I think it's the first time since the 24th of February, 2022, we see a real opportunity to pave the way towards peace.

We want to go down that path with you as Ukrainians, with our European neighbors and with the United States of America.

And I believe we are well on the way to getting there.

We've certainly taken a significant step and I expect further steps this evening.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

I want to thank Germany for giving me the opportunity to activate our work towards peace.

These are important days where we are hopefully really making progress.

I hope that you can help us to bring peace even closer to us.

Germany and the German Chancellor are a huge support for us, both Ukraine and the people who live in it.

And we want to live an ordinary life, and it's worth fighting for that.

But unfortunately, it is the case that the Ukrainians in the 21st century have to defend their rights with weapons, their right to live in liberty in Europe in a European manner.

And we are fighting particularly within the framework of negotiations.

We feel we are being heard and we feel our partners are prepared to support us.

Security guarantees are crucial and we need to work on that during the negotiations.

I emphasize that security guarantees of this kind must be in place and must work not least in the interest of Europe.

But of course, first and foremost for Ukraine, I want to thank the German Chancellor for.
