⚡️Zelensky with an URGENT address! Be FIRST to hear the ANNOUNCEMENT about GENEVA and NEGOTIATIONS

[00:00:00] Dear Ukrainians, first of all about the [00:00:02] massive strike with which the Russians [00:00:04] began this day. 29 missiles of various [00:00:08] types were launched and 25 of them were [00:00:10] shot down. This is an important result [00:00:12] of our air defense and once again we [00:00:15] emphasize that air defense is a daily [00:00:16] necessity. Thank you to all our partners [00:00:19] who understand this. Even as another [00:00:21] Geneva track begins both trilateral and [00:00:24] bilateral meetings with the US, Russia [00:00:26] greets it with a strike. [00:00:28] This clearly demonstrates what Russia [00:00:30] wants and what they are set on. [00:00:33] There were also almost 400 drones. The [00:00:36] threat of strikes does not disappear. [00:00:39] Cold weather attracts Russia and they [00:00:40] will continue trying to put winter in [00:00:42] the service of war. [00:00:45] That is why all our warriors who protect [00:00:47] the sky must remain extremely vigilant. [00:00:51] Thank you for your precision. [00:00:54] All Ukrainian diplomats must also be as [00:00:56] active as possible to deliver results in [00:00:58] the supply of air defense missiles as [00:01:00] must the Minister of Defense. [00:01:04] We have just had a meeting with Minister [00:01:06] Federov. [00:01:08] We determine priorities. It is necessary [00:01:10] that deliveries work. [00:01:13] In the coming weeks, there will also be [00:01:14] a significant number of formats with our [00:01:16] partners, different talks and different [00:01:18] meetings. [00:01:20] We will talk as well about the fact that [00:01:22] Europe needs its own production of air [00:01:24] defense missiles. All types of missiles [00:01:25] that are truly needed. [00:01:30] Certain steps already exist. Building up [00:01:32] production, expanding it, but the speed [00:01:34] of this work is still insufficient. [00:01:37] The potential production volumes also [00:01:39] need to be increased. [00:01:42] Ukraine spoke about it with the United [00:01:44] States years ago, including the need to [00:01:46] create sufficient missile production in [00:01:48] Europe, in particular for Patriots. [00:01:52] There were promises of licenses, but the [00:01:54] United States ultimately did not go for [00:01:56] it. Although we proposed production both [00:01:58] in Ukraine and jointly with NATO [00:02:00] partners in the region, with Romania, [00:02:02] with Poland, and so on, [00:02:06] such decisions and such production would [00:02:08] definitely have strengthened all of us, [00:02:10] all of Europe. [00:02:13] I am confident that Europe will still be [00:02:15] able to provide itself with the [00:02:16] necessary volumes and the strength of [00:02:18] protection, but it would be much better [00:02:20] for everyone if this result were [00:02:22] achieved faster. [00:02:25] All day today, work has continued in [00:02:26] Odessa after the night strikes. There [00:02:29] were major power outages in Odessa as [00:02:31] well as in settlements in Odessa region. [00:02:34] People were also left without heat and [00:02:36] water. [00:02:37] Unfortunately, as of now, restoration [00:02:39] has not yet been completed. The work [00:02:42] will continue. I instructed to provide [00:02:44] Odessa with all the necessary support [00:02:46] and speed up the restoration. Later [00:02:48] today, there will be a report from the [00:02:50] delegation after the first round of [00:02:52] talks in Geneva. [00:02:54] They absolutely must raise the issue of [00:02:56] these strikes. [00:02:58] The question is first of all to the [00:03:00] American side which proposed that both [00:03:02] US and Russia refrain from strikes. [00:03:05] Ukraine is ready. We don't need a war [00:03:07] and we always act in a mirror manner. [00:03:10] We defend our state, our independence. [00:03:14] Likewise, we are ready to move quickly [00:03:15] toward a decent agreement to end the [00:03:17] war. The only question is to the [00:03:20] Russians. What do they want? [00:03:24] And also will there be some consequences [00:03:26] for Russia for the fact that shahads [00:03:28] missiles and fantasy talk on historical [00:03:30] themes matter more to them [00:03:33] than real diplomacy and a lasting peace. [00:03:38] One more thing in all these Russian [00:03:40] missiles and drones used today there are [00:03:42] thousands of components that Russia does [00:03:44] not produce itself. [00:03:47] Five iscanda M missiles contain at least [00:03:49] 75 critical components made outside [00:03:51] Russia. [00:03:53] Brihar 101 missiles contain almost 160 [00:03:57] components that Russia cannot replace on [00:03:59] its own. Each shard has hundreds of such [00:04:02] components that are brought into Russia [00:04:03] from other countries and not only from [00:04:05] Chinese companies. By the way, [00:04:09] they are also from Europe, the United [00:04:10] States, Japan. [00:04:14] It is important not only for us in [00:04:16] Ukraine but for global security in [00:04:18] general. that partners truly block [00:04:20] supply chains into Russia of critical [00:04:22] components for weapons production [00:04:26] and that the companies themselves [00:04:28] monitor better where their components [00:04:29] end up. [00:04:32] Russia cannot do anything without such [00:04:34] ties to the world. They are not capable [00:04:36] of being strong in complete isolation. [00:04:40] That is precisely why blocking and [00:04:41] pressure can truly push the aggressor to [00:04:43] change its policy. But this depends on [00:04:45] the world's resolve. [00:04:48] I thank everyone who acts strongly so [00:04:50] that the aggressor loses the ability to [00:04:52] drag out this war. [00:04:54] >> I thank everyone who helps us [00:04:57] who helps Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine.
