True Peace Is Only Achieved by Those Who Are Truly Brave

Today is indeed a special day, and one piece of news is grabbing everyone's attention around the world. The absolutely convincing election results in America. A clear leadership of President Trump. I congratulate him on this victory.
In general, it was extremely important for us in Ukraine and for all of Europe to consistently hear the words of the then-45th President of the United States about "peace through strength." And if this becomes the policy principle of the 47th President of the United States, America and the whole world will undoubtedly benefit from it. It is not without reason that Ronald Reagan is mentioned so often these days - people want confidence, they want freedom, a normal life. And for us, this means a life free from Russian aggression, and with a strong America, with a strong Ukraine, with strong allies. This year, we have already spoken with President Trump both by phone in July and in a face-to-face meeting in September; and those were good conversations.
We have ongoing interaction at the team level. As always, we certainly value the bipartisan support of the United States. We talked about all the points of the Victory Plan. At the meeting in New York, as well as at meetings in Washington - in Congress and at the White House. On defense, on the economy, and on the future after the war - we have the potential for stronger cooperation. This is what will make Ukraine, America, and the entire free world more successful.
