2022-12-13 15:11:01 In the evening of December 12, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the G7 summit.

The President emphasized that support for Ukraine should be continued. According to him, in addition to weapons, Ukraine needs financial, energy and social stability, as well as new diplomacy.

In his speech, Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed three steps to the G7 leaders that would speed up peace in Ukraine:

"The first is a new force. Ukraine needs modern tanks, constant artillery support with guns and shells. We need more rocket artillery and more long-range missiles. The more effective we are with such weapons, the shorter the Russian aggression will be.

The second is a new resilience. We must maintain financial, energy and social stability next year. Should we not lose in these aspects, we will win in everything else.

The third is a new diplomacy. Ukraine has always led the negotiation process and did everything to stop Russian aggression. Now we feel the opportunity to use diplomacy to bring the liberation of all our people and all our territories closer."
