President Zelenskyy: Peace is always a common cause

“General Kellogg – a meeting that restores hope. We need strong agreements with the United States – agreements that will truly work,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Feb. 20.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today has been a very long day.

I held a Staff meeting, where I received briefings from the military on our positions at the front, the situation with supplies – contracts, weapons packages. The work continues, and I am grateful to every one of our partners who understands the need for strong positions – both on the frontline to protect our people and in diplomacy, where both strength and truth matter. There were reports on deep-strike operations against Russian military facilities and infrastructure supporting the war. For every two dollars invested in our long-range capabilities, we already ensure almost ten dollars in Russian losses. This is the dynamic we need – Russia must feel the cost of war to truly want peace. Additionally, the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service presented important reports today.
