On our part, everything will be as ready as possible to finish the war - the President's address

It is important that everything is as practical as possible: what forces on Earth, in the sky, at sea - everything should be clearly defined. And the basis of security is our Ukrainian army, our Ukrainian defense forces. And so, the financing of long -term for the army, the provision of weapons - all this will be. I want to thank every partner who is already with us. It is important to increase the pace of work on all details.

Today I spoke with the British military: the chief of the Britain's defense headquarters - valid - and his successor. I am grateful for the support. We discussed both the front, our prospects, and the key basics of future security guarantees. We appreciate our cooperation with Britain. Now there will be contacts with Turkey, contacts with the Gulf countries, with European countries, which can be platforms for talking to the Russians.

On our part, everything will be ready as possible to finish the war. It is important that the partners confirm this. In the future, everything will depend solely on the will of the world leaders - especially on the United States of America - to press on Russia. New steps, new pressure are needed: sanctions, tariffs - all this should be on the table.

We talked about it with General Kelloga yesterday, we work with the Americans very meaningfully - after our meeting in Washington we have a new basis for working together. This is significant. Russia gives signals only that it is going to continue to evade real negotiations. This can only be changed by strong sanctions, strong tariffs - real pressure. We also take our steps that can influence.

I want to thank for the accuracy of our soldiers - Ukrainian drones, Ukrainian missiles are really working well. Russian logistics, Russian fuel infrastructure feel it. There were military reports today. Also - Vasyl Malyuk, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine. Ukrainian active operations, our protective operations - we will continue it all, the enemy does not leave other options. A few more things. They talked to the Prime Minister of Ukraine today.

In particular, about the preparation for the winter - for the heating season. It is very important to increase appropriate cooperation with our European countries, partners - there are good agreements with Norway, and we also need to work more actively with the European Commission. I just held a meeting with the diplomatic team - the Foreign Ministry, Office, All. We are preparing new contacts with the leaders of partner countries. We expect to be very active in the coming weeks.
