“Thanks to Germany for the largest defense package: EUR 2.7 billion, Iris air defense systems of various modifications and missiles for them, guns and shells, armored vehicles… In addition, Germany will support our country for a long time.

Of course, thanks to Britain for the long-range capabilities for our soldiers, for the range,” the president said.

“At all meetings, our Peace Formula was discussed, and now there is more readiness of partners to follow the Ukrainian formula. There is more support for our entry into the EU, more understanding that Ukraine’s entry into NATO is inevitable,” Zelenskyy also said.
