I addressed the Three Seas Summit, emphasising the urgent need to strengthen Ukrainian air defense—with real action, not just words.

To ensure that Russian missiles do not fly over Vilnius, Warsaw, or Chisinau, they should finally not fly over Odesa and Kharkiv.

Russian strikes ranged from Kharkiv and Kyiv to Odesa and Lviv. One of the Russian terrorists' targets was close to the Polish border. Our rescuers, power engineers, and repair teams have been working throughout the day to eliminate the consequences of the attack.

Every day, Russian terrorists cut off power to Kharkiv and other cities, and every day we hear that new aid is coming soon. The reality must finally match the words, and Russian terror’s real losses must be ensured.

All of Russia’s neighboring states and every nation whose lives may be within the range of Russian aircraft and missiles are in danger. Each of you can see how Russian propagandists are fueling hatred against your countries.
— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) April 11, 2024
Russian-controlled hatred precedes Russia’s guided aerial bombs, missiles, and "Shahed" drones. Each of Russia's neighbors is a target, just like Ukraine. That is why we must multiply our joint efforts to ensure common security.

Second, advocating for assistance to Ukraine now means advocating for every country's own security in our region. I thank all of you who are in contact with other partners and are using all means of diplomacy, media, and political work to promote military aid for our soldiers.
— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) April 11, 2024
Third, I thank all of you who have provided and are providing weapons to Ukraine. It really helps. Our joint defense projects with you also help, and we need to create as many defense industries as possible that will directly work for our common security.

Fourth, our unity. Please strengthen the unity in the EU. Moscow should feel that there is more unity in Europe than any contradictions. Of course, every society may have doubts about the decisions made in Brussels. But such doubts should not become Moscow's weapons.

We must use the time we have to get closer to each other without losing a single day, let alone a month. Now, in June, it will be right to actually start negotiations on Ukraine's EU accession.

Fifth, NATO shouldn't be afraid of its own existence or rules. The Baltic Sea has a historic chance for reliable security with Finland and Sweden in NATO. The Black Sea needs the same. As a democratic nation committed to shared values, Ukraine deserves to be invited to join NATO.
— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) April 11, 2024
We must work on strategic tasks. Putin wants to destroy Ukraine and the freedom of all of our region's nations. He sees no alternative. Similarly, we should not look for alternatives to our security; Ukraine needs an invitation to join NATO. Only you can make it real this year.
— Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) April 11, 2024
Dear friends, this year should be the time to take all the necessary steps to make our victory over Russian terror real. It is possible. But it is possible only if we are united—you, us, and all our partners—and if reality corresponds to our statements and agreements.
