President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke about his meeting with Dutch Defense Minister Kaisa Ollongren, underscoring the international community's strong commitment to defending his country against Russia's continued aggression.
President Zelensky described Minister Ollongren's visit to Dnipro, where she witnessed the devastating consequences of Russian aerial bombardment, as a clear signal of international support for Ukraine. "Our meeting underlined the imperative need to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses," Zelenskiy said, adding that the Netherlands had promised to provide additional artillery, armored vehicles and drones.
This meeting comes in the context of Ukraine preparing for the inauguration of the Global Peace Summit, which will take place in Switzerland. President Zelenski appealed to all the nations of the world to participate and contribute to the restoration of peace, stressing that "every voice counts".
In addition, Zelenski expressed his deep gratitude to the Netherlands and the other nations that provided crucial support. "Ukraine does not divide the world into big and small," he declared, rejecting any form of colonialist view of the world and emphasizing equality between nations.
Recently, another "Ramstein" took place, a meeting of countries that support Ukraine in its defense against Russian terror. At the meeting, which was described by Zelenski as "productive", new defense packages were discussed, including the delivery of limited artillery and the accession of new states to the initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine.
Prioritizing air defense, electronic warfare and the development of drone capabilities remain at the heart of Ukraine's defense efforts, with concrete results already visible on the ground. Zelenski thanked all the countries participating in "Ramstein", especially the United States and Secretary Austin, for their leadership and support.
"Thank you to everyone in the world who helps us! Glory to all our people who fight and work for Ukraine!" concluded President Zelenski, a message that strongly resonates with the desire for peace and stability at the global level.
