Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.
The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world���s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.
Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.
I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.
Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.

Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.
Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that.
Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia.
Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state.
Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace.
Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security.
Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century.
And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century.
I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression.
We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland.
I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve.
Glory to Ukraine!
Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.
Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.
What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

Hoy me he reunido con @GiorgiaMeloni en Bruselas.
España e Italia trabajamos juntos por una Europa fuerte, ambiciosa y con peso propio en el escenario global, ante los grandes desafíos de nuestro tiempo.
Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region – for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit. Targets were also struck in the Rostov region and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is a fully justified response to Russian attacks on our cities and communities, and another important result of our warriors’ work against facilities that sustain Russia’s war machine. I thank our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their coordinated efforts – the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, Defense Intelligence, and our missile brigade for their precision.
In recent days, all of our partners have noted the precision and effectiveness of our mid-range strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time the war ended, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.
Ukraine can continue to count on the Netherlands. I reaffirmed this in my conversation today with Ukrainian defence minister @FedorovMykhailo. With a new support package, the Netherlands is continuing to provide the Ukrainian people with tangible assistance in their fight for a safe, secure and free Ukraine. That is also very important for the rest of Europe. And as Ukraine’s recent successes have shown: this support is working.
As part of President @ZelenskyyUa’s visit to the G7 summit in Èvian, I was pleased to meet with @SecRubio to exchange views ahead of the anticipated contacts between our leaders.
I congratulated Secretary Rubio on the US deal with Iran. We hope it will bring security to the region and stability for energy markets.
I reiterated President Zelenskyy’s anticipation that this deal creates an opportunity to reenergize U.S.-led peace efforts aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.
We discussed ways to advance the peace process. I shared Ukraine’s view of the steps needed to finally bring Putin to the negotiating table.
I informed my counterpart about Putin’s strikes on Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and other civilian, cultural, and historic sites. They demonstrate that Moscow wages a war against faith, heritage, and Ukrainian identity.
I also updated Secretary Rubio on Ukraine’s recent successes on the battlefield and in long-range sanctions against Russia.
We see a growing momentum toward peace through strength, and we rely on robust US leadership and engagement.
I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with @MarkJCarney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made.
We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery.
I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.
In Évian, I congratulated @POTUS on his agreement with Iran.
We both agree that it should mean a definitive end to Iran's nuclear programme.
The Strait will reopen.
Oil prices are falling.
And that's how diplomacy delivers.
At the G7 Summit in France, substantive meetings have already began. Dear Emmanuel, Mr. President, thank you! The schedule for the day is packed. The key focus is to strengthen air defense for Ukraine and advance diplomacy, to make Russia end its war. Peace is needed.
@EmmanuelMacron
Russia launched a "Geran-2" drone strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
The "Geran-2" is a Russian version of the Iranian Shahed drone. The SSU has established that some of its components were manufactured in the "Alabuga" special economic zone.
As a result of the attack, the cathedral's roofing, domes, walls, and glass windows were damaged.
The strike has been classified as a war crime.
Russia will be held accountable for all its strikes.
