During a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the following statements:<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fUkraine is grateful for France\u2019s steadfast, significant, and crucial support, and for the new \u20ac2 billion defense package, which includes Mirage missiles, ammunition, anti-tank systems, armored vehicles, investments in the defense industry, and other military equipment.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fFrench Mirage 2000 fighter jets have proven to be highly effective in Ukrainian airspace. Ukraine plans to increase the number of Mirage 2000 aircraft in its arsenal.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThis is a pivotal moment in history \u2014 the way the current generation of European leaders shapes the continent\u2019s security architecture will define it for generations to come.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fmoscow is attempting to insert additional conditions into the Black Sea ceasefire agreement, which was initially proposed without any preconditions.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fKyiv hopes that the U.S. will ensure the unconditional nature of the Black Sea ceasefire. A proposal for unconditional silence has been on the table since March 11. So far, russia has rejected it \u2014 a clear signal that russia seeks to prolong the war.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fSanctions against russia must remain in place and be strengthened for as long as the occupation continues. Every russian strike and effort to drag out the war must be met with a response. moscow understands no language other than the language of force.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fNow is not the time to ease pressure on russia. More strong joint steps are needed to achieve a just and lasting peace.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fUkraine is committed to strong diplomacy, which is rooted in the strength of our nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
