President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, speaking about another "Ramstein" meeting and defense news brought by our diplomatic marathon.

Wishing health to all dear Ukrainians!

Today is a day of "Ramstein" and defense news for Ukraine, which week after week brings our diplomatic marathon.

Not everything can be publicly announced regarding the talks in the "Ramstein" format. This is a closed discussion, and it should remain so. But generally, one can conclude that today's "Ramstein" will strengthen our resilience.

Partners are principled in their approach—they will support Ukraine for as long as necessary to ensure our victory.

Yes, we still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it clearer that a decision regarding tanks must be made.

I addressed today's participants at Ramstein, our contact group on defense matters. And I thank all partners who clearly supported Ukraine's position in the discussions that took place.

Overall, over the week we managed to achieve several things. This is what our diplomatic marathon has brought since my visit to Washington.

Calls and negotiations—every day. Public and private ones. We significantly strengthened our artillery fist. Very importantly—with both guns and ammunition.

There are good results regarding armored vehicles—we added several hundred combat vehicles to our arsenal.

Significant results in terms of rockets for rocket systems and for our air defense units.

One of the largest defense packages announced by the United States. And I thank President Biden, all congressmen, and all Americans who know that freedom cannot lose.

Thank you to our European allies—all countries that this week made further steps in support of our common security.

Denmark, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Finland, the Netherlands and others—thank you!

Thank you to Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau personally!

The only thing worth emphasizing in all this is time, delivery time. Every agreement must be fulfilled as quickly as possible—for our defense.

Next week, which we are already preparing for, will also bring its defense fruits.

Today I met with American senators who arrived in Kyiv. Mr. Graham, Mr. Blumenthal and Mr. Wyden—thank you for substantive talks.

It is important this year not to lose the dynamics of our cooperation—between Ukraine and the United States—in all areas. I am confident that it will be so.

The main theme, of course, is defense. Protection of our skies, tanks for Ukraine, long-range rockets needed by us to liberate our territory. Heard understanding of our needs.

Spoke with President Erdogan of Turkey. About the general situation on the battlefield in Ukraine and in our Black Sea region. How to implement specific points of our peace formula beneficial for everyone in the world. I thank Mr. President for support of our security vision.

Today a ceremony took place awarding new ambassadors from partner countries who arrived in Ukraine. This is Finland, Cyprus, Austria and Libya.

Signed an order to honor our soldiers—153 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Fighters of the 30th, 53rd, 92nd, 93rd and 110th mechanized brigades, 56th motorized infantry brigade, 60th infantry brigade and 102nd territorial defense brigade.

I thank everyone who fights for Ukraine!

And one more thing.

Today is the Day of Memory of Defenders of Donetsk Airport. This was one of the most difficult and principled battles for Ukraine.

This was a battle in which modern Ukrainians found their eternal strength within themselves. What has preserved Ukraine, what manifests our steel spirit in extraordinary resilience and bravery of Ukrainians on the battlefield.

I thank everyone who held out then. I thank all those who helped back then.

Bright memory to all who gave their lives for Ukraine after February 24, after 2014 and at all times when our people defended themselves!

Glory to Ukraine!
