Support the fundraiser for 10 fully equipped ambulances for Ukraine!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has joined the UNITED24 campaign launched with former astronaut, EMT and UNITED24 ambassador Scott Kelly to raise $1.2 million for 10 modern ambulances.
Ukrainian medics work under fire and travel through damaged roads to evacuate the wounded. Russian forces also target evacuation teams, including when they are helping civilians or heavily wounded soldiers.
Unlike standard ambulances, armoured evacuation vehicles are built to withstand enemy fire. They are faster and more agile, helping medics reach the wounded quickly and safely. More protection means more lives saved.

💬🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "The quickest way to end Russia's war is to hold the positions and move to discussions. What is very important here is that we decided: stop where we are, it's a ceasefire, and we go to the diplomatic track. It can last one month, two months, or one year. Or it can last longer than we expect today.
But we end the hot stage and people stop dying. When you hold, you speak about the contact line, slow down the pace of mobilisation, the economy begins to work. You are in discussions.
Dialogue is better than guns. That's why the best way to end this war is to exchange guns for words."

A good meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin. There is a new €645 million defense package for Ukraine. It is primarily funding for the procurement of drones – attack drones and interceptors – ammunition for F-16s, and PURL. A very timely and substantial boost, just as Russia is carrying out its ballistic campaign against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating, and everything that makes up normal life.
We also discussed additional humanitarian support. Today, ahead of the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation from the Russians, Denmark has also made a decision to support our people in the Kherson region specifically. There is a €20 million energy package for the region. It is very important that Denmark focuses on direct support for our communities. A lot has been done in the Mykolaiv region thanks to these efforts. We are counting on them to continue. We also discussed the results of our work under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic program.
I thank Mette, the Government, Parliament, and all the people of Denmark for their unwavering support, truly strong decisions, and leadership in protecting lives and values.

I had a good meeting with @kajakallas to coordinate our priorities on peace, security, and Ukraine’s EU accession.
I informed HRVP about our ongoing diplomatic work and the battlefield situation. We coordinated positions in peace efforts and exchanged views on the next steps.
We also discussed the strengthening of our air defense, sustained sanctions pressure on Russia, and our work to secure Ukraine’s macro-financial stability.
I also reiterated Ukraine’s expectation to open two remaining EU negotiating clusters until the end of the year.
I am grateful to the European Union and to Kaja personally for the unwavering support for Ukraine.

Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin and I met with students at the University of Copenhagen. We spoke about the terrible price of this war, which Russia unleashed against Ukraine; all our efforts to bring it to an end; preparations for winter; and the support we receive from our partners.
Ukrainians are dozens of times stronger than Russians, but without support, it would be extremely difficult for us to defend our country, which is dozens of times smaller than Russia. By defending ourselves, we are defending all of Europe. And it would be extremely difficult to do that without such strong partners as Denmark. Thank you for this conversation, for such a warm welcome, and for all the support from the people of Denmark. We always feel it, and we will always be grateful for all the help. Thank you!

Received a report from our negotiating team. Today was the first day of meetings in Abu Dhabi. First came a meeting with our European and American partners, followed by a trilateral format between our delegation and the American and Russian delegations. I am grateful to all of Ukraine’s partners for their support.
The trilateral format was constructive and quite substantive. They had time to discuss the need and possible parameters for humanitarian steps. The release of prisoners is a priority. They spoke in detail about the substance of security guarantees for Ukraine and the foundations for ensuring these guarantees function over the long term. Real tools are needed to block any recurrence of the war. The need for de-escalation steps was also touched upon.
I gave our team clear instructions for further dialogue – both in the trilateral format tomorrow and more broadly, over the coming days, with envoys of the U.S. President and representatives of Europe. The main thing is to truly bring peace closer. And on Ukraine’s part, there will be only productive, high-quality, and honest work. I thank the American side for organizing these negotiations and the UAE for providing a reliable platform for them.

