President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, announcing strong decisions for the defense of our country during the "Ramstein" meeting and sharing good news from a group of our rescuers working in Turkey.

Wishing health to all dear Ukrainians!

Today is another "Ramstein" day, a meeting of Ukraine's military support group. 54 partner countries. The ninth such meeting. And we have more strong decisions for the defense of our country and for strengthening our soldiers.

More PPOs confirmed by partners. More tanks confirmed. More artillery and ammunition confirmed. More training of our military confirmed. As was heard today, Ukraine must be successful. And here we agree: success is necessary.

Of course, not everything about "Ramstein" can be publicly announced. A significant part of the agreements and discussions should remain behind closed doors in the Contact Group meetings. But I can confidently say that the basic trends remain unchanged. Ukraine and its partners are doing everything together to make the state-terrorist lose. And to make it happen faster.

We see now that the Kremlin is trying to drain all possible aggression potential from Russia. They are rushing. Because they know that the world is still stronger, but needs time to gather its strength.

Therefore, speed is very important. Speed in everything. In decision-making. In implementing decisions. In supply. In training. Speed saves lives and brings back security.

And I thank all our partners who realize that speed is important. Thank you to all our American friends for leadership, systematic coordination of "Ramstein" meetings, as well as personal participation in the meetings with Mr. Lloyd Austin, US Secretary of Defense, and Mr. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Today I met with Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs who is on a visit to Ukraine. The topic of our conversation was also, so to say, "Ramstein". Mainly - military support, new weapons for Ukraine, new sanctions against Russia. Thanked Canada for the already provided support. And we discussed in detail with Ms. Minister what is needed now to continue driving out the occupier from Ukrainian land.

We are actively preparing for foreign policy events in the second half of this week. As "Ramstein" set the tone for the week, so we will proceed. Adding results for Ukraine every day.

There is very good news today from a group of our rescuers working in Turkey. On the ninth day after the devastating earthquake, they managed to rescue a woman. Our DSNSS officers pulled her out from under the rubble and handed her over to medical personnel.

This is very important - not to lose hope under any circumstances and continue fighting for life. Thank you to all our rescue team!

And, of course, today, as every day, I am in touch with our military, commanders. Had several meetings. The situation at the front, especially in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, remains extremely difficult. This is literally fighting for every meter of Ukrainian land.

We must understand the significance of these battles. Every meter won there - this is the defense of our entire country. Every day that our heroes hold out in Bakhmut, Vuhledar, Mariinka and other cities and communities of Donbas - this shortens Russian aggression by weeks. This is where unprecedented destruction of Russian potential is happening now. Everything the enemy loses on our Donbas, he will never be able to recover. And it is precisely that potential of Russian aggression from which the leadership of the state-terrorist expected the destruction of all of our Ukraine.

Glory to everyone who is fighting for Ukraine!

We are doing everything we can to give our soldiers more weapons, longer-range weapons and greater power for the offensive that we are preparing.

And... today - Valentine's Day. I sincerely congratulate all lovers with this holiday, with this day. And I congratulate everyone who loves Ukraine!

Together we will win!

Glory to Ukraine!">
