President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, informing about increased European support for our accession to the EU and NATO as well as new defense packages from Germany and France.

"I wish health to all dear Ukrainians!

Three long days - and our soldiers, our country are becoming stronger. I am convinced - much stronger.

Returning home with new defense packages: more new, more powerful weapons for the front, more protection for our people. More political support.

Italy - good talks with Giorgia, Ms Prime Minister. Meeting with the Pontiff, quite encouraging. Meeting with the President of Italy.

Germany. Mr President Steinmeier, meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz - especially meaningful for our defense.

Apart from Berlin, we also visited Aachen. I was at a military base, inspected the 'Leopards', inspected the 'Marders', thanked our soldiers training on German equipment.

On behalf of and in honor of the Ukrainian people, received a heavy European award named after Charlemagne in Aachen. For the first time in the hall where laureates are honored, the Ukrainian language sounded - in a speech. The Ukrainian will be one of the official languages of the European Union, I am convinced.

France - meeting with Mr President Macron, lengthy and beneficial talks. There is a new military package. Powerful. New political agreements.

United Kingdom - meeting with Rishi, Mr Prime Minister Sunak. Defense and very important British leadership in military coalitions.

Before the international events planned for the near future, we coordinated our positions. Before G7, the summit in Vilnius.

At all meetings, we discussed our peace formula, and now there is more readiness from partners to follow the Ukrainian formula. There is more support for our accession to the EU, more understanding that Ukraine's entry into NATO will be inevitable.

Thank you Italy for help in protecting the lives of our people - from air defense to full-fledged reconstruction of Ukraine after combat operations.

Thank you Germany for the largest defense package - 2 billion 700 million euros. 'Iris' systems of various modifications, rockets for them - a lot, artillery, ammunition, armored vehicles...

In addition, Germany supports our country long-term - there are 11 billion euros solely for defense. Plus Germany participates in the European Peace Fund, which strengthens our protection.

Thank you France for new opportunities for our soldiers against Russian terror, and now it is not yet time to talk about details. Thank you for additional equipment, for additional armored vehicles. For help in consolidating partners.

Thank you the United Kingdom for an agreement on training our pilots. Creating a coalition for training pilots on modern Western aircraft. The UK - yes, Poland - yes, and I am convinced - France will join, other partners too. We continue to work on a coalition of destroyers, moving actively. Of course, thank you the UK for long-range possibilities for our soldiers, for range.

So, the main results over these days - new weapons for Ukraine, respect towards Ukrainians, our victory has become closer.

And we will add more support! I know this. I believe in it.

Glory to all who fight for our country! Glory to all who help! Glory to all who train our fighters!

Glory to Ukraine!"
