  Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin@twitter.com and I met with students at the University of Copenhagen. We spoke about the terrible price of this war, which Russia unleashed against Ukraine; all our efforts to bring it to an end; preparations for winter; and the support we receive from our partners. Ukrainians are dozens of times stronger than Russians, but without support, it would be extremely difficult for us to defend our country, which is dozens of times smaller than Russia. By defending ourselve...

  Today, no country can be truly safe without strong drone systems and electronic warfare. This is not just about war. It’s about protecting borders. Keeping the seas safe. Protecting territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. For every country. It’s also about protecting difficult areas – mountains, forests, and places that are hard to control. And these technologies can also help save lives during natural disasters. Drones can do all of this. They can watch, protect, and stop criminals or...

  President Trump, our teams, and I spoke about how to end the war. This is the priority. We are ready. I’m not sure Russia is ready as of today, but anyhow, we spoke about an energy ceasefire. We are ready for an energy ceasefire if they do not attack our energy system, our electricity, heating, and water supply. This is our proposal. We are thankful to the American side. They will share it with the Russians. I don’t know the Russian position. Tomorrow, President Trump will have a meeting with t...

  I met with Japan’s Speaker of the House of Representatives, Eisuke Mori. This is a very important visit right now – at a time of constant and brutal Russian attacks. The Japanese delegation being in Kyiv despite all the threats is a true sign of respect – and we deeply appreciate it. And we will always be glad to welcome the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi, to Ukraine. We discussed energy support for Ukraine ahead of winter, as well as defense cooperation, including Japan’s participatio...

  I am grateful to Canada for our energy arrangements – this is important. We have concrete arrangements in the energy sector that will strengthen us both ahead of this winter and over the longer term. Canada is also ready to support our Ukrainian veterans. A Veterans Fund will be established, and I am grateful to Canada for its contribution to this fund – $40 million – which will support our programs for veterans. From the press conference with Mark Carney. (2/3)…

  Air defense remains a pressing issue for us, even though the skies over Kyiv are quiet today. But this is not a normal way to live – depending entirely on one person who started this war and continues to terrorize us. This should not be happening in the modern world. We have grown stronger on the battlefield, and this allows us to be more confident in future discussions with the American and Russian sides, whatever the format. We must do everything possible to ensure that trilateral meetings ta...

  It was from Russia that the first missiles and the first drones came, and they crossed our country’s border from Russian airspace. This escalation cannot and will not remain confined to Ukrainian territory. Today, we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, and everyone who still uses Russia’s key airports: Russian airspace is becoming completely unsafe. Ukraine does not threaten civilian aviation as such – not a single civilian aircraft. There will simply be drones...

  Putin’s puzzle is to put back together what has already fallen apart. The stronger and more independent the countries of the former Soviet Union are, the harder it will be for him. Ukraine is the key piece in this puzzle. He wants to break us. If he succeeded, dealing with the other countries of the post-Soviet time and space would be easier for him – with full respect for all the countries. Everyone understands this and deeply appreciates Ukraine’s contribution – paid for at such a high price,...

  I held a meeting on our deep-strike operations. Ukraine's plan for long-range sanctions against Russia over this war is being carried out in line with the set priorities. Our strike range has already exceeded 3,000 kilometers, and we continue to expand our ability to operate at even greater distances. The strategic depth of its rear areas, which for a long time was one of Russia's advantages, is now becoming a particular problem for Russia's political and military leadership, as the...

  We have comprehensive intelligence reports on Russia’s plans for the fall. Putin is preparing the conditions for expanding mobilization. His casualty figures speak for themselves. In less than seven months this year, 221,000 people have joined the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. During the same period, Russian casualties have amounted to nearly 225,500, among them 131,000 killed and almost 93,000 wounded. A significant share of those wounds are severe, as frontline medical care in Russia is c...

  Ukraine continues applying long‑range sanctions in response to Russian strikes. Last night, the warriors of our Defense Forces hit targets across different regions of Russia that are fueling this war. Once again, a plant in Kirov was struck – the one supplying components for the weapons Russia uses to attack our people. That’s about 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s border. Also hit were an oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, and a fuel and lubricants depot in Rostov‑on...

  All six Kalibr missiles were shot down last night, and 31 out of 33 cruise missiles were intercepted, meaning whenever the necessary capabilities are available, our warriors deliver truly high interception rates. That is the only explanation for the problem with ballistic missiles – insufficient number of interceptors. This is especially true for Patriots. We have proven to all our partners both the need, and more importantly, the possibility of providing greater protection of lives. It is simp...

