My team and I have embarked on an international trip focused on developing our new digitalisation and defence tech projects.

“We must not let Putin decide when Ukrainians can choose their government,”

“Democracy is not a peacetime luxury. Democracy is part of what we are fighting for today.”

Democracy is not a peacetime luxury.

Democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia.

We are fighting precisely because we want to remain a free European state.

This is complex. ... But complexity does not mean impossibility.

This is a new era and a new hope in the fight of free people for freedom and justice.

The war has changed completely.

Under this arrangement [with Syrskyi as commander], I personally do not know how the war can be won.

I don't need to be minister of defense just to be minister of defense. I need this position so we can win this war.

They treat people as a resource. And problems with that resource are already obvious.

Crimea is being isolated by drones.

Our task is to further increase pressure on the Russians behind the front lines and deprive them of the ability to conduct active assault operations.

This is a technological war and it's very important to understand how technology is developing and what we as a state can do to increase the number of drones.

One is to show the Russians, there's a real war, going on here, to fight against the Russian propaganda, to show them they're not as strong, as they're shown on TV.

They came here, to fight with us. They came here to kill us. They made their choice.
