Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Our task today is to provide the army with weapons, the second aspect is NATO and European integration

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky emphasizes that the main purpose of his foreign visits, in particular to the Netherlands and Finland, is to ensure the fastest provision of the necessary weapons to the Ukrainian army to reflect Russian aggression and the liberation of all Ukrainian lands. He stated this during a meeting with media representatives as a result of negotiations with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte and Prime Minister of Belgium Alexander de Kroo in Hague.

“Our task today is to fill our weapon group. This was my mission yesterday. This is my mission today. We planned these visits to strengthen our army. As one of the aspects is safety. The second aspect is NATO and European integration, ”the head of state said. According to him, the foreign partners of Ukraine received appropriate requests. “A lot we come back with. There are serious packages from our partners, and this is the most important thing, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.

On the issue of providing the F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, according to the President, the conversation should start with the training of pilots. “These training missions can only provide us with those countries that have the relevant sites that have the F-16 weapons. But this is the same difficult question as the issue of consolidation of countries on our future in the European Union and our future in NATO. We are working on that.

I am sure that we will have a positive result, because we have no other way out, ”the head of state emphasized. Answering a counter -offensive question, the President noted that Ukraine believes in its victory and success of the counter -offensive. All countries and all society are working to strengthen the Armed Forces.