  Intelligence once again indicates that the Russians are preparing a new massive strike. This is typical of Putin: right after America’s Independence Day and before the NATO Summit in Ankara. Russia wants to bring more evil and kill people. Please stay safe and heed any air raid alerts. Separately, to partners: any delay with missiles for our air defense – missiles for Patriots – means the loss of lives, and it encourages Russia to continue the war. The world has the necessary quantity and quali...

  We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it. We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it. Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump. We will see what comes of it. If Russia refus...

  There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in our skies, and there may be more waves of drone attacks throughout the day. Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly – deliberately targeting our railway infrastructure and civilian sites in our cities. Unfortunately, people were wounded and killed in these strikes; my condolences to all their families and loved ones. Yesterday, 14 regions came under attack throughout the day. Overnight, strikes targeted residential and railw...

  Russia itself chose to end the partial silence that had lasted for several days. Overnight, more than 200 attack drones were launched against Ukraine. Aerial bombs were used again on the front – more than 80 of them, and over 30 air strikes were recorded. Attack drones were shot down in the Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Kyiv and the region. Energy facilities, apartment buildings, and a kindergarten were damaged, and there was also a strike on an...

  Our contacts with the American side regarding guarantees for the implementation of the arrangements reached recently and announced by the President of the United States are ongoing. The prisoner exchange – 1,000 for 1,000 – is being prepared and must take place. The Americans assumed responsibility for these guarantees. Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters has handed over the lists for one thousand POWs to the Russian side. There was American mediation in reaching this arrangement on the exchan...

  Over the course of last night, the Russian army continued to strike Ukrainian positions. As of 7 a.m., more than 140 strikes on frontline positions had been recorded. During the night, the Russians carried out 10 assaults, the largest number of them in the Slovyansk sector. They also launched more than 850 strikes with drones of various types – FPVs, “Lancets,” and others. There were attack drones as well. The use of reconnaissance drones in the skies over frontline communities also did not stop...

  Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe marks the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century. A war after which there should have been only genuine peace. That was the dream back then, when the guns of World War II began to fall silent. That war turned our land into a battlefield of brutal fighting, abuse in occupied territory, and the mass destruction of people and life. The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II...

  As of today, there has been no official appeal to Ukraine regarding the modality of a cessation of hostilities that is being claimed on Russian social media. We believe that human life is far more valuable than any anniversary “celebration”. In this regard, we are announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5–6. In the time left until that moment, it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect. We will act reciprocally starting from that moment. It is time for Russia...

  I thank every state and leader who supported Ukraine’s proposal for a full ceasefire. Russia responded to it only with new strikes and attacks. Throughout the entire day, almost every hour, reports of strikes have been coming in from different regions of Ukraine. Ukraine will act in kind. Depending on the situation overnight and tomorrow, we will also determine our fully justified responses. Russia has received from us a clear proposal on silence of the guns and diplomacy – and knows how to con...

  An important step in relations with Hungary – today, the funds and valuables of Oschadbank that were seized by Hungarian special services in March of this year were returned. At the time, the Hungarian side unlawfully detained Ukrainian cash-in-transit officers. We brought our people back sooner, and now both the funds and the valuables are back on Ukrainian territory in full. I am grateful to Hungary for its constructive approach and civilized step. I thank everyone on Ukraine’s team who fought...

  In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and o...

  I thank every leader who understands how important it is for Ukraine to move toward EU membership. In this war, we defend not only ourselves, but also the European way of life. Whatever happens with Russia’s ambitions, one thing is clear – Europe together with Ukraine will be able to defend itself. And I believe as a result of both our defense of Europe and our reforms, Ukraine should gain full membership in the EU. Thank you to everyone working to speed it up. It is important that already in...

  Ukraine is now actively working with countries in the Middle East and the Gulf. We are preparing cooperation with the Caucasus and talking to other partners. And I want to stress – Ukraine offers not just drones, but a full defense system. For example, Arab states have strong air defense against missiles, and we help them set up protection against Shahed drones and at sea. This kind of integrated defense is what we need to build for Europe as well – to protect borders, coastlines, the sea, infr...

  Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP@twitter.com and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails. Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary. Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability. We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace,...
