Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his desire to establish a consistent method of dialogue with Ukraine's ambassadors, according to Interfax-Ukraine's report from August 3. He directed Acting Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and his team, in conjunction with the Presidential Office and Kyrylo Budanov, to implement this new format of communication between annual top-level meetings.
President Zelenskyy also urged Ukrainian diplomats to extend their support to the Freyja anti-ballistic missile project. He highlighted that the Freyja system has the potential to evolve into a shared European defense mechanism, functioning as a common shield against ballistic missile threats which are on the rise globally. Zelenskyy clarified that Ukraine possesses the capability to fabricate both the missile and its launcher independently.
Nonetheless, he stressed the necessity of collaboration with European allies for obtaining essential components such as radars and sensors. The Freyja anti-ballistic missile coalition presently comprises Ukraine, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, alongside 12 defense manufacturers.
Zelenskyy affirmed that the project remains an open invitation for additional nations and companies to join. He emphasized that he expects all Ukrainian representatives involved in this project to offer their utmost support and achieve tangible outcomes.
