Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a strong warning to Iran, urging Tehran to halt the supply of Shahed-type “killer drones” allegedly being used by Russia in attacks on Ukrainian cities. The remarks come amid growing international concern over Iran-Russia military cooperation and the expanding drone warfare landscape in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Zelensky has previously linked Iranian drone transfers to civilian destruction in Ukraine and warned that such military support risks widening the war’s global consequences.

00:00Right now, on the streets of Munich and other cities, people are calling for support for freedom in Iran.
00:07We saw it. And Ukraine does not share a border with Iran.
00:12And we have never had a conflict of interest with the Iranian regime.
00:18But the Iranian Shahid drones they sold to Russia are killing especially our people, Ukrainians,
00:25and destroying our infrastructure, the Iranian regime has already done and can still do more harm than many other regimes could do in a century.
00:37And yet, this regime still exists. And it hopes to survive everything, even this crisis.
00:44Today, the people of Iran expect from the world what we in Ukraine needed on February 24th,
00:51when the Russian invasion began, unity, determination, and speed.
00:58Of course, speed. Speed in support.
01:01And regimes like the one in Iran must not be given time.
01:06When they have time, they only kill more.
01:09They must be stopped immediately.
01:11And this is exactly what should have happened with the Ayatollah after all the wars his regime unleashed and all the lives it took.
01:22Dear friends, thank you for your attention to Ukraine, Ukrainian people,
01:29and for supporting our independence and our Ukrainians.
01:35And I want to especially thank those who stand with us not only in wars or not only in motions,
01:42not only in the hope for more security, but in real action, in real work, in concrete help,
01:52like Germany, like Mark, like Ursula, Antonio, Roberta,
01:59and all our friends from the United States and all our European friends.
02:05Thank you so much for all your support.
02:08And if you are a European leader and you meet Mark Rutte,
02:23you will definitely hear the word pearl.
02:29And not just once.
02:32It's very serious things, really.
02:34He starts and ends every conversation with a call to support pearl.
02:41And he's right to do so.
02:44Thank you, Mark.
02:47Pearl is a program that allows us to buy Patriot missiles in the United States
02:54and other weapons that protect Ukrainians from Russian attacks, of course.
02:59Most of the air defense missiles that can stop Russian ballistic missiles come to us thanks to Pearl.
03:07And Pearl exists because of Europe.
03:10It's true.
03:11Europe is paying for our ability to stop ballistic attacks.
03:18Thanks, everyone who helps us.
03:21And honestly, one of the worst things a leader can hear in wartime is a report from the Air Force commander saying the air defense units are empty.
03:41And they used their missiles to stop Russian strikes and there was no resupply and intelligence says a new massive attack may come in a day or two.
03:57Sometimes we managed to deliver new missiles for our Patriots or Nassoms just before an attack and sometimes at the last, very last moment.
04:06And I want to especially thank Germany, Norway, Netherlands for their strong leadership in Europe in giving us air defense systems.
04:15Thank you very much.
04:17These systems save our lives.
04:20And thanks to every European leader who invests in Pearl and in other joint defense programs.
04:28And I'm proud of our soldiers who repel Russian attacks and of our logistic teams who have kept this system working for four years.
04:41And I'm proud of our nation.
04:44And it is the courage and resilience of Ukraine that make the defense, that make the difference.
04:52And our people deserve gratitude.
04:54They deserve respect.
04:58Thank you so much.
05:04Four years of full-scale war today.
05:07I want to show you what that really means.
05:10And I want you to ask yourselves, are you ready not only for the challenges that Russian aggression brings, the challenges of modern war,
05:19but also for the constant effort to convince the world to fight for support, to defend your country's interests every single day, as Ukraine must do.
05:32The world is built on interests.
05:36And you have to work tirelessly to align interests and help partners see what this brings.
05:45And when you see what is coming, we will be able to convince those in power to act preventively, to stop the evil before it destroys everything.
05:57Right now, right now you can see a visualization of one of Russia's attacks.
