We often hear that you are comfortable with this war. Of course, not in those cases when it comes to the security of your residence in Valdai or your parade in Moscow. Your own life is valuable to you.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve.
The right to choose its own security arrangements and alliances must be fully respected.
They can change the direction [of Ukrainian drones] to divide us in Europe, to [put] pressure on Europe, Finland, our Baltic friends; and then to use it like rhetoric that 'Ukraine attacked'. And this is what they wanted from the very…
All of our partners now note that Ukraine’s positions on the front are significantly stronger, and so our diplomacy, which we are working to step up, must proceed from that.
There are no obstacles and it is important that this progress is made, that the clusters are opened, and that the Russians also see this. See that Europe keeps its promises and does not surrender its European interests.
Ukraine has the political will for this; we will see whether Russia does. So far, they have not demonstrated it.
Sometimes little, small mistakes can break big friendship or huge contacts.

These are concrete things to strengthen our joint defence and co-production, and, importantly, this also means Ukraine's expertise and experience helping to strengthen our partners. This is exactly the kind of systemic cooperation we are…
In my opinion, for a ceasefire to happen, it would be better to have a meeting at the level of leaders. Who should take part? Certainly Ukraine, Russia and definitely Europe. Ideally, Europe and the United States should be there. Why…
We did this in the Middle East and it worked. Now we are ready to do the same with our close partners in Europe. We are prepared for this.
A drone deal is not only about selling or buying something. It also covers important issues such as the ones we are discussing now. Therefore, we are ready at any time to send our expert teams, and we are already doing this and will…
I understand what Russia is doing — they want to escalate relations within the European Union when we respond to Russian attacks.
We are working with and have experience with countries in the Middle East, where we have already sent our teams who have trained personnel.
During our responses to various Russian attacks, if a Russian drone appears in the skies over Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia, it is clear why. And when a Ukrainian drone appears, we understand that they can alter the course of our drones…
During one month, I sent several letters with different goals to different institutions beginning from the EU, United States, White House and Congress and also Putin. I had different goals. For example, the United States: I really wanted…
We thank Latvia for all the support it has provided to Ukraine throughout this war.
We can do it as part of our fast-track procedure, our drone deal, which is not only about purchasing drones but also other important matters that we discussed today.
We are ready to send to all these countries, where we see even potential risks, our expert groups to teach, to train and to defend such cases. This [is] really what we can do. The best way to stop Russia, to stop this war. But what we can…
