In the evening of April 28, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traditionally addressed Ukrainians and talked about the main events of the day.
Contacts with partners
Today Zelenskyy held talks with Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Head of State thanked him and all congressmen for their support of our state and "personal leadership in advancing a new aid package to Ukraine".
In his conversation with Jeffries, he emphasized the need for "Patriot" systems as soon as possible.
Teams from Ukraine and the United States are also working on a bilateral security agreement.
“We are already working on a specific text. Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all. We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and for the next ten years, including armed support, financial, political, and joint arms production. The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership”, - Zelenskyy said.
Moreover, he mentioned that there will be quite a lot of international communication next week - both public and private.
“We remember what this year should bring us in the political sense, in particular the result with the European Union. Ukraine has fulfilled all the necessary conditions for the actual start of accession negotiations, and now it is up to the EU side to fulfill its obligations”, - the President added.
Aid from the West
The Head of State says that Ukraine is still waiting for the promised supplies.
“We expect exactly the volume and content of supplies that can change the situation on the battlefield in the interests of Ukraine. And it is important that every agreement we have reached is implemented – everything that will yield practical results on the battlefield and boost the morale of everyone on the frontline”, - he said.
Peace Summit
“We continue preparations for the first inaugural Peace Summit in June, and our team, along with the teams of our key partners, is working to make the Summit truly global. We can say for sure that all continents will be represented – different parts of the world, different views on global development. But all of them share the same recognition that the UN Charter and basic international conventions are binding documents for every country in the world, including a country like Russia, where madness prevails. The world majority must force Russia into peace – and it can do this”, - Zelenskyy said.
