In fact, it was in Kyiv that negotiated with NATO Jens Stoltenberg. Protection of Ukraine. Protection of the entire international order based on the rules. Protection of life. We are preparing for the Ramstein meeting, and Mr. Stoltenberg's position is important. We are preparing for our active action on the front - they are inevitable. We are also preparing for NATO Summit in Vilnius, which is scheduled for the summer of this year, but its content is being processed now.
It is at such meetings that in contacts of different levels that we lead with partners. Neither most Ukrainians nor most Europeans, nor most residents of NATO space will understand the Alliance's leaders, unless a well -deserved political invitation for Ukraine to the Alliance in Vilnius at this summit. Ukraine has done everything in order for our application to be satisfied. It is difficult even to say whose contribution to European and Euro -Atlantic security is greater than our soldiers . . .
Ukrainians and Ukrainian women who protect their freedom with their lives. I thank all the partners who support us in this. The international summit of cities and regions took place today in Kyiv. A new format of cooperation of our country with partners. The Congress of local and regional authorities of Ukraine, which unites the central authorities and local leaders, is now gaining international level.
In order to involve foreign partners more actively in our country, to develop the economy, infrastructure in our communities. I am grateful to anyone who participated in the summit . . . representatives of different countries, cities, municipalities. European institutions, the Council of Europe, the President of the Committee of the EU Regions . . . more than one hundred participants from almost forty countries. I am grateful to everyone and everyone for the support of Ukraine! Today, Ms.
Ann Idalgo met with Paris mayor. He was honored to hand over to her special distinction of Ukraine for the capital of France, a distinction of the city-rescuer. Paris has become one of the largest centers for Ukraine in Europe - in every sense. I would like to point out the help in protecting our energy. It was in the capital of France that the format conference was held, as it was called, "Energy Ramstein".
Paris has accumulated strong support for Ukraine for Ukraine, provides social and humanitarian support. I thank all the French, all Parisians, President of France Macron for his unchanging attention to Ukraine, for leadership. And especially I would like to point out the absolutely fundamental and so -called Ukrainian position of Ms. Paris to protect the Olympic movement from Russian ideologization, from propaganda.
Obviously, the terrorist state will do everything to justify itself through sports or to use the International Olympic Movement to support its aggression. That is why it is important that, while aggression, the Russian state has no access to the sports, Olympic sites. In particular, the Paris Playground - this city will host the 2024 Olympiad. Ms. Paris's mayor has reaffirmed today that she does not see room for representatives of the aggressor state in Paris while aggression is ongoing.
This is a clear, important signal, thank you for him. It would be good that such signals may be heard in the International Olympic Committee, where, unfortunately, the personal benefit of individual bureaucrats dominates the Olympic principles. One more. Today, the moon of Ramadan is coming to Muslims… The bright Ramazan Bayram holiday deserves completely different conditions. It deserves the peace that we so strive for, deserves the victory that we all go to.
