“There are two specific decisions that our partners can make to help us put an end to Russian terror sooner. First, affirming Ukraine's long-range strikes on all legitimate military targets on Russian territory. Second, agreeing to use partners' air defence capabilities to shoot down missiles and drones close to their airspace. Neither of these decisions would lead to an escalation of war. On the contrary, they will deter Russia, help reduce terror and the number of Russian attacks, as well as the resulting casualties. Act now, not later. Help us save lives.”

“I emphasised the significance of a just peace, not just any peace. And my Chinese counterpart himself added, 'fair and long'. This is critical because we are usually the ones who insist that peace be durable - long-term and just. This is significant; we have received a clear indication that China is not looking for interim fixes or ceasefires but rather for a long-term, strategic solution to the problem of Russia's war against Ukraine. This is also an extremely positive indicator.”

“The text is balanced, all of our principled positions on which Ukraine had insisted have been considered. Of course we...understand perfectly that a time will come when it will be necessary to talk to Russia. But our position is very clear: We will not allow Russia to speak in the language of ultimatums like it is speaking now.”

“Ukraine's partners can do two things to prevent these attacks [Russian strike on the Epicentr home improvement hypermarket in Kharkiv]. First, to give Ukraine more Patriot and other air defence systems. Second, to allow Ukraine to shoot down Russian military aircraft before they drop bombs on Kharkiv and other [Ukrainian] cities and populated areas. Give Ukraine more air defence systems and support Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Russia. Act now.”

“This horrific attack [on Kharkiv and Lyubotyn] should remind everyone around the world that Ukraine still urgently needs seven Patriot systems. We are very grateful to Germany for announcing another system. But getting six more as soon as possible remains critical not only for Ukraine's survival, but also for peace in Europe. Everyone should be clearly aware of what is being said. Every day of delay and debate not only costs lives, but also brings the possibility of a larger war in Europe closer.”

“We are coordinating the next steps regarding the search and delivery of additional air-defense systems to Ukraine, primarily Patriot systems. I appreciate David's [David Cameron] active, results-oriented attitude.”

“Germany, as the leader of the air defence coalition operating within the Ramstein-format group, will immediately initiate an analysis of all available Patriot systems and batteries and other air defence systems, not only among allies, but also in the world. And what can be done, what combinations can be employed to ensure that these batteries are delivered to Ukraine.”

“The era of peace in Europe is over. And every time Ukrainian soldiers withdraw from a Ukrainian town because of the lack of ammunition, think of it not only in terms of democracy and defending the world-based order, but also in terms of Russian soldiers getting a few kilometres closer to your towns.”

“Whoever controls the skies will define when and how the war will end. We are fighting a powerful enemy, a very big enemy that doesn't sleep. It takes time. We defeated them on the land in 2022. We defeated them in the sea in 2023 and we are completely focused on defeating them in the air in 2024.”

“In the last week alone, the Russian Federation has struck through more than a hundred Iranian kamikaze drones against residential buildings, power stations, sewage treatment plants, bridges and playgrounds in a number of Ukrainian cities. Dozens of people, including children, were killed and injured. We call on Tehran to immediately stop supplying Russia with any weapons.”

“Sham 'referendums' will not change anything. Russia has been and remains an aggressor illegally occupying parts of Ukrainian land. Ukraine has every right to liberate its territories and will keep liberating them whatever Russia has to say.”

“In total, two-thirds of the ships sent are directed to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The recovery of Ukrainian food exports through the grain corridor had a positive effect on the reduction of prices as in August, after first shipments were completed, wheat prices fell by at least five percent. The Russians' fakes about sending Ukrainian grain only to Europe simply do not correspond to reality.”

“Russia has committed another petrifying war crime by shelling a correctional facility in the occupied Olenivka where it held Ukrainian POWs. I call on all partners to strongly condemn this brutal violation of international humanitarian law and recognize Russia a terrorist state.”

“We need heavy weapons. The only position where Russia is better than us, it's the amount of heavy weapons they have. Without artillery, without multiple launch rocket systems we won't be able to push them back.”

“We didn't really have any contacts with Russian diplomats in recent weeks at the level of foreign ministries. The only level of contact is the negotiating team that consists of the representatives of various institutions and members of parliament. They continue their consultations at the expert level but no high level talks are taking place.”
