"Ukraine has completed repair work on the section of the Druzhba oil pipeline that was damaged by a Russian strike."

"We must continue systematic sanctions pressure on Russia over this war and work on further diversifying energy supplies to Europe."

"This is not the first time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russia’s nuclear blackmail and threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable."

"It was [a] critical infrastructure facility. And an extremely vile Russian attack."

"Russia consciously struck this nuclear infrastructure facility."

"As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts."

"extremely vile"

"For Ukraine, it has always been a priority that Europe’s position and voice in the negotiations be strong."

"I said that we will not go [for that]. We will not give you a victory in that way."

"He came to Kyiv. He said: 'I have brought a message directly to you, and I want to take a message from you and deliver it to Vladimir Putin.'"

"Anything substantial will happen before the end of summer."

"Ukraine will not give up Donbas."

"They wanted to hear our position directly."

"Putin wants to continue the war."

"He came to Kyiv. He said 'I brought a message direct to you, and I want to take messages from you and to give it to Vladimir Putin.'"

"It was the key message. I said we will not leave. We will not give you a victory in such way."

"The reaction had disappointed many people around the world and demonstrated the Kremlin's unwillingness to end the war."

"Ukraine is now aiming to contract a minimum of 50,000 UGVs, including the Droid TW 12.7 for combat operations, branding them as the 'next major step' after combat drones in a rapidly shifting battlefield."

"Ukraine is building a 'clear diplomatic strategy to ensure that Russia does not believe the war can still yield any benefits for it.'"

"These are concrete things to strengthen our joint defence and co-production, and, importantly, this also means Ukraine's expertise and experience helping to strengthen our partners."

"We thank Latvia for all the support it has provided to Ukraine throughout this war."

"We did this in the Middle East and it worked. Now we are ready to do the same with our close partners in Europe."

"A drone deal is not only about selling or buying something. It also covers important issues such as the ones we are discussing now."