06:06Many of you were already in here in Munich when this strike took place.
06:12Russia launched 24 ballistic missiles, one air-launched guided missile, and 200, can you imagine, 219 attack drones against our cities, Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa.
06:26Just one attack, just one night.
06:30Our air defense used the missile that arrived from our partners just a few days earlier.
06:36They came on Sunday, it's true, and on Thursday night, the missiles were already protecting our skies.
06:46And that is just one night, but Russian attacks happen almost every night in Ukraine.
06:52And at least once a week, massive strikes, still Ukraine has endured 1,451 days of full-scale war, longer than anyone predicted.
07:06And I want you to understand the real scale of these attacks on Ukraine.
07:11As you can see, in just one month, this January, we had, yeah, you see it, we had to defend against 6,000 attack drones.
07:22Most of them were Shahid drones.
07:25And 150 plus Russian missiles of different types.
07:30And more than 5,000 glide bombs.
07:34And it's like this every month.
07:37Imagine this over your own city, shattered streets, destroyed homes, schools, built underground.
07:47And this is daily life in Ukraine, of course, because of Russia.
07:50For four long years.
07:52Russia uses many ballistic missiles and carries out combined attacks.
07:59Most of the strikes target our power plants and other critical infrastructure.
08:05And there is not a single power plant left in Ukraine that has not been damaged by Russian attacks.
08:12Not one.
08:14But we still generate electricity.
08:18Thanks to our people.
08:19And we have kept our system running thanks to physical protection of the facilities.
08:35And thanks to everyone who helps us with air defense.
08:38Just as important, Ukraine still has power because of our people.
08:42Thousands of walkers who serve millions.
08:46And when I see our energy walkers, our repair crews, rescue teams, I see something that is often missing in politics.
08:56Through dedication.
08:58The ability to work at 100%.
09:01To act immediately in a real emergency.
09:05Not in a month.
09:06Not in a year or two.
09:08But they save lives here.
09:10They save lives now.
09:12All these years.
09:16And many politicians could learn and must, I think, must learn from ordinary rescuers,
09:23from ordinary repair crews, from ordinary electricians to act.
09:28How to act immediately.
09:29During this war, thank you.
09:38During this war, weapons evolve faster than political decisions meant to stop them.
09:46When the Iranian regime first gave Russia the Shahid drones, they were simple weapons.
09:54They could be shut down easily.
09:57Now the Shahid is different.
10:00It has a jet engine.
10:02It can fly at different altitudes.
10:05It can be guided by an operator in real, by the way, in real time.
10:10And it can use Starlink to reach its target.
10:13It can even carry other drones, acting as a, how we say, mother drone for FPVs.
10:21War reveals forms of evil we did not expect.
10:25And the longer a war continues, the more resources the aggressor receives.
10:31The more dangerous the consequences becomes, the more dangerous the evolution of weapons
10:37and of war itself, and the evolution of Putin.
10:44And I remember how the full-scale war was seen in the first year.
10:49And we were told that support would continue, but not at the scale and speed needed for Ukraine to win.
10:55It's true.
10:56Or for Russia to lose.
10:58And what did that mean?
11:01It meant time.
11:02The idea was that America could manage the pace of the war and the risk of escalation
11:09to reach a point where Russia would no longer be able to attack.
11:13And Ukraine would agree not to return its occupied territories.
11:17Bob Woodward wrote about this approach of the previous administration, U.S. administration in his book War.
11:26And he described how U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said,
11:32We own the clock.
11:34And Austin had told Jake Sullivan numerous times, numerous times, we own the clock.
11:44And Woodward writes that Sullivan was constantly learning from him.
11:49And of course, we are grateful, we are grateful for all the supplies we received.
11:55But you saw how it was, how long we had to push, to push, to push, to be allowed to get stronger and stronger weapons.
12:06Months for HIMARS, months for tanks, years for aircraft.
12:12Everything took time.
12:13This did not make the situation easier for anyone.
