Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on Telegram.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy summed up the first day of his visit to Armenia.
According to him, the meetings and talks took place on the eve of the European Political Community summit.
The Head of State noted that the first day was devoted to coordination between Ukraine and its European partners.
Zelenskyy outlined three key tasks that Ukraine is working on during the visit.
The first task is to bring about a dignified end to the war.
The President said he had briefed partners on the state of diplomatic efforts, possible prospects and planned contacts.
According to him, Ukraine needs joint action with its partners to step up diplomatic efforts and prevent any easing of pressure on Russia.
“Russia must end this war of its own making. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said.
The second task concerns the implementation of the €90 billion European support package for Ukraine.
According to the president, this funding is being expedited.
Zelenskyy identified the third priority as strengthening Ukraine’s air defence, energy support for Ukraine, and cooperation with partners in the energy sector.
The President noted that Ukraine is already actively preparing for the new heating season.
The state is also diversifying the relevant support.
Zelenskyy reported that he had informed partners of all of Ukraine’s needs for defence and reconstruction.
“I thank every partner who is ready to help,” added the head of state.
