We increase our opportunities and more clearly see the end of the war with Ukrainian victory - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Today there is a solution to two new defense packages - from America and Denmark. The US package is, in particular, aircraft missiles, Himars missiles, ammunition, among other things, 155th caliber . . . The total volume of this American package is $ 150 million. I thank the Biden President, his team, the United States Congress and all Americans who value freedom.

It is very important that the enemies of freedom do not have illusions that the protection of freedom may not withstand a defensive marathon. A significant Danish package is over $ 500 million. It is also additional armored vehicles for our soldiers - tanks, BMP. Drones. Shells for artillery. I thank you, Danie! This is what really helps us to protect our people's lives at the front. Today, he spoke with Ms. Denmark Prime Minister Matte Frederixen.

Very substantive - just about filling our further defense cooperation, maintaining unity in Europe and among all our partners and our formula of peace. I am grateful to Denmark for his readiness to realistically approach the execution of the formula points. We continue to prepare a meeting on Malta regarding the formula of peace - we add more participants.

He participated in the work of the European Council - the leaders of the EU countries, the President of the Euro Council Charles Michel, as well as the President of the European Commission Ursula von Der Lyen and the President of the European Parliament Robert Metzola. The EU is preparing a few steps we expect. This applies to new sanctions against Russia and new steps in support of Ukraine.

We especially expect the EU's political decision to start negotiating on our country's membership and for our part we do everything to be ready. Today, I signed one of the most important laws on this path before the negotiations - the law on "Pepi", politically significant persons. This law adds the forces of financial monitoring of the lives of key state officials and people's deputies.

And its adoption is a clear signal of how seriously Ukraine perceives the task of joining the European Union and making the work of its state institutions truly clean. And, of course, the front. I held a military office today. A special format of work with commander, reconnaissance heads, Security Service of Ukraine, Minister of Defense. Reports from each combat direction - our generals Syrsky, Tarnavsky, Gnatov, Moskalov, Sodol. Zaluzhny Head.

Head of GUR Budanov and head of external intelligence Litvinenko. Our strategic tasks. Supply for warriors - shells, equipment. Ukrainian defense-industrial complex. We increase our capabilities and see the end of the war more clearly in the Ukrainian victory. Of course, we all have to realize that the enemy will not be easier and easier. But Ukraine should become - and will become more powerful.
