Thank you, António, Ursula, and all the leaders who support Ukraine and are ready to work with us to make both Ukraine and the EU stronger.
After the changes in Hungary, there is clearly a new opportunity to strengthen relations both within the EU and between the EU and Ukraine. For Ukraine, being a good neighbor has never been just words. And now we are ready to work as closely as possible, and with mutual respect, with every one of our EU neighbors.
I want to thank our neighbors – Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia – and all other EU countries, and assure you that Ukraine is committed to mutual respect.

Large Ukrainian drone attack on Crimea right now.🔥🔥
Explosions were heard in Saky, Oktyabrskoye, and Simferopol.
Ukraine's attacks will continue until the area is completely liberated.
Because Crimea was, is and will be Ukraine 🇺🇦🫡
Regarding Belarus.
When the full-scale war began, we were hit by missiles that killed children and adults. And Alexander Lukashenko knows this. A large number of missiles were launched from Belarus. Back then, he called, apologized, and said it was out of his control. I don’t believe that, but that’s what he’s already said. Now, Russia will keep pushing him further into this war. Now, he understands that Ukraine will respond.
There’s no need for extra words. There are retransmitters on his communication towers. On his territory, along the two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. He should remove that equipment. I think a week is enough for him to do that. Because right now, every day, our civilians are being killed, and children are being wounded as a result of this. If he doesn’t do it, we will.
The same goes for his oil-refining sector, for example. We are doing everything so that the Russians don’t have the ability to sell oil and supply diesel and fuel to their army. Today, Belarus is one of the key suppliers for the Russian army. Can this be stopped? I’m sure it’s within his power. And he is the one who controls it.
As for the drone strike on a bus with Belarusian children, everyone has already acknowledged it – international experts and, it seems, even the Russians are admitting it wasn’t our strike. The Russians will resort to all sorts of provocations to drag the Belarusian people into this war. This is one of them.

Today’s russian strike on Pavlohrad killed little Alina.
Her home was destroyed. Her mother was injured, her father is in critical condition.
Rest in peace, Alina 🕯️
People ask: “What will happen to Ukraine now that Ukraine is bombing Moscow?”
Let’s think.
Will Russia invade us?
Bomb our cities with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles drones?
Destroy our civilian critical infrastructure?
Occupy our towns?
Rape and kill civilians, kids, women?
Kidnap Ukrainian children and train them as soldiers ?
Set up filtration camps?
Torture and starve POWs?
Use chemical weapons on the front line?
Wait.
Russia has already done all of this.
My father walked out on my family when I was a kid. My mother raised us. I made my own way, joined the Marines, and built a life he had no part in. There are thousands of American boys doing the same thing right now, growing up determined to be better men than the fathers who left them.
Kari Lake decided to take the hardest part of my family’s life and turn it into a weapon. She has claimed for years that I'm controlled by the cartels because of my father.
I am not ashamed of where I come from. Kari Lake should be ashamed of what she is willing to say to get ahead. Thank you to @SenTimKaine for calling it how it is.
Today, the Ukrainian army is effectively the main army in Europe that can deter and resist large-scale aggression over a long period of time. And after this war, this must remain the case.
The existence of such an army should help prevent any future aggressive moves by Putin. That is why we need to start thinking now about how to provide the funding the Ukrainian army will need in the years ahead.
If we want Europe to have the strongest army, one that can truly respond to any threat, this is only possible with long-term cooperation with Ukraine and long-term support for the Ukrainian army. This is a realistic new security architecture for Europe.
