Putin is preparing not for negotiations, not for the onset of peace, but for the continuation of the war, and not only against Ukraine - the Presidential address

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Today in Ukraine a new head of the NATO Military Committee. His first trip is our country, just to support Ukrainians. We appreciate it. We have discussed today preparation for Ramstin and the needs of our defense - our joint defense. Now we know - our intelligence tells us - that the Russians create new divisions, new military industries are developing. Obviously, their cooperation with North Korea will continue to expand.

Unfortunately, modern technologies - the technologies of the Moscow war are spreading to the region, including drone technologies. And this means a simple thing: Putin is preparing not for negotiations, not for peace, but for the continuation of the war, and not only against us, against Ukraine. They now increase their army by more than 100,000 soldiers. All partners should know about it and should see it.

We are ready to transmit relevant information, and appropriate communication is already under the line of intelligence. We need to see together what are the threats and what our opposition tools are. A clear understanding is needed: here, in Europe, every country will have to strengthen the defense, and the goal of 5% of GDP for defense will not disappear from the agenda.

Also this week I want to thank Britain for the funds declared to support our stability, and not only defense stability, but also energy stability, economic and social. An important step in the development of our military aviation is the France's fighters from France, as we agreed with President Macron. Thank you, Emmanuel! Already work for our protection. There will be an increase in this direction. There are also F-16 replenishment-new planes from the Netherlands. Thank you very much! And one more.
