We need true capabilities. True capabilities require not only euros and dollars but also the industry behind them. Now is the time to work together to ramp up our defense industries, defense and deterrence together. Thanks for the interview, Bloomberg.

We need truth and truthful capacities and unfortunately those truthful needs make you useless and those needs require you to resign . If you and your globalist warlover warpushing friends want to invest your own personal money to this endless BS ,you are more than free to do so, but stop spending taxpayers money for this endless corrupted false flag BS🤡

The Ukraine crisis exposed some shortcomings in our defense industrial base. We’ve still got a lot more work to do. But we have galvanized our own defense industry, investing nearly 70 billion dollars at home to produce capabilities for Ukraine and replenish our own stocks.

Today, I also hosted German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who visited not only Kyiv but also Ukraine’s regions to support our people and our warriors. We discussed Ukraine’s priority defense needs and the further strengthening of our capabilities. I am grateful to Germany for its significant defense support. 🇺🇦🇩🇪

Spanish PM Sánchez: We need to stop Putin. We need to strengthen our deterrence capabilities. Let’s build a true European Army — not in 10 years, but now. Spain will join with all the resources that are needed.

This was our third meeting with President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden this year proving that Ukraine and the U.S. are true allies. We reached a new important agreement: Ukraine and the U.S. will work together to produce armaments and defense systems. We are preparing industrial base to produce air defense and other important items. I also thanked President Biden for his support and the new military aid package announced today. This is exactly what our soldiers need right now. We continue to work together in order to strengthen Ukraine, facilitate grain exports, and increase worldwide support for the Peace Formula.

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.

Ukraine’s defense industry entered a new phase of development today. Our successful Defense Industries Forum demonstrated global interest in the possibility to work in Ukraine—and with Ukraine—to develop arms and everything else that any free nation needs to assure true defense.

I held a meeting with the heads of investment funds and business associations, both Ukrainian and international. We discussed how we can expand the capabilities of our defense industry, develop new areas of cooperation, and open export platforms for weapons. We count on continued support for Ukraine. For us, this is one of the new spheres where we can see tangible growth in cooperation and in Ukraine’s defense industry. According to our estimates, in 2026, the production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach 35 billion dollars. Ukraine is ready to share its expertise and technologies and to develop joint production. We are also ready to open export platforms for weapons in Europe, the United States, and other countries, provided there is proper control and protection of our technologies. I thank everyone who supports Ukraine, invests in Ukrainian intelligent strength, and enables us to keep building our joint capabilities together. I also thank the representatives for the meeting and for the proposals voiced. We will certainly work through each of them.

I met with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. I am grateful to Spain for its support and for this visit – a visit that will also, in many ways, support Ukraine and, importantly, allow us to expand our cooperation: the defense industries of our countries, our defensive capabilities, and our political cooperation. We value all of this very highly. Today, there are new defense agreements between Ukraine and Spain, as well as between our companies. We are working together with the Government of Spain and Spanish companies to ensure the tangible further technological development of our Defense Forces and our countries. Ukraine is ready to help with the necessary drones, experience, and capabilities. Spain’s defense industry, in turn, can supply Ukraine with the ammunition, radars, equipment, and other resources we need. Our teams are already working through the details, and today, new agreements have been signed that expand this cooperation. Thank you, Pedro Sánchez! Thank you, Spain!

Today, I held a Staff meeting, focusing primarily on energy security and the protection of our energy system. The Russians have not changed their objective of destroying Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, relentlessly attacking and adjusting their strikes to our defense capabilities, making it more difficult to repel them. Today’s reports covered defense systems, the protection of energy facilities, and the recovery efforts after attacks. We also discussed air defense capabilities and the need for interceptor missiles. New tasks have been assigned to our diplomats and the Ministry of Defense for working with partners. The supply of air defense systems for Ukraine is critical and must not stop. It is essential to constantly seek ways worldwide to strengthen our defense, increase domestic production of necessary equipment, localize manufacturing, and secure licensing agreements with partners. This is crucial work, with much of Ukraine’s future depending on it.

Jamie Dimon is not fucking around today… “China is an adversary, but what I really worry about is the enemy within. Can we get our own act together, our own values and capabilities. This time is different… we have to get our act together and quickly.”

86 leading defense companies from 21 countries have already confirmed their participation in Ukraine’s first Defense Industries Forum. The event will help Ukraine's defense industry integrate with those of our NATO allies and other partners, ramp up production, and establish new high-tech partnerships. I thank everyone throughout the world who helps us enhance our shared security, as well as those who are willing to work in Ukraine. Together, we are gaining strength to protect life and freedom.

The strength of our state now, the strength of our defense now, is the basis of the strength of the rules-based international order. That is why the key task of our country and the purpose of virtually every international communication of ours is to strengthen 🇺🇦, to bolster our defense, to increase the capabilities of our warriors and our country as a whole. Every foreign visit and almost every negotiation allows 🇺🇦 to become stronger. We will win together!

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.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte alongside U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Clearly we have to do more, we have to ramp up defense spending because we know we cannot protect ourselves four or five years from now if we don’t. And also we need to ramp up defense spending because it is clear that the U.S., rightly, requires us to do more here on the European side and the Canadian side of NATO. It’s only fair, it’s only sensible." Notice that change of tune?

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.

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.
