Today, I spoke with the President of Finland @alexstubb, the Prime Minister of the UK @Keir_Starmer, the Prime Minister of Greece @kmitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Croatia @AndrejPlenkovic, the NATO Secretary General @SecGenNATO, and the leader of Germany’s CDU party – @_FriedrichMerz – whose party won the recent Bundestag elections. Clear support for Ukraine. Thank you. There are very important updates from the European Commission regarding substantial funding for Europe’s defense. For us, this primarily means additional air defense – more systems, more missiles, additional capabilities to protect our cities and villages, our positions. All of this creates a solid additional foundation for our efforts to bring the war to an end. We will continue consultations, and new joint steps will be taken. Ukraine deserves peace. Ukrainians deserve respect.
