Main messages of Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the ‘Ramstein’ meeting
Main points of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the opening of the meeting of the Contact Group in the “Ramstein” format:
◽️The US President is very clear about increasing pressure on russia to end this war. This is also the shared position of all G7 leaders.
◽️Ukraine has the tools, and they are strong enough to put russia on a path where diplomacy becomes the only choice.
◽️putin relies on the last thing — constant missile strikes. He has ballistic missiles, so we need anti-ballistic capabilities.
◽️Ukraine and Germany are taking a very important joint step. We have certain technologies, and our defense ministers have already signed an agreement to combine these capabilities.
◽️Ukraine is very grateful to the countries that decided to make new contributions to the PURL program.
◽️russia struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra with drones, which is one of the greatest Christian shrines not only for Ukraine. Attacking such places is a crime against humanity.
◽️Ukraine is preparing responses to russian attacks. Today, one of these responses can be seen in the moscow region.
◽️russia is already facing a fuel shortage and a serious drop in budget revenues. Our mid-strikes seriously disrupt russian military logistics, but putin does not stop this war, so pressure must increase.
◽️russia pays for continuing the war with losses — at least 30,000 soldiers killed and seriously wounded, and this number will grow.
◽️Today, the Ukrainian army is the main army in Europe that can hold back and resist full-scale aggression for a long time. After this war, it should continue to be so.
◽️If we want Europe to have the strongest army, it is only possible through long-term cooperation with Ukraine.
