Today, we’re launching a Joint Declaration of Support for Ukrainian Recovery and Reconstruction to make it clear: We stand with Ukraine now and in the future.

We cannot grow weary. We cannot look away. And we will not let up on our support for Ukraine, not until Ukraine wins a just and durable peace.

I know many look at the world today and see difficulties and react with despair, but I do not. I won’t.

But my message to you tonight is this: We must never, ever, ever bow, bend, yield, or give up.

One year ago, in Hanoi, we began a new era of relations with Vietnam and the United States, and we elevated our partnership to the highest level as possible.

He looked at me; he said, 'Can you define America for me?'... I said, 'Yes. In one word: possibilities—possibilities.'

We believe anything is possible. No, I really mean it. Remember, nothing is impossible.

We can stop the spread of disease and dangerous weapons alike.

Thank you. And, again, welcome. And welcome to all of you.

Well, General Secretary, it’s great to see you again, have you here in the United States. We appreciate it.

Tomorrow, I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military.

For 944 days, the Ukrainian people have stood unwavering, unbroken, and unbowed.

We know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield.

Since then, I’ve been very proud of the progress we’ve made.

As I said yesterday at the United Nations, I recognize the challenges the world faces: Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, war, hunger, poverty, climate change.

It’s also about what Ukrainians do to make the most of a free and independent future, of which so many have sacrificed so much.

I was first elected to the United States Senate when I was 29 years old, 280 years ago. (Laughter.)

The world needs to stop arming the generals, to speak with one voice and tell them: Stop tearing your country apart. Stop blocking aid to the Sudanese people.

Ukraine’s defense industry, forged in the fire, is six times larger than it was a year ago.

With this declaration, over 30 countries and the European Union have made important commitments.
