President Zelenskyy: We expect more diplomatic developments for Ukraine

“Of course, the key priority is to support our positions in the most challenging areas, to back our warriors, to boost domestic arms production, especially drones,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on October 27.

Dear Ukrainians!

Today, we’re preparing to work with our partners throughout the week. In particular, with our European partners – those who support us in a very principled and effective way. We have created this new format of cooperation – Ukraine plus the countries of Northern Europe. And within this format, we are constantly increasing our interaction – defensive, political, and economic. At the core of it all is our value-based interaction, our vision of life in Europe, and the kind of Europe we want to pass on to future generations: definitely safe, definitely democratic, and definitely capable of protecting the interests of Europeans. I am grateful to each country in this format: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland. Thank you. We expect all partners to support the Victory Plan. They all equally understand the importance of being decisive. They recognize the need to create problems for the aggressor, so that Russia loses its capacity to make life worse for the world. We’ll be discussing new decisive steps with the Nordics that could increase pressure on Russia for this war and in the name of fair diplomacy. So, we expect more diplomatic developments and new support packages for Ukraine in the coming week.
