ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY

“There are hundreds of directions of relations in the world in which Ukraine needs a real, concrete, tangible result. And this is precisely the work of our diplomats. To be in all the necessary offices, to be in the media, to be in communication with all the people necessary for Ukraine and to be understood – so that Ukraine has what it needs.

Thank you to all those who work in this way – who work not just for fatigue at the end of the working day or for the gratitude of their immediate supervisor, not from 9 am to 6 pm, but for the result for Ukraine.

To be the ambassador of Ukraine, to be a Ukrainian diplomat, is to be a person who can answer absolutely specifically the question of what exactly you have done to bring us closer to peace, to protect the interests of Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Today, I congratulated the workers of Ukrainian diplomacy on their professional day and named the main priorities and guidelines for the work of diplomacy in the coming year.”

We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together we are a force! Glory to Ukraine!
