Address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, October 19, 2023

“I am grateful to the United States for leadership that helps unite the world in protecting lives,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

I have just finished a call with U.S. President Biden. As always, a meaningful conversation – a conversation of allies. A strong signal of support – as much as needed for the victory.

I am grateful to President Biden, to the Congress – both parties – and to the American people for their strong support and leadership – leadership that helps unite the world to protect lives and the rules-based international order. Ukrainians know how important strong unity is in defending against terror, against aggression. Unity here in our country. Unity in partner countries, particularly in America. Unity of the world.

We discussed further joint steps in the defense of freedom. We discussed defense support, including the fact that ATACMS can help us speed up the liberation of Ukraine from the occupier. Of course, we also talked about preserving assistance to Ukraine next year – about a significant support package for our country.

America will support the implementation of the Peace Formula, and I have informed President Biden of the next major international meeting on the Peace Formula, which will take place in Malta this month.
