"I want to thank our European partners today: there was a meeting at the level of national security advisors. We are gradually advancing the issue of producing anti-ballistic systems in Europe – we are forming an anti-ballistic coalition.

He stressed that Ukraine's positions "at the front," in "long-range sanctions," and in cooperation with international partners are currently "the strongest in years," stressing the need to maintain the achieved level and further strengthen Ukraine's defense and foreign policy positions.

"There are no victories of one alone, and there is no resilience of one alone. We must reach the main goal, and this is our common goal, which we will not give up. We will not give up our land, our sovereignty. I am grateful to all Ukrainians who are together on this path. Ukraine must withstand the war, defend its independence, and guarantee security for its people. This will definitely happen," Zelensky concluded.
