Quote: "I held several meetings on our international work. First, the European Union. Next steps towards full membership. Yesterday, the European Commission finalised the Negotiating Framework. Next, we are waiting for the decision of European leaders on its approval. 

It will be an important and strong signal for both Ukraine and the entire European community to do everything possible to start negotiations as early as during the Belgian presidency in the first half of this year. This should be our common pace, both for Ukraine and the EU. We have a clear sequence of steps and I am confident that we can achieve the result. "

Details: The president also spoke about the strategic meeting on US policy direction.

Quote: "We discussed how to give more proper impulses to our work with partners and joint pressure on the Russian state throughout this year. Winning here in Ukraine in this confrontation with Russian terror is a matter of survival for democratic systems, a matter of what democracies are capable of. 

Ukraine is capable of defending itself, given sufficient support. And having defended ourselves, we can ensure that no other international criminal will be tempted by aggression like Putin. We can protect life and we must do so."
