I count on Ukrainian unity, on Ukrainian courage, on our relations with partners, on European Unity, and on America’s Pragmatism, said the President of Ukraine in his address.

“Together with America and Europe, peace can be more secure; and that is our goal. And most importantly – this should be not only our goal, but a shared one with our partners. Especially as we approach the third anniversary of the beginning of this war – a war that we in Ukraine have wanted to end from the very first second. I am confident that we will end it, and with a lasting peace. And in such a way that Russia will never be able to invade Ukraine again, that Ukrainians will return from Russian captivity, and that Ukraine will have a future. This is a natural aspiration of every nation.

I am grateful to everyone who is working for our people and our country. This matters, and this is what I always count on. And we stand firmly on our feet. I count on Ukrainian unity, on our Ukrainian courage, on our relations with partners, on our European unity, and on America’s pragmatism - America, which needs success as much as we all do. Success unites. Our unity is the best safeguard for our future. A future not with Putin, but with peace. And it is a choice for everyone in the world – including the strongest – to stand with Putin or with peace. It is worth choosing peace. I thank everyone for their support”, - says Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
