President Zelenskyy: A just peace requires respecting Ukraine’s interests

“It’s also important that there’s constructive internal work in Ukraine. I thank the parliamentarians for voting on the state budget for next year,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Dec. 3.

I wish you good health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today, I received regular reports from our team on work with partners. In Brussels today are Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, and the Chief of the General Staff. We’re working at all levels to secure support – defensive, diplomatic, and support for our resilience. Andrii Sybiha‎ represented our state today in the Ukraine–NATO Council format. Rustem Umerov and Andrii Hnatov communicated with the national security teams of European leaders. The most important thing is Europe’s effective involvement in our defense, and also in guaranteeing security after this war. Activity is at its maximum to bring this war to an end. And from our side, from Ukraine’s state, there will be no obstacles or delays.
