This week we managed to significantly increase the determination of partners to increase the supply of weapons for Ukraine - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

In general, thanks to this week, we have been able to significantly increase the determination of partners' determination to increase weapons for Ukraine. And as much as possible to ensure that this is reflected in the decisions of the next meeting in the Ramstein format, the meeting of the Ministers of Defense, which will take place in the second half of January. We are also preparing for Ukraine's participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos.

This year, the traditional economic topics of the forum will be obviously inferior to security issues. And it is important for us to have an effective and clear Ukrainian answer for every world of safety. So be it. He participated in a special solemn meeting of the Lithuanian Seimas. Lithuania celebrated the Day of the Defenders of Freedom - the anniversary of the January events of 1991, when people defended their state's independence from the efforts of Moscow at the time.

And it was a very symbolic meeting today, very emotional. I thanked our Lithuanian brothers for all their actions in support of Ukraine and our struggle for freedom and for all their words about the heroism of our people who sounded and sound in Lithuania. Today, one of our greatest achievements was very clearly felt after February 24, namely: the context of European freedom, the context of the integrity of the European association is simply impossible to imagine without Ukraine now.

The fullness of Europe is, in particular, the power of integration with Ukraine. Let's do everything to realize this in specific decisions of the European community. Of course, today, as well as every day, is constantly in touch with our commander, with intelligence executives, special services. The heavy battle for Donetsk is ongoing, the battle for Bakhmut and Soledar, for the Kreminna, for other cities and villages of the east of our country continues.

Although the enemy concentrated its greatest forces in this direction, our warriors - the Armed Forces of Ukraine, all the forces of defense and security - protect the state.

I thank every soldier, sergeant, brigade officer and other army units that bravely and steadily perform the tasks! I thank the fighters of Kraken for decisive action to destroy the enemy in the Soledar area! I thank the soldiers of the International Legion of the GUR MA and the Shaman unit, who are courageously defending Bakhmut! 324 days of a full -scale war, but as everything has changed for Russia . . . They are already biting among themselves for who to attribute some tactical advancement.

This is a clear signal of failure for the enemy. And this is another incentive for us all to press more on the occupier and to cause greater losses. Thank you to everyone who provides it on both the front and all of our other fronts. That is why today I also want to mention the employees of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. Those who work are usually completely unnoticed. And whom they talk about.

But they actually bring very significant decisions to partners for Ukraine, for our defenders. Thank you for it! I thank all the personnel of the Security Service of Ukraine, whose results in the struggle in particular against collaborators and saboteurs can see society. Every step of the state in national protection is carefully prepared, and this gives us legitimate and fair results. Gives us a real strengthening of our independence, all its aspects.
