It’s a fight for democracy. It’s a fight for rule of law, which has been breached, the international rule of law which has been violated by Russia.

We need all the weapons and equipment that we can get in order to stop them and in order to get them out from our country. And this MRLs, you know, the HIMARS that we announced today is exactly what we need for this phase of the battle.

We will do everything possible on the battlefield, but also diplomatically, to restore our territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Ukraine certainly is not only ready, but shows for the past 74 days that we bravely defend those values and defend our homes.

Ukraine has to be whole within the internationally recognized borders.

We have to remember that 95 percent of Mariupol is destroyed, that tens of thousand civilians died in Mariupol, were killed by Russians.

The sharing of information between Ukraine and the West with all of our friends and allies is at the level which we never had before.

I hope that then it will be evident for all -- to all Russians what they are doing in Ukraine, that it's an aggressive war.

I think the sharing of information between Ukraine and the West with all of our friends and allies is at the level which we never had before.

We will never recognize it. The whole world will never recognize it.

The question is, are we all prepared, the civilized world, to do everything possible to defend our democracy and freedom?

We count on all of our friends and allies to help us with everything, so we can stop Russia while it's still in Ukraine.
