President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the nation, informing about preparations for powerful things to strengthen our state and about important diplomatic successes this week.

"I wish good health, dear Ukrainians!

Today is Friday, but such a week that early morning it's time to sum up the working days.

We are preparing powerful things for Ukraine, strengthening our state and our soldiers.

Today and generally this week exactly such a task - the main one. Weapons for our soldiers. New opportunities for our defense. New support packages from our partners.

We are doing everything so that before Independence Day of our state we could say that Ukraine has taken another step towards becoming one of the strongest countries in the world.

Our team is working particularly intensively now.

News for Ukraine you will see. We are preparing them with neighbors in the EU. And also - in those regions of Europe where our cooperation with states has been insufficient so far. And, of course, with such European partners with whom we have already shown several times that European leadership in defending freedom has global significance.

By the way, important diplomatic successes we already have this week.

Statement of the Seven on security guarantees for Ukraine: as of today, 18 states have joined.

Peace Formula: already 63 diplomatic missions are working towards implementing the points of the formula. Very important that the Peace Formula is gradually uniting the world majority based on our respect for international law and the UN Charter.

European Union: we are trying to the maximum extent possible so that Ukraine this year will be ready to open negotiations about membership.

Today I started my day with a substantive meeting. As always, front - first question. Military reports. Situation at the frontline. Reports by officials on weapons and ammunition supply. Report by the Security Service of Ukraine regarding "war commissars" and collaborators. Separately listened to the report by border guards, MFA, intelligence regarding the attitude towards our citizens - refugees who are in different countries as well as regarding visa regimes. That, with what real citizens of Ukraine face in terms of visas.

Leadership for directions received respective tasks. Rights of Ukrainian citizens must be guaranteed.

And one more thing. Next week - this is the time of important events for Ukraine. We will not lose any day of preparation. We will not miss any result for Ukraine. Every day we work. Every day we add strength to Ukraine. And I thank everyone who acts in the same way! For Ukraine - only strength!

Glory to all our soldiers! Glory to every one who works towards victory! For freedom and independence!

Glory to Ukraine!"
