"I am grateful to the United States for coordinating this format and working with Ukraine since the beginning of the war. I appreciate Germany's contribution to help our country, and I thank all the countries with which we have signed bilateral security agreements. There are 27 such countries, and this is a contribution to the security not only of Ukraine, but also of these countries," the President noted.
The President of Ukraine also drew attention to the situation in the Baltic Sea, Africa and incidents in Europe. He emphasized that it makes us think about security.
"Russia is carrying out aggression and sabotage against the entire Western world. Only by uniting we can resist," the Head of State emphasized.
Zelenskyy added that he is doing everything to end Russia's war against Ukraine with dignity this year. The President emphasized that he could count on the support of his allies.
"Ending this war is our common goal. But Putin is doubling down on aggression — he is hiring people from the DPRK," Zelenskyy reminded.
The Head of State added that the promises made at the last NATO summit had been fully implemented.
"We are grateful for the air defense systems that have been given to us, but we also need the ones that have been promised to us. You saw what happened yesterday in Zaporizhzhia. Russian terror must be stopped," the president emphasized.
He also added that Putin wants to completely destroy Ukraine. The goal of the leadership of our country is to find tools to prevent this from happening. According to the President, one of these tools is the deployment of partner contingents on the territory of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy also added that the Armed Forces' operation in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation showed the whole world that Russia was bluffing and unable to implement its threats.
"Kursk region. Russian threats turned out to be a bluff after the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the Kursk region and carried out a number of successful operations there," Zelenskyy summarized.
The President also emphasized the importance of global security around the world. It is extremely important for every country to be secure in its sovereignty.
"No matter what's happening in the world, everyone wants to know that their country won't be wiped off the map. It used to depend on a handful of big capitals, but now it depends on all of us — on how we work together, how willing we are to take responsibility for our future, and how well we can convince our partners to support us," the Head of State noted.
Earlier we reported that Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Germany today. The President of Ukraine took part in the 25th meeting of the Ramstein.
Zelenskyy also responded to a petition from Ukrainians to cancel the payment of one thousand hryvnias under the Winter eSupport program. The President said that this should help support Ukrainian families in the winter.
