Germany has just announced the provision of anti-tank grenade launchers and stinger missiles to Ukraine. Keep it up, Chancellor Olaf Scholz! Anti-war coalition in action!

Thanked Pope Francis Pope Leo XIV for praying for peace in Ukraine and a ceasefire. The Ukrainian people feel the spiritual support of His Holiness.

Informed President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala about the current situation. Concrete assistance was discussed. Grateful to our friends 🇬🇪 and 🇨🇿 for their support.

In a phone conversation, I thanked Andrzej Duda for his personal leadership in granting Ukraine membership in the #EU. The concrete daily assistance of Poland to our country is also invaluable. The 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 relationship is a common history and, I am sure, a common European future.

Had a phone conversation with Boris Johnson. Grateful to the British Prime Minister for his position, new decisions to enhance the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian army. Agreed on further joint steps to counter the aggressor.