12:17Because in war, in war, the war itself owns time.
12:24And it uses the time against people, of course.
12:28That is why not a single day, not a single opportunity to protect life can be wasted.
12:33Everyone who seeks security and peace must understand this.
12:41Everyday matters.
12:43And I am grateful to every American heart that was helping us no matter what.
12:51Without you Americans, Europeans, and everyone who stands with us,
12:55it would have been very, very difficult to hold on.
12:58Thank you very much.
12:59Right now, on the streets of Munich and other cities, people are calling for support for freedom in Iran.
13:14We saw it.
13:15And Ukraine does not share a border with Iran.
13:19And we have never had a conflict of interest with the Iranian regime.
13:24But the Iranian Shahid drones they sold to Russia are killing especially our people, Ukrainians,
13:31and destroying our infrastructure.
13:34The Iranian regime has already done and can still do more harm than many other regimes could do in a century.
13:42And yet, this regime still exists.
13:46And it hopes to survive everything, even this crisis.
13:51Today, the people of Iran expect from the world what we in Ukraine needed on February 24th,
13:58when the Russian invasion began.
14:01Unity, determination, and speed.
14:04Of course, speed.
14:05Speed in support.
14:07And regimes like the one in Iran must not be given time.
14:12When they have time, they only kill more.
14:16They must be stopped immediately.
14:18And this is exactly what should have happened with the Ayatollah.
14:22After all the wars, his regime unleashed and all the lives it took.
14:28And with Putin, with Putin as well, after the war in Georgia, after Syria, after 2014, and the occupation of Crimea.
14:38But even in these conditions, when we cannot know how long this war will last, we do everything to keep life going.
14:46And today, Ukraine has more experience than anyone in the world in defending against all types of drones.
14:54Every night, every night we face fewer than 100 Tchechi drones.
15:00Some nights, there are 400 or even 500 attack drones.
15:06And Ukraine has shut down almost 90.
15:09Can you imagine?
15:1090% of them.
15:13But still, not 100.
15:16And we are doing everything to increase that rate.
15:20Among other tools, we use different types of interceptors.
15:23And what you see now are real videos of those interceptors, by the way.
15:29Together with our partners, we are producing more and more of them each day.
15:34And we will reach the point where we produce enough.
15:37Enough to make Shahid drones meaningless for Russia.
15:41But the key words here are together.
15:44Together with partners.
15:47And there is no country in Europe that could rely only on its own technology and money to defend itself.
15:55In a full-scale war, no one would stand alone.
15:58That is why, while we invest in interceptors and protection, Russia invests in breaking unity between all of us.
16:07Our unity with you.
16:09Unity in Europe.
16:10Unity in the Euro-Atlantic community.
16:13They want to break it.
16:15Why?
16:16Because our unity is the best interceptor against Russia's aggressive plans.
16:23The best one.
16:24And we still have it.
16:26And I want to thank you, each of you, who keeps unity alive and makes it stronger.
16:41Our unity is what protects us.
16:45Hundreds of production sites are already operating in Ukraine and in partner countries.
16:51And we have the Danish model, tanks matter, your team, your people, investing in weapons production in Ukraine.
16:57We have joint drone production here in Germany.
17:01And it officially started yesterday.
17:03Thanks to everybody and to Friedrich.
17:05And we have the Joint Artillery Initiative with Czechia.
17:09I see.
17:10Peter, hi.
17:12Thank you so much.
17:12And we are doing a lot together with the Nordic countries, with the UK and France, Netherlands, Italy and Poland and the United States, Canada and Turkey.
17:24There are important changes in Japan, thanks to Prime Minister, government.
17:28And we all value that Japan stands with us in the Coalition of the Willings.
17:33And there are strong decisions from Europe, including 90 billion euros for two years for us.
17:40Thank you so much.
17:42And this is a serious guarantee of Ukraine's financial stability.
17:53And thank you for every strong decision for all our joint work.
17:57But let's not close our eyes to the problem.
