The air defense supply schedule is a key schedule for Ukraine - President's address

I wish you health!

Briefly about this day. First. Today is the day of the SBU's "Alpha". One of our strongest units. I thank you, soldiers! I awarded the "Alpha" soldiers with state awards, and there is absolutely no reason for this - the results are strong. The "Alpha" Special Operations Center is currently the leader in enemy defeats, this is clear data. At the front, at least 20% of Russian forces' defeats are thanks to "Alpha". A truly heroic unit.

These days, there have been detailed meetings with the diplomatic team on most of the measures until August. There will be a lot of activities. The most important thing is that Ukraine receives air defense assets exactly as needed, and exactly as our partners promise. The air defense supply schedule is a key schedule for Ukraine and the personal responsibility of diplomats in all areas of our cooperation with partners. The team of the government, the ministries of foreign affairs and defense of Ukraine should focus on this. Results are needed. Well-executed work on the production in Ukraine and together with partners of weapons for our long-range sanctions and also our completely fair medium-range responses to the occupier. Every day it is clear that Ukrainian accuracy is working. I am grateful to all the forces involved. SBS, Special Operations Forces, SBU, GUR, all our units - thank you. This pressure of ours and every other form of pressure on Russia must continue to work and work for peace. The majority in Russia is already making a claim to Putin that his war has no end in sight, and all the current difficulties for the Russians should bring them closer to the idea that this is their war, and it is not just a "stone from the sky," and that their war must end. Real negotiations are needed, Ukraine has made all the proposals for this.

We are also working to implement the agreements of the recent G7 summit. We are preparing for the events that will take place this week and beyond. Today, we discussed in detail with Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko the tasks for the Conference on the Restoration of Ukraine, which will begin in Gdansk. It is important to be constructive in relations with Poland, and I am grateful to all partners - everyone who is with us, who is with Ukraine, - everyone who prepared meaningful things for the meeting in Gdansk. Prime Minister Svyrydenko will head the Ukrainian delegation. Thank you to everyone who is with Ukraine! I am proud of all our soldiers and everyone, everyone, who works for Ukraine, who strengthens our state, who strengthens our people!

Glory to Ukraine!