Russia’s bombing of an underground shelter in Komyshuvakha was a horrific attack on civilians. At least 55 people were killed and 45 remain missing. They had gathered there to receive humanitarian aid, with the location and timing of the distribution widely publicized.
The Head of the @UNHumanRightsUA said the attack appears to have violated the most fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.
Ukraine’s UN Ambassador said the Komyshuvakha bombing, alongside the Mariupol Drama Theatre strike, will be presented as evidence of Russian war crimes.
Russia must end its attacks on Ukrainian civilians. The international community must step up efforts to protect them and ensure accountability.

Russian torturers and killers should be behind bars, not relaxing in the seat next to you on a plane. They must face punishment, not enjoy the freedom and comfort of international travel.
These war criminals deliberately and systematically use terror to subdue people and break their spirit. We urge governments to protect their people and national security – impose individual sanctions, including travel bans, on Russian war criminals.

The warriors of the Airborne Assault Forces distinguished themselves through their heroism back in the battles following the start of Russian aggression in 2014. Operations in Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Shakhtarsk, Debaltseve, Lyman, at Savur-Mohyla, and in other parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Battles at the Donetsk and Luhansk airports. Raiding operations behind enemy lines.
After the start of Russia’s full-scale aggression, Ukraine’s Airborne Assault Forces, became one of the pillars of the defense of our independence and the justified return of the war to Russia. The paratroopers took part in the defense of Kyiv, the defense of Mykolaiv, and the most difficult battles in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Thank you for the Kharkiv offensive operation. Thank you for liberating the right-bank part of our Kherson region. In 2024, Ukraine carried out our Kursk operation, involving, among others, the Airborne Assault Forces. For the first time, this operation brought ground combat onto Russian territory.
This year, our Airborne Assault Forces units carried out a successful offensive operation in the Oleksandrivskyi sector, and this has already returned more than 800 square kilometers of our land to Ukraine.
All of these are extremely significant chapters in the war for Ukraine’s independence. Today, I honored our paratroopers with Ukraine’s state awards and presented military units with a battle flag and a ribbon bearing an honorary designation. Thank you. We are proud of you.

A powerful and deeply moving letter by my Swedish colleague @MariaStenergard.
Every day, Russia kills Ukrainian children, destroys families and steals futures. Behind every number is a life, a name, a family and a story that should have had a different ending.
We cannot allow the world to grow accustomed to these tragedies. We cannot let the killing of Ukrainian children become just another headline. Ukraine needs the means to protect its people, and Russia must be held accountable for every life it has taken and every crime it has committed.
Thank you, dear Maria, for speaking up, for your moral clarity and for Sweden’s leadership in supporting Ukraine.
The message of your letter must be heard across Europe. Expressions of solidarity will not intercept Russian missiles. Air defense systems will. Russia's frozen assets must be put to work for Ukraine, and the resources sustaining Moscow's war machine must be cut off.
We need more than words of solidarity from all our partners. We need decisive action, continued support and a united Europe that stands by its principles.
Russia is waging a war in which even Ukrainian children are deliberately targeted by its missiles and drones. There is no justification for this barbarity, and there can be no excuse for failing to stop it when the means to do so exist.
Ukrainian children deserve to grow up, make plans and have a future. Ukraine is fighting for their future in a free country, and Europe has the power to help protect that future. What matters now is whether it acts.
Behind every headline about Russia’s war on Ukraine, innocent lives are lost. Little Angelina was one of them. When I see her picture, I think of my own daughter.
Angelina’s story must serve as a wake-up call for Europe. We owe it to her and to every Ukrainian child. We can and must do more.

Ten regions came under Russia's attack last night. Five major substations that carry power between regions were hit in Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad regions.
Two people were killed in the shelling of Ladyzhyn. My sincere condolences to their families and relatives. Nine more people were injured in Kharkiv and Pereiaslav.
The enemy again targeted civilian infrastructure: a kindergarten was damaged in Kharkiv, and a hospital in Bilozerka, Kherson region. Residential buildings were either destroyed or damaged in Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Poltava and Kyiv regions.
Emergency teams are still working to deal with the aftermath. I am grateful to the energy workers, rescuers, police officers and all those who stood by people overnight and are still on the ground.

