00:00Dear leaders, dear friends, and all those who can become our friends, because you want safety

00:08and peace just as much as we do. Today, no one but ourselves can guarantee security. Only strong

00:18alliances, only strong partners, and only our own weapons. The 21st century isn't much different

00:27from the past. If a nation wants peace, it still has to work on weapons. It's sick. But that's

00:36the reality. Not international law, not cooperation. Weapons decide who survives.

00:43Excellencies, you know perfectly well international law doesn't work fully unless you have powerful

00:52friends who are truly willing to stand up for it. And even that doesn't work without

00:59weapons. It's terrible, but without it, things would be even worse. There are no security guarantees

01:08except friends and weapons. No Ukrainian choice, this kind of reality. And knowing our people,

01:16they would have chosen a different priority. Ukrainians are peaceful people, but they are

01:22people who want to live, to live freely in their own independent country. That's why we invest in

01:32defense. For many nations, there is simply no other way left. Nations can speak about their pain from

01:40stages like this. But even during bloodshed, there isn't a signal. International institution that can

01:50truly stop it. That's how weak these institutions have become. What can Sudan or Somalia or Palestine or any

02:01other people living through war really expect from the UN or the global system? For decades, just statements

02:09and statements. And even everything happening in Gaza remains without a way out. Even now, Syria,

02:17after all the changes, still has to appeal to the world to ease the sanctions that are choking its

02:24economy. It has to ask and wait. Syria deserves stronger support from the international community.

02:33And as Russia's war against my country goes on, people are still dying every week. Yet there is no ceasefire

02:43because Russia refuses. Russia abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, and we have brought some of them

02:52back. And I thank everyone who's helped. But how long will it take to bring all of them home? Childhood

03:03slips away faster than adults are able to help. Look at Israel. Nearly two years have passed, and hostages

03:12still haven't been freed. They must be freed. But even that still hasn't happened. And for years, there have been no

03:20real answers to other threats, either chemical weapons and famine used as a weapon.

03:30Last year, at this assembly, I warned the world about the risk of radiation disasters, especially due to

03:39Russia's occupations of our as a Parisian nuclear power plant, the biggest in Europe. But nothing's changed.

03:47Nothing's. And yesterday, the plant went into blackout again. And Russia hasn't stopped selling even in areas

03:55near a nuclear facility. And because international, because of international institutions are too weak,

04:03this madness continues. Even being part of a long standing military alliance doesn't automatically mean

04:12you're safe. Just recently, 19 simple Russian drones violated Polish airspace. And only four were shut down.

04:23Luckily, they were not shahids or even wars. Otherwise, the results wouldn't have been horrific.

04:32Estonia had to call a UN Security Council meeting for the first time in history because Russian fighter jets

04:40deliberately entered its airspace. Moldova is defending itself again from Russia's interference.

04:50We are helping Moldova and Russia's trying to do to Moldova what Iran once did to Lebanon. And the global

04:58response, again, not enough. We have already lost Georgia in Europe. Human rights and the European nature of

05:07the state system are only shrinking there. Georgia is dependent on Russia. And for many, many years,

05:15Belarus has also been moving toward dependence on Russia. Europe cannot afford to lose Moldova too.

05:24It's important to remember, it's important to remember how the world once ignored the need to help

05:31Georgia after Russia's attack and how the moment was missed with Belarus. How Moldova must not be lost.

05:42And for Europe, supporting Moldova's stability is not costly, but failing to do so will come at a much

05:49higher price. That's why the EU needs to help Moldova now with funding and energy support, not just wars or

05:59political gestures. We must not forget about protecting the rights of people and the rights of nations in

06:09regions where these rights are under threat. The UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

06:17must apply everywhere. But the Taliban in Afghanistan dragged a whole country back into the Dark Ages.

06:28Cartels in some Latin America countries are more powerful than the government there. This is all about

06:34collapse of international law and the weakness of the international institutions. And so it's about

06:41the rise of weapons. Weapons decide who survives. Excellences, yesterday President Trump stood right here in

06:52this hole and God saved him from a murder attempt during the campaign. A shot was fired from a rifle and just

07:02a just a fraction of an inch saved his life. Just days ago, President, along with hundreds of thousands of

07:12Americans honored the memory of Charlie Kirk. Sadly, his life was cut short by a bullet. Once again,

07:21violence with a rifle in hand. We also mourned the Ukrainian woman, Yurina Zarutska. She was brutally killed

07:31with a knife here in America. The very country where she was seeking refuge from Russia's war. And almost

07:40every day when we open the news, we see headlines about violent attacks happening all around the world.

07:49Most of it is done with weapons. People are already used to. But weapons are evolving faster than our

08:00ability to defend ourselves. Now, there are tens of thousands of people who know

08:06how to professionally kill using drones. Stopping that kind of attack is harder than stopping any gun,

08:15knife or bomb. This is what Russia has brought with its war. It used to be that only the strongest

08:23countries could use drones because they were expensive and complex. Now, even simple drones can fly

08:30thousands of thousands of kilometers. War tech doesn't care about geography anymore. It's now reshaping

08:39reshaping it. Just recently, airports in Europe had to shut down because of drones. Authorities

08:46couldn't even say what kind of drones they were, who sent them or from where. Last week, North Korea

08:55announced the test of a tactical strike drone. That means even countries with limited resources can now

09:03build weapons that are dangerous to their neighbors. Ukraine and nations like Saudi Arabia know all too

09:12well how dangerous Iranian attack drones are. But what happens when all the types of drones become

09:19available even to small terrorist groups or cartels? The world moves too slowly to protect itself.

