Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our security and defense forces, as well as use diplomacy to increase pressure on Russia. Our priority is to strengthen the protection of Ukrainian airspace against ballistic attacks and ensure the resilience of the power grid ahead of winter. We support the unity of Ukrainians by protecting their rights abroad and helping to preserve their ties and identity. We are advancing integration into the EU and NATO, cementing Ukraine’s new geopolitical role as a security partner and contributor, and developing pragmatic, good-neighborly ties with our partners. We are working to ensure economic stability and secure food exports amid these challenges
