Щойно міністр внутрішніх справ України Ігор Клименко доповів про ліквідацію в Києві нападника, який відкрив вогонь по звичайних людях. Усі обставини зʼясовуються. Наразі відомо про 5 загиблих. Мої співчуття рідним та близьким. Станом на зараз 10 людей госпіталізовані з

Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko has just reported that the attacker in Kyiv who opened fire on civilians has been eliminated. All the circumstances are being established. At present, 5 people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to the families and

Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi delivered his report. First of all, regarding the front line – I am grateful to all our units that are holding their positions and repelling Russian assaults. The high pace of eliminating occupiers continues in April. The Russians are not

Була доповідь Головкома Олександра Сирського. Перш за все по фронту – дякую всім нашим підрозділам, які зберігають позиції та стримують російські штурми. У квітні зберігається високий темп знищення окупантів. Росіянам не вдається перехопити фронтову ініціативу, і це важливо.

Key parts of the world need to rely more on their own strength: Europe, Middle East and the Gulf, as well as key regions in Asia, and also Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. From an address to virtual meeting on Freedom of Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Thus, Europe needs to take even stronger steps to protect lives, above all, to defend against ballistic threats and maintain pressure on Russia. I’m grateful to all the countries helping us with this – supplying air defense, supporting PURL, and speeding up domestic production.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

War in Iran is negatively affecting the situation in Europe through Russia’s war against Ukraine. Russia has no intention of reducing the number and brutality of its strikes, while the U.S. may be easing pressure on it. This could lead to weapon shortages, especially air defense.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Russia also tried to block our sea, and we have experience with escorting commercial vessels, demining, protection from air attacks, and overall coordination of such operations. Ukrainians are already working in the Gulf on air security. We can also contribute to security at sea.

Second, let’s have our military teams meet as soon as possible and go through all the critical aspects of how a security mission in Hormuz could work, and what experience each side can bring. Ukraine has gone through a very similar mission in the Black Sea.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

First, we need to define what actually depends on all of us in Hormuz and what depends on the U.S. It’s also important to involve the countries of the Middle East in a way that reflects their shared interests. Key principle is: after the war security must be stronger, not weaker.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

We must be as concrete and clear as possible so that we don't end up, six months from now, like in Gaza – where lots yet has to be done – security there is still largely fragile, reconstruction hasn’t really started, and many humanitarian problems remain unresolved. In Hormuz,

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

We all need to work together to remove the dangers in Hormuz in a way that helps protect freedom of navigation everywhere in the world. The decisions made now on Hormuz will shape what other troublemakers might think about causing problems – in other straits and on other fronts. https://t.co/05Z46UUgiv
