During a conversation with Austrian Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker, we discussed the energy situation in Ukraine. Russia strikes at energy every day to leave Ukrainians without light and heat, and it is very important that partners react to this. Therefore, we greatly appreciate that last week Austria allocated funds to support our energy sector. Thank you! We also discussed other ways to support our energy system.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed about the trilateral meetings of the Ukrainian, American, and Russian delegations that took place in the UAE last week. The head of state noted that security guarantees were discussed, among other things.
Ukraine's accession to the European Union is one of the key security guarantees not only for us but also for the whole of Europe. After all, the common strength of Europe is possible, in particular, thanks to Ukraine's security, technological, and economic contributions. That is why we are talking about a specific date - 2027 and count on the support of our position from partners.
