Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Today, there was no silence on the front line. Combat actions have continued. We have documented all of this. We also see that Russia has no intention of ending this war, and we are unfortunately preparing for new attacks.

[00:00:17]But peace must come. That is exactly what we are working for. The defense of Ukraine, Ukraine's independence, and the safety of our people. These are the most important things.

[00:00:31]Today, Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, reported on the results of the meeting in the US. There were meetings at the political and technological levels with American companies. America remains in the diplomatic process. It is clear that the war in Iran is currently attracting the most attention from America and the US President. But there is a priority and support there from the American people to end this war in Europe as well.

[00:01:09]Germany's Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, was in Ukraine today. We discussed in particular the possibilities for joint arms production.

[00:01:20]We're already manufacturing drones in partnership with Germany, and we intend to expand this area of cooperation.

[00:01:28]I am grateful to Germany for its assistance with air defense. It is truly a leading contribution, and we appreciate it. It is important that there is also substantial assistance in the energy sector.

[00:01:41]We are very much counting on additional supplies of energy equipment from Germany. We are preparing to work within the E3 framework, the UK, France, and Germany.

[00:01:52]This format is necessary for us, for Ukraine.
