We clearly understand what they are preparing in Russia; We and all our partners should have a clear response to Russian operations - the President of Ukraine's appeal

There is a new defense support package today. We spoke in great detail about the need to strengthen the air defense. They also talked about defense production - about joint projects on weapons, on shells. This is what our states can do much more. And we agreed today that the teams of our states will work together no less actively as before. It is important to say separately that Finland clearly understands the need to integrate Ukraine into the European Union and NATO.

I thank you for your willingness to help, to give arguments in favor of Invitation for Ukraine - an invitation to NATO. In general, we can say that the whole society of Finland, all political forces equally understand the importance of our protection in this war for our region, for the whole of Europe. And we must not waste time, interact more, do more together, persuade other partners to be more active.

This is all about our joint security, the protection of millions of people from Russian murderers. He spent several telephone conversations today. The first is Japan Prime Minister Kishida. I thanked for the comprehensive help - both for our safety and for our economic stability. And political support. Japan is among global leaders in helping Ukraine and in the protection of international law. I informed Mr.

Prime Minister about the situation in the battlefield, about her prospects, about our needs, including everything that will help in reflecting Russian assaults. It was a fruitful conversation. And after the recent decisions of the Government of Japan, Ukraine's total support from Japan has already over $ 12 billion. Today he spoke with the new Prime Minister of Portugal. They coordinated our work and, in particular, instructed the teams to start a security agreement between our countries.

Of course, we will continue to implement the available arrangements. We gradually plan our work with partners for the coming months - both May and June should become a time of activity for the sake of Ukraine, in order to achieve our tasks in this war. We clearly understand what they are preparing in Russia, what they want, which will collect soldiers into their army. And we, all of us, our partners, should have a strong response to Russian operations-any Russian operations.

We have to win in this war. This is a historical chance of Ukraine - to break Russian revenge, and we have this chance to take advantage. For the sake of reliable safety for our children. Today, the detailed report of the head of Alexander Sirsky was continued. Our actions in key directions. Protection of our positions. Strengthening our positions. Our pressure on Russian positions.
