⚡️Zelenskyy said it in front of everyone! European leaders went silent - War & Politics 24
Speech by the President of Ukraine at the Coalition of the Willing Leaders’ Meeting. "Our priorities for today – number one is air defense and energy. And Keir said about it. And you can see that Putin has not achieved any of his real goals on the ground – no gains on the front line, and he turned to what he truly believes in – terror.
And of course, we need to protect our critical infrastructure – and prevent any blackouts. Our team will give your teams the key measures to help our energy sector. And this covers equipment and other items. And we are also talking about gas. Yes, we need a significant amount of imported gas for the coming winter because Russian strikes hit our production. And we’re already working with Norway, and Norway has been very helpful on this. Thanks, Jonas. And I urge everyone who understands this priority to help us finance the necessary volume of imports. Next – air defense." - 10/25/2025.
