Moscow was silent all day about the proposal of a direct meeting. Very strange silence. It will still have to end the war, and it is better to do so before. There is no point in continuing the murder. President Erdogan has expressed a full willingness to take a meeting. It is important that President Trump fully supports the meeting and we would like him to be able to be in Turkey. There was also a lot of work with our partners today - with Americans, with Europeans - diplomatic work.
There was also a very good conversation with the Pope today - I started with this day. Pope Leo XIV said warm and very important words about Ukraine, about our people, about a just and sustained peace for our country and the return of our people - of course, the return of prisoners and children who were stolen by Russia. I thanked for the support. We discussed possible meetings. I invited the Pope to come to Ukraine.
Today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga reported to me about talking to colleagues from Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, France, the European Union and the United States of America. I am grateful to everyone for the constructiveness and readiness to take the necessary steps so that peace really is. Ukraine did not want this war a single second - from its beginning.
My partners and I care about safety, together we prepare a reliable basis for establishing peace, together we act so that diplomacy really worked. He spent the bet today. Key issues are Ukraine's rocket program and our drones, all the types of drones we need. There were also reports on the use of drones, on the right, the results of the lesion on the front. I want to thank all our domestic manufacturers who work for Ukraine to keep technological leadership.
We also work to protect our infrastructure to be able to defend ourselves for a long time, and these are systematic solutions, responsibility for implementation - personal. And one more. I want to thank all our soldiers - I want to thank everyone and everyone who is now at the front, at combat posts and tasks. There were reports of the Syrsky Main Committee today: Donetsk and Kursk direction - the most rigid battles continue there. Our boys-33rd, 225, 425th assault regiments-I want to thank you.
Kramatorsk direction-warriors of the 24th separate mechanized brigade-young people! Pokrovsky direction-the 14th brigade of the National Guard and the 117th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine-thank you! Together with all our forces at the front, the units of the National Police of Ukraine are protecting our country: assault brigades "Lyuta", "Predator", Coruda units, shooting battalions - thank you all! Ukraine has defended its independence, Ukraine protects its own right daily - the right to life, and we necessarily guarantee Ukraine safety - safety exactly what is needed.
