We’re ready to make next week historic in many ways – Zelenskyy

Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared this in his evening video address on October 5.

"Currently, our teams – of Ukraine and of the United States, the teams of our other partners are working on preparing the Ramstein – substantive decisions, and, in general, next week’s meetings and negotiations. And this week can be positive for our defense, for our vision of how the war should end. We will do everything for it, we will do it one hundred percent. We will do it effectively," Zelenskyy said.

He emphasized that the world now has the necessary momentum to move forward according to the Peace Formula.

"This is our goal, our task – to guarantee Ukraine reliable peace and long-term security. This is possible only based on international law and without any bargaining over sovereignty or trading territories. Exactly as envisaged by the Peace Formula. Ukraine needs peace – real and just – guaranteed protection from war. This is possible only from strong positions. And only when both our people and our partners are truly united. This is what we are working for. I thank everyone who is helping us, and who, just like us, is ready to make next week historic in many ways," Zelenskyy said.

The president also applauded the success of Ukrainian soldiers in neutralizing Russian military targets.

"Every destroyed Russian military base, every destroyed Russian airbase, every destroyed warehouse with aerial bombs saves the lives of Ukrainians and provides real support for the front. And we will keep convincing our partners that our drones alone are not enough. More decisive steps are needed – and the end of this war will be closer. I am sure of it!" Zelenskyy asserted.

• On September 28, Zelenskyy stated that the next meeting in the Ramstein format will focus on executing the Victory Plan.