I met with our artists and cultural figures, spoke with them, and presented them with state awards. I presented the Order of the Golden Star to the mother of writer, translator, and civic activist Volodymyr Vakulenko, who was awarded this honor posthumously. Among those honored were also Anatolii Kokush; Marko Halanevych and Olena Tsybulska, members of the band DakhaBrakha; Daria Astafieva; Yaroslava Gres; Valeriia Guzema; Vira Kobzar; Taras Topolia; Liubko Deresh; and Yuliia Kozlovets.
We are all united by the understanding that culture and art are very much needed and important. They are a voice. Where Ukraine is not heard, where not everyone understands us, it is the voice of art, culture, painting, and cinema – everything that inspires all of us within Ukraine and is heard abroad today – that has a significant impact. I thank Ukrainian artists for everything you do – for spreading the truth abroad about what is happening in our country and for keeping up the spirits of Ukrainians here at home.

A report from Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi on the situation in the energy sector, efforts to address the aftermath of Russian strikes, and communication with the European Commission to secure new decisions in support of Ukraine.
First, I am grateful to Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission team for already beginning to coordinate concrete steps that can help our cities and communities right now amid Russian terror. It is important to provide people with as many opportunities as possible to get through this winter.
Second, the Prime Minister, together with Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Ihor Klymenko, is working on the necessary logistical alternatives for Kyiv and designated regional centers. I am grateful to the National Police of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the agencies involved for implementing the decisions made to support cities and communities.
Third, we are preparing for bilateral formats with partners in Europe and engagement with international financial institutions over the coming weeks. There will be additional steps to strengthen our country. Glory to Ukraine!

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people.
This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?”
“Not NATO, but similar to NATO.”
“Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?”
They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty?

Skepticism about providing help to Ukraine is not good for any European country, because it’s all about Russia. Russia is against European rules and values. Pragmatically, it’s important and even necessary to have a strong Ukraine. If European help disappears, the consequences could only be either dangerous or very dangerous.
Dangerous: Russia continues its hybrid attacks, like it did many times in Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, even in Germany and in Nordic countries, like Finland and Denmark. They will start doing it on a massive scale. It's a soft scenario.
Very dangerous: Russia moves deeper into Europe. Putin wants the USSR back and back in the USSR. Now what does that mean? To have influence over the former USSR countries: the Baltic states and Moldova at the very least. So it’s also about countries that are in NATO, which means NATO will have to react. All of Europe will get involved, and the United States. There are also perils at sea. Russia could block the Baltic Sea like it blocks the Black Sea.

Grateful to @Antonio_Tajani for our meeting in Paris.
I reiterated my personal support following Russia’s cyber attacks and Ukraine’s readiness to develop cooperation in cyber security and other areas. We discussed joint work to counter Russian threats.
I informed my colleague about the battlefield situation and our diplomatic efforts toward peace. We share the view that this war should end as soon as possible.
We appreciate Italy’s consistent political, military, and economic support for Ukraine, including the decision to extend authorisation for assistance through 2026.
Strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and expanding defence-industrial cooperation remain key priorities. I also thanked Italy for its practical support to Ukraine’s energy resilience ahead of winter.
We coordinated positions on broader security challenges and reaffirmed the importance of European unity.

Tragic news coming from Bulgaria, where a horrific chain-reaction crash on the Trakia motorway has claimed at least 11 lives and left 48 people injured.
My heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. I wish a swift and full recovery to all the injured.
As a nation that faces the loss of innocent lives every day due to Russia’s aggression, Ukraine deeply understands this pain and stands with Bulgaria.

Arrived in Denmark with my team for meetings with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Danish parliamentarians, and leading defense companies. An audience with King Frederik X is also scheduled, along with a separate meeting with the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland.
The main priority is our security and strengthening our defense. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities – a strong defense package from Denmark. Thank you for this support!
Denmark has stood with Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale war and remains one of our most reliable partners and a leader in various formats that strengthen the protection of human lives. We thank the Danish people and government for their unwavering support and concrete decisions that help us stand strong.