18:01And Russia still has accomplices, regimes like North Korea and companies across the globe,
18:07many of them from China that bypass sanctions and provide components for Russian weapons, Russian missiles.
18:15On top of that, Putin still has guarantees of financial stability.
18:20A large part of those guarantees lies here, in Europe, in European seas.
18:26I mean, Russian oil tanks still move freely.
18:29Freely, freely along Europe's shores, in the Baltic Sea, in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean.
18:37In total, Russia still uses more than 1,000 tankers.
18:42Each of them is, in fact, a floating wallet for the Kremlin.
18:48And I recently discussed this with President Macron, with President von der Leyen and with other leaders
18:55and thanked them for their willingness to fix this.
18:59We spoke about updating European legislation so that Russian tankers cannot only be detained, but blocked.
19:06This is important to block all these tankers.
19:09And they are all confiscated.
19:11The way the United States acts against shadowless tankers near its own shores.
19:17And it works, really.
19:19Without all money, Putin would not have money for this war.
19:24Let's make it possible.
19:26And now I want to speak about the cost.
19:29Cost of war on the ground.
19:32What does one month of war mean for Putin?
19:36Just in December, our forces eliminated 35,000 occupying soldiers.
19:44Killed and badly wounded.
19:45In January, there were fewer Russian assaults.
19:49And as a result, Russia's losses were about 30.
19:53About 30,000 killed and badly wounded.
19:56There is even a clear price Russia pays for every kilometer of occupied Ukrainian land.
20:02On the Donetsk front.
20:05It's one of the most intense areas.
20:08And everybody knows about it.
20:10The price Russia pays for one kilometer now is 156 soldiers.
20:17Putin is not concerned about this now.
20:20But there is a level at which he will start to care.
20:24I'm sure.
20:25Every month, Russia mobilizes about 40,000 people.
20:30A little bit more.
20:3142, 43.
20:32Sometimes not all of them reach the front line.
20:35So overall, the size of the Russian contingent in Ukraine is not growing this year.
20:40For our army, the mission is clear to destroy more Russian occupiers because they are occupiers.
20:48And the goal is specific.
20:50At least 50,000 per month.
20:53Even for Russia, that would be serious.
20:56I'm sure.
20:57And it would affect Putin's decisions.
21:00Because we are speaking mainly about front line troops.
21:03Those leading the assaults and attacks.
21:06Mr. Ishinger said in an interview before this conference that as long as Ukraine is defending Europe, the danger is not so great.
21:20And if we speak plainly and maybe a bit cynically, that is more or less the situation today.
21:29But look at the price.
21:33Look at the price.
21:35Look at the pain Ukraine has gone through.
21:38Look at the suffering Ukraine has faced.
21:43It's Ukrainians who are holding the European front.
21:48Behind our people stand an independent Poland and the free Baltic states.
21:54There can be a sovereign Moldova.
21:56And Romania without dictatorship.
21:59And even one victor can think about how to grow his belly, not how to grow his army to stop Russian tanks from returning to the streets of Budapest.
22:11But none of our people choose to be such heroes.
22:24Ukraine did not choose Ukraine did not choose this war.
22:28And it's strong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine back forever.
22:39Ukrainians are people, not terminators.
22:46Our people are dying too.
22:48And that is why we are doing everything to stop this war and to guarantee security.
22:55But the problem is that Putin is no longer interested in anything else.
23:01Putin does not live like ordinary people.
23:04He doesn't walk the streets.
23:08You will not see him in a cafe.
23:11His grandchildren do not go to the normal, normal kindergarten in their hometown.
23:18He cannot imagine life without power or after power.
23:23Normal things do not interest him.
23:25Putin consults more with Tsar Peter and Empress Catherine about territorial gains than with any living person about real, real life.
23:41Can you imagine Putin without war?
23:44Be honest.
23:46Right now his focus is on Ukraine.
23:49And no one in Ukraine believes he will ever let our people go.
