementation of the initiative, and collaboration with the Netherlands in this area. I am grateful for the meeting and for all the efforts made to support our people.

The Ukraine Defense Contact Group, also known as the Ramstein group, held a productive meeting today. These are the countries supporting Ukraine’s defense and protection from Russian terror. Ukraine's Defense Minister Umerov attended, and I am looking forward to his detailed briefing. There will undoubtedly be new military aid packages, including deficit artillery. New countries are joining the Czech initiative on artillery ammunition for Ukraine, and I am grateful to each of them. Our priorities in air defense, electronic warfare, and drones remain unchanged. I thank all countries that are making meaningful contributions to them. Ukrainian drones are already demonstrating powerful results, and we must significantly increase the international component of our cooperation. Our drone strengthening must be felt at the frontline. I am grateful to all Ramstein participants and the United States, particularly Defense Secretary Austin, for their leadership. I would also like to thank Germany for the €500 million military aid package announced today. Artillery and armored vehicles. We value Germany's contribution to saving Ukrainian lives and our independence.

Over the next 6 months, we can make real progress on the Drone Deal that Ukraine has proposed to the European Union. We have also concluded a good number of bilateral agreements and broader partnerships with European countries that can help bring Ukraine’s new defense technologies into wider use, including drone and counter-drone systems that are already proving effective. Today, every country needs the modern means to at least monitor and protect its own airspace and sea borders. Without Ukraine, without Ukraine’s experience and security expertise, tested in modern war, it is simply impossible to guarantee security today, especially when it comes to air defense and maritime security. From a speech at the opening ceremony of Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the EU. (1/3)

During the meeting with Rob Jetten of the Netherlands Rob Jetten, the key focus was, of course, security. Today, we devoted significant attention specifically to security issues. Ukraine proposed to the Netherlands a format for a special agreement on security partnership – our Drone Deal. And this is not only about drones as such, but also about the comprehensive development of all air defense capabilities – protection against missiles and drones, the development of electronic warfare, and our joint weapons production. We tasked our teams with working out all the details, and we signed documents to begin this work – both on the Drone Deal and on the first joint production specifically with the Netherlands. Thank you for today’s exchange of assessments of the situation in international relations, especially in light of the war in Iran, which is currently affecting virtually everyone in the world. We in Europe need to engage more, coordinate more, in order to protect European interests in the face of such a global crisis. Thank you for all the support.

We signed a Drone Deal agreement with Denmark. This is already Ukraine’s ninth such agreement, and it is important that more and more partners are joining this format, which opens up greater opportunities for joint defense production, the exchange of expertise, and transparency in weapons exports. Together, we are building a new security architecture. I thank Denmark, and personally Mette, for this step toward strengthening our shared defense. It was with Denmark that we began joint production in Ukraine under the Danish model, and it is absolutely fair that Denmark will now have access to Ukrainian exports of weapons tested in war. Today, we also discussed with the Prime Minister Statsministeriet the strengthening of our air defense and work on European anti-ballistic defense. It is extremely important for us right now to receive Patriot missiles as quickly as possible and to jointly develop our own European capabilities to counter ballistic threats. I thank Denmark for its continued support for our people – for its defense and financial assistance, and for all its contributions to the PURL initiative.

Together, we are building a new security architecture. I thank Denmark, and personally Mette, for this step toward strengthening our shared defense. It was with Denmark that we began joint production in Ukraine under the Danish model, and it is absolutely fair that Denmark will now have access to Ukrainian exports of weapons tested in war. Today, we also discussed with the Prime Minister Statsministeriet the strengthening of our air defense and work on European anti-ballistic defense. It is extremely important for us right now to receive Patriot missiles as quickly as possible and to jointly develop our own European capabilities to counter ballistic threats. I thank Denmark for its continued support for our people – for its defense and financial assistance, and for all its contributions to the PURL initiative.
