President Zelenskyy: We are starting a new diplomatic week

“Today, I also want to express my special gratitude to all our Ukrainian communities who do not forget that the key priority is to defend against the occupier and support our state in all, absolutely all, processes,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Dec. 7.

I wish you health!

We are starting a new diplomatic week right now – there will be consultations with European leaders. First and foremost, security issues, support for our resilience, and support packages for our defense. First and foremost, air defense and long-term funding for Ukraine. Of course, we will discuss a shared vision and common positions in the negotiations.

In recent days, representatives of Ukraine held substantive discussions with envoys of the U.S. President – and now NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov and Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov are en route to Europe. I expect detailed information from them on everything that was said to the American envoys in Moscow, and on the nuances the Americans are prepared to modify in negotiations with us and with the Russians.
