Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak participated in the plenary session titled "European Integration Progress, Provision of Weapons by Foreign Partners, and Ensuring International Initiatives of the President of Ukraine." The discussion took place as part of the meeting of heads of Ukraine's foreign diplomatic missions. The event also included the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and deputy heads of the President's Office.
Andriy Yermak emphasized that the implementation of the Peace Formula is of utmost importance for Ukraine.
"The goal of the next Summit is to force Russia to respect Ukraine's sovereignty. You have a critical task ahead - ensuring maximum participation of countries in the thematic meetings of the Peace Formula, comprehensively upholding the Ukrainian vision and strongly opposing any attempts to promote so-called alternative peace plans," he said.According to Andriy Yermak, Ukraine's top priority is weapons, particularly bolstering air defense, securing modern aircraft, armored vehicles, and high-precision weapons. It is also crucial to intensify sanctions pressure on Russia.
"Sanctions are working, and we see that. But the full potential of this tool has not yet been realized. The plan remains unchanged: to strengthen restrictive measures against Russia, block sanction evasion, and hold the aggressor accountable," said the Head of the President's Office.
Andriy Yermak also emphasized that in the economic sphere, the key tasks are to attract investment, promote the export of Ukrainian goods, engage in recovery efforts and work on the use of frozen Russian assets.