09:28And weapons move fast. Now companies are already working on drones that can shoot down other drones.

09:37And it's only a matter of time, not much before drones are fighting drones, attacking critical

09:43infrastructure and targeting people all by themselves, fully autonomous and no human involved except the few

09:52who control AI systems. Dear leaders, we are now living through the most destructive arms race in human

10:01history because this time includes it includes artificial intelligence. And if there are no real security

10:10guarantees except friends and weapons. And if the world can't respond even to all threats,

10:17and if there is no strong platform for international security, will there be any place left on earth

10:25that's still safe for people? We need global rules now for how AI can be used in weapons. And this is just

10:34as urgent as preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. We need to restore international cooperation,

10:42real working cooperation for peace and for security. A few years from now might already be too late.

10:49Ten years ago, war looked different and no one imagined that cheap drones could create dead zones,

10:58areas stretching for dozens of kilometers where nothing moves, no vehicles, no life. People used to imagine

11:06that only after a nuclear strike. Now it's drone reality. Mass-produced simple drones and without AI yet.

11:18Ukraine doesn't have the big fat missiles. Dictators love to show off in parades. But we do

11:25have drones that can fly up to two, three thousand kilometers. We had no choice but to build them

11:32to protect our right to life. Control over the sea used to depend on having a big navy. Ukraine doesn't

11:39have a big fleet, but we succeeded in the Black Sea. We pushed what's left of the Russian navy into remote

11:47base. And we did it with sea drones. That's how we protect our ports and maritime trade routes. Because

11:57Russia has left us no other choice. And our spiderweb operation, when cheap drones destroyed or damaged

12:05dozens of expensive Russian strategic bombers, became a real example for special forces around the world

12:13of what new weapons can do to old systems. These very Russian bombers attacked our cities. And

12:23none of this would have happened if Putin had not started this full-scale aggression, full-scale war.

12:32And every year that this war goes on, weapons become even more deadly. And only Russia deserves to be

12:40blamed for this. Dear leaders, to protect lives, Ukraine builds underground schools and underground

12:48hospitals. To protect lives, we have to spend more on protecting power stations from drone and missile

12:54attacks than on building sports facilities or cultural infrastructure. Ukrainian farmers are learning

13:03how to protect their equipment from Russia's FPV drone strikes. And for them, that challenge is far greater than

13:11climate change. Russia's war has put us in this situation. But do you have protection against similar

13:21threats? The facts are simple. Stopping this war now and with it, the global arms race is cheaper than

13:30building underground kindergartens or massive bunkers for critical infrastructure later. Stopping Putin now

13:38is cheaper than trying to protect every port and every ship from terrorists with sea drones. Stopping Russia

13:47now is cheaper than wondering who will be the force to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead.

13:56So we must use everything we have together to force the aggressor to stop. And only then do we have a real

14:06chance that this arms race will not end in catastrophe for all of us. If it takes weapons to do it, if it takes

14:15pressure on Russia, then it must be done. And it must be done now. Otherwise, Putin will keep driving the war

14:25further forward, wider and deeper. And we told you before, Ukraine is only the first. And now Russian drones

14:34are already flying across Europe. And Russian operations are already spreading across countries. And Putin wants

14:42to continue this war by expanding it. And no one can feel safe right now. So first, we are now building a new

14:52security architecture for ourselves. More than 30 countries are already part of our coalition. And we

14:59are strengthening the army, launching joint weapons production with partners and defining financial

15:05commitments for defense in a way that could become a security model for any other nation. If security

15:12guarantees work for Ukraine something more than just France and weapons, it will mean that people were able

15:20to make national security not a privilege for a few nations, but a right for everyone. Second,

15:28we are ready to make our modern weapons become your modern security, your modern weapon. And we have

15:35decided to open up arms exports. And these are powerful systems tested in a real war when every

15:42international institution failed. And we are also ready to grow our defense production together with strong

15:49partners so that their protection is modern and reliable. You don't need to start this race from

15:55scratch. We are ready to share what has already proven itself in real, real defense. And third,

16:03many in the world are still relaxed. Still. But look at how many countries are here, at this General

16:13Assembly, countries that are at war, or just came out of war, or are trying to stop one, or openly getting

16:25ready for one. War has already reached too many people to pretend it has nothing to do with you. So it depends

16:36on you. Whether you help peace or continue trading with Russia and helping Russia to fund this war, it

16:45depends on you whether prisoners of war will be freed, whether abducted children will come home, whether

16:53hostages will be free. It depends on you what will define existence. War like now or our joint strong

17:03actions as it should be. Yesterday, yesterday we had a good meeting with President Trump. And I also spoke

17:12with many other strong leaders. And together we can change a lot. Of course, of course, we are doing

17:21everything to make sure Europe truly helps. And of course, we count on the United States. I appreciate the

17:28support we are receiving. Yes, much depends on the G7 and G20. But in the end, peace depends on all of us,

17:41on the United Nations. So don't stay silent while Russia keeps dragging this war on. Please speak out

17:50and condemn it. Please join us in defending life and international law and order. People are waiting

17:59for action. Thank you so much. Slava Ukraini.
