Quote: "Putin is becoming weak. He is weakening politically, on the battlefield and physically. And that is why he may intensify strikes against us, against our people, with missiles and drones. Please use shelters. I beg you, I really do."

Details: The president summed up the results of the Ramstein meeting, noting that Ukraine has received confirmation from nine countries under the PURL programme, amounting to Patriot missiles worth more than US$1 billion. The EU will also be tightening sanctions.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine's partners understand that the Kremlin leader does not want to stop, and that all his talk of wanting peace is a lie.

At the same time, he noted that Ukraine is ready for negotiations in pursuit of peace, despite everything.

"Putin wants everything here to burn, and he is reckless – partners can sense this. Ukraine is ready for negotiations with him despite this," the president said.

Quote: "But Europe needs to fully engage so that we have a strong position. Fully engage in sanctions – without exceptions. On confiscation – without exceptions. And on funding for Ukraine, as well."
