He added that agreements had already been reached on several new support packages, both for defense and energy.

According to the president, these are the tasks that are difficult to achieve, but there is “no other way to defeat the enemy”.

At the same time, he thanked everyone who helps the nation and emphasized that "we must continue working together, in unity, to achieve results for all of us – for all of Ukraine."

"However, while this is happening, unfortunately, there are things going on here, in the rear of Ukraine, that make external enemies seem unnecessary. This is truly an internal enemy," the head of state noted, referring to the latest corruption-related exposures.