23:55But the will, but he will, will not let other European nations go either, because he cannot let go of the very idea of war.
24:07He may see himself as a Tsar, but in reality he is a slave to war.
24:14And if he lives another 10 years, we can understand it can be.
24:21War can return or expand.
24:24That is why we say there must be real security guarantees for Ukraine and for Europe, strong security guarantees.
24:35And we know clearly what those guarantees must include.
24:39And we have strong agreements ready, ready to sign with the United States and with Europe.
24:44We think that the agreement on security guarantees should come before any agreement to end the war.
24:51Those guarantees answer the main question, how long there will be no war again.
24:56And we hope President Trump hears us.
24:59We hope the Congress hears us.
25:03We hope American people hear us.
25:06And we are grateful for all the real help.
25:22We are doing everything, truly, everything to end this war.
25:26And this war can end and security can be guaranteed.
25:29Before the invasion began, we told the world, act now, please.
25:36Act preventively, so the invasion does not happen.
25:40And I sent our commander-in-chief at that time, it was General Zaluzhny, to speak with the American side and to explain what Ukraine needed to defend itself.
25:50And I said, tell them we need javelins, stingers, and real weapons, something real to stop the Russian army, so they see we are not standing with bare hands.
26:01It was very important, but the most practical advice General Milley could give Ukraine at that time was simply dig trenches.
26:12And that is the answer my commander-in-chief brought back.
26:16Just imagine hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on your borders, massive military equipment, and all you hear is dig trenches.
26:31So, if Russian troops enter Lithuania, God bless, no, just like example, if or another country on NATO, NATO's eastern flank, what will the allies hear then?
26:44Will they hear that help is on the way, hope so, or will they hear dig trenches, or something else?
26:56We must have the ability to give a strong response to that threat.
27:00And that is why we are talking about a joint European defense policy.
27:06That is why we need American backstop.
27:08That is why Europe needs Ukraine.
27:11The Ukrainian army is the strongest army in Europe.
27:14Thanks to our heroes, and it's simply, and it's simply, I think it's simply not smart to keep this army outside NATO.
27:27But, but at the very, but at the very least, let that be your friends, your decision, not Putin's decision, please.
27:46And today, among the things that unite Europe most strongly, there is also fear, not fear that Ukraine might one day join NATO, but fear about whether NATO will even exist.
28:07But we, we support NATO, and hope that NATO will be, each day, stronger and stronger.
28:15God bless.
28:16And right now, much of our cooperation with Europe and with other NATO partners and cooperation inside the alliance, including the historic decision to move toward 5% of GDP on defense, is a response to that fear.
28:31I think it's a correction of past mistakes, and it is an investment in the future, security, and it is a guarantee that NATO will not only exist, but will act if, God forbid, it's ever needed.
28:47Dear ladies and gentlemen, more and more often, now many former officials from different countries say that, say they warned about this war, and that they said the invasion would happen.
29:04They remember what they said, and, and in most cases, they, they greatly improve their own story, but none of them can say what they actually did, what they did to prevent the invasion.
29:22All these stories are about one thing, just one thing, shifting responsibility away from themselves.
29:29And what did Russia see in 2021, Putin set as an equal with the president of the United States, engineer, and he felt he, he could reshape Europe and the world, at least.
29:47And there were no preventive sanctions against Russia, and there were no serious defense packages to show that we could stand up to Russia.
29:55Look now, look now, our great guy, our athlete, Vladislav Groskiewicz.
30:06And he, he was disqualified at the Olympics, Olympics simply for the intention to wear a helmet showing the faces of athletes killed by Russia in this war.
30:20And he, and he was disqualified for the intent, when in 2021, we clearly saw Putin's intent and asked for preventive sanctions to stop the invasion, we were told, first, there must be a crime, and only then can there be punishment.
30:42And Kamala Harris, and Kamala Harris, I remember, said this, but with Russia, you cannot leave a single loophole Russians can use to start a war.
