Čím víc bude vidětna čí straně Trump je, tím lépe bude mobilizovat zbytek Evropy, než se zde obmění politické vedení (potenciálně k horšímu).
CČestmír StrakatýXView on XZelensky uz jde ostre do Trumpa. Chapu, ale jakej ma endgame? Sazi na jeho prohru v midterms a zmenu pristupu? Nebo nema co ztratit a tak zkousi tlacit?
ZVolodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир ЗеленськийXView on XWe had a very detailed discussion with @vonderleyen on virtually all the current areas of our work with the European Union and the decisions needed to support Ukraine. I thanked Ursula for the recent €1.24 billion tranche for defense, which Ukraine has already received. I am grateful for the confirmation that another approximately €3 billion in military support will be allocated as early as next week. These funds will strengthen us.
Of course, I briefed the President on the brutal Russian strikes that continue unabated. Just before our conversation, the Russians struck a power plant in Kyiv with a “shahed” drone, and many districts experienced power outages. Later, there were strikes on energy facilities in the Kharkiv region. And all of this happened AFTER the President of the United States made his statement about an energy ceasefire.
Under these circumstances, reliable support from our partners means real protection for people's lives and a guarantee that the Russians will not be able to break Ukraine. We deeply appreciate all the tangible steps taken to support our defense and our people.
Ursula and I agreed that our teams will have detailed discussions on our next joint actions and the coordination of our steps. We are also preparing to open the negotiating clusters – so that all the remaining clusters are opened by the end of the year. Ukraine’s European path is also a path toward strengthening Europe itself. Thank you!
