Congratulations on Ukraine’s Armed Forces Day! 🇺🇦

Today, I spoke with the leaders of Germany, Olaf Scholz, the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, and Bulgaria, Nikolai Denkov. We have reasons to be grateful to our partners. All of our agreements are being put into action. We also coordinated new joint steps to protect our people, our Europe, and the international order. I am grateful to everyone around the world who supports Ukraine!

A very good, powerful meeting with Mr. President Biden @POTUS. The meeting was at least twice as long as planned, and it was as meaningful as it needed to be. If the protocol had not stopped the meeting, we would have talked even longer. All the topics. Long-term support. Weapons. Politics. @NATO. We clearly see how to end this war with our common victory. Thank you, Mr. President! #UkraineNATO33 🇺🇦🇺🇸

My special gratitude on this Memorial day goes to all Americans of different times – sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, who became the warriors and whose strength turned into the strength of freedom and who were destined to show to the world that freedom will always shine bright on the hill. Let our victory, of the Ukrainian warriors, make this light shine brighter! Your freedom stood, thanks to those who fought for it. Our freedom will stand, thanks to those who are fighting for it. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

We are doing everything we can to reduce the time until new and powerful aircraft with Ukrainian pilots emerge in the Ukrainian skies. It is clear that this global step will allow us to expand our defense capabilities. Because it is only with powerful aircraft that an air defense system can be complete. On the other hand, the first 🇺🇦 F-16 will be one of the strongest signals from the world that Russia will only lose because of its own aggression, becoming weaker and more isolated. This will be a signal that Russian terror has lost, and our world, which is based on respect for independent nations and the right of peoples to choose their own path, has endured.

Grateful to @POTUS & 🇺🇸 people for providing 🇺🇦 with a powerful $1.2 billion defense assistance package. We appreciate this sign of solidarity with 🇺🇦 shown on a symbolic day for us – Europe Day & the Day of Victory over Nazism in WW2. Together we're moving towards a new victory!