30:52As they say in Russia, first, get into the fight, and then we'll see what happens.
31:01That is how they do everything.
31:03That is how they start wars.
31:06And that is how they conduct negotiations, not to end the war, but to avoid ending it, and just to buy time.
31:13As people now look back at the time before the Russian invasion, what will, what will be said about this moment four years from now?
31:24And will some of today's powerful leaders look for ways to avoid responsibility and to justify themselves?
31:35There were different options before the invasion.
31:38There are options now.
31:39I think so.
31:40I think so.
31:41And when we say that Russia must not be rewarded for this war, we are saying the same thing we said before the invasion.
31:50Russia must not be given hope that it can get away with this crime.
31:56Everyone must respond already at the stage of intent, the intent to kill, the temptation to continue aggression.
32:03Please remember the moment when Russia began to take diplomacy most seriously during these four years.
32:13It was when our deep strikes against Russian oil refineries began to work.
32:19And when everyone started talking about tomahawks.
32:23That shows exactly how to deal with Russia, and what Russia actually hears, it hears strength.
32:31The stronger we are, the more realistic peace becomes.
32:35A lot of time now is spent on negotiations.
32:38We truly hope that the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, substantive, helpful for all of us.
32:49But honestly, sometimes it feels like the sites are talking about completely different things.
32:56The Russians often speak about some spirit of encourage.
33:00And we can only guess what they really mean.
33:06The Americans often return to the topic of concessions.
33:11And too often those concessions are discussed in the context only of Ukraine, not Russia.
33:20Europe is practically not present at the table.
33:24It's a big mistake to my mind.
33:27And it is...
33:30We, I think we, Ukrainians, we, Ukrainians who are trying to bring Europe fully into the process
33:38so that Europe's interests and voice are taken into account.
33:43This is very important.
33:45And Ukraine keeps returning to one simple point.
33:48Peace can only be built on clear, clear security guarantees.
33:53Where there is no clear security system, war always returns.
33:58Ukraine will do everything, truly, everything to make these negotiations successful.
34:05We have invested in this process.
34:07And we are in constant contact with Steve Vitko, with Jared Kushner, and with everyone President Trump appoints.
34:14Today, we are meeting with Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Ukraine was the result of all these efforts to be real security and real peace.
34:26Real peace.
34:27Not what came out of Geneva in 2021.
34:32Not what the Russians hope for from this so-called spirit of anchorage.
34:41And it seems Putin hopes to repeat Munich.
34:45And not Munich, 2007, when they only spoke about dividing Europe, but Munich, 1938, when previous Putin began dividing Europe in reality.
35:00It would be an illusion to believe that this war can now be reliably ended by dividing Ukraine, just as it was an illusion to believe that sacrificing Czechoslovakia would save Europe from a great war.
35:16And when people ask today, what the price of a deal could be, our answer is simple.
35:23The main thing is that in four years, the civilized world is not forced to justify itself again, to shift the responsibility, and not forced again to look for someone else to blame.
35:37Dear friends, Ukraine is ready for a deal that brings real peace to us, to Ukraine, to Europe.
35:53And I am confident that this war can be ended, and ended with dignity.
35:58This is the most important for us, with dignity.
36:01And we have given our partners everything we believe such a deal must include.
36:06And we are ready to invest in common security, everything we have learned while defending ourselves during these years of this war.
36:14And we can clearly answer most of the security questions that were raised at the conference yesterday, and that will be raised today.
36:23And right now, as we work together to protect lives in Ukraine, we are building a new system, a new security, a new response architecture, new approaches to protect lives in any European country when needed.
36:37Our wall of drones is your wall of drones, our expertise in drones is a part of your security, our ability to stop assaults and Russian sabotage can also be part of your, your defense.
36:51Europe needs a real common defense policy, just as it already has so much in common in the economy, in law and in social policy.
37:00Please, pay attention to Ukraine.
37:04And if exactly that had happened earlier, this war would not have begun.
37:15Slava Ukraine.
