I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
A few summaries for this day.
I am grateful to our defenders of the sky – just today a Russian aircraft was shot down in the area of Zmiinyi Island in the Black Sea. The aircraft was attempting to strike Odesa region. Another minus one for the terrorists. And we will continue to “subtract” the terrorists. We are strengthening our air defense, particularly in Odesa region. Gradually. Yet tangibly. I thank every country that helps.
Today I met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, which is one of the countries that support us the most, in particular in the issue of air defense. We discussed what has already been done. Among other things, we discussed the situation in the south of our country – the work of our export corridor, our grain exports. I spoke about the situation on the battlefield – about our capabilities. About the defense packages that are needed. Of course, among other topics, we managed to discuss European integration matters. Ukraine is fulfilling all the necessary requirements, and in the coming days, we expect the Ukrainian Parliament to adopt several crucial European integration bills, which are extremely important. Each deputy’s position will matter, and I am confident it will be rigorously evaluated by our entire society.
And a few of the most emotional moments today.
We are launching a new special initiative for all the Heroes of Ukraine – there are 360 of them since the beginning of the full-scale war. Every warrior and the family of a warrior who has been posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine will receive an apartment from the state. Not years from now, not someday, but now. Today, I had the honor of presenting the first documents for apartments to 21 Heroes of Ukraine. They are servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service. Among these 21, nine are fallen heroes. Soon, the state will provide apartments for all Heroes of Ukraine. All of them. Including those who fought before February 24, since 2014, the valiant men. This is fair.
It’s both highly symbolic and profoundly fair, that just before the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which we’ll be celebrating tomorrow, Ukraine is expressing gratitude to all its volunteers. To the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of caring Ukrainian men and women who joined the volunteer movement. During Maidan. During ATO. And now, in the time of full-scale war. Those who may feel tired but never give in to weariness. Who are always there to listen and help. Those who sometimes don’t have days off, because they know what the brigades need. Those en route to the frontlines at this very moment. Who, perhaps, is completing another important fundraiser right now. Those who provide vehicles, medical supplies, drones, and all that’s necessary. Speed and attentiveness – qualities the state still needs to learn. I thank each volunteer for being there for Ukraine. I thank all those who help in the frontline cities as well, help the internally displaced persons, the elderly, families with children. Those who contribute to the rehabilitation of the wounded. Those who understand the importance of offering warmth from compassionate hearts and the necessary support to families who have unfortunately lost loved ones in this war. I am thankful to each and every friendly nation’s citizens – who have become like family here because they are also with us, with Ukraine, sharing the need to win this war. To win because it’s about people. About humanity. It’s about how our world should differ from the dreadful times of the past. The light of the human soul must prevail.

Wagner mercenaries attack Russia alongside Ukraine in Avdiivka night assault.
The night assault was orchestrated by the Russian Volunteer Corps, a unit of Russians fighting against their homeland, which includes ex-Wagner troops and former soldiers from Russia’s Storm Z prisoner battalions. Video shows how the guns-for-hire rode into battle in US-made Bradley fighting vehicles, before storming Russian trenches with guns and grenades. They not only took the trenches, but repelled four counter-attacks and captured a Russian sergeant who was added to the prisoner exchange fund. Ukrainian sources said Wagner fighters ‘proved themselves to be excellent,’ fighting side-by-side with the Ukrainians and ’showing commanding qualities’.

On 4 December, during a working visit to Paris, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna met with Laurence Boone, Minister of State for Europe at the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France.
The main topic of the conversation was the European Council meeting to be held next week on 14-15 December. Olha Stefanishyna and Laurence Boone agreed on the next steps to ensure support among EU member states for decisions on Ukraine.
“Ukraine has already demonstrated substantial progress in implementing the necessary transformations on its path to EU membership. It is important to start accession negotiations this year, which will provide a clear framework for our country’s recovery and maintain the high momentum of reforms. We are grateful to France for its consistent support of our movement towards the EU and for its leadership on strategic issues for the future of Europe,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
She underlined the unprecedented nature of the European Council agenda, which places a special responsibility on the leaders of the Member States.
“It is difficult to recall another meeting with so many strategic issues on the agenda, from EU enlargement and reform, to the renewal of the dialogue with Turkey, to decisions vital for Ukraine. These include a four-year programme of financial assistance to Ukraine, the use of frozen russian assets for reconstruction needs, the adoption of a new sanctions package and strategic military support,” said Olha Stefanishyna.
For her part, Laurence Boone pledged unwavering support for Ukraine, including important decisions to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience and defense capabilities.
The French side praised Ukraine’s progress on the path of reforms. Olha Stefanishyna, for her part, provided information on the implementation of four additional steps identified by the European Commission in its report on Ukraine.
“The necessary legislative acts have already been prepared and will be considered by the Parliament this week. This will prevent any manipulation during the discussion on the opening of negotiations with Ukraine. As a candidate country, Ukraine has demonstrated the ‘gold standard’ for the implementation of the EU’s key principle of merit-based decision-making,” the Deputy Prime Minister stressed.

The Prime Minister reminded that in October, during a visit to Berlin, they together with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz launched cooperation between the Ukrainian defense industry and the German defense concern Rheinmetall.
