“We are working closely with the U.S. on new defense packages that will bolster our air defense systems – a critical need as winter approaches and Russian strikes persist. We also need real progress in terms of range long-range capabilities. Additionally, a decision has been made that allows American contractors to work in Ukraine on equipment repairs and maintenance, which will expedite these processes.
I am also grateful to Canada for working with us to supply additional Nassams air defense systems.
The UK has taken new action this week, imposing sanctions on Russian entities fueling the war. This is important, and I thank for this. All Russian individuals and entities supporting their military-industrial complex should be isolated globally, reducing Russia’s capacity to avoid fair, real diplomacy and continue this war. Sanctions need to curb Putin’s overconfidence, and that is achievable.
Lithuania is preparing a new military aid package and collaborating with us on securing funds for weapon purchases and local production. Sweden – there are new decisions in both civilian and military support, particularly for maritime security.
I want to express our deep gratitude to every partner around the world who is helping us.”
