Distinguished colleagues, fellow Ukrainians.

We have had an eventful week. A significant number of international meetings. The Crimean platform. A Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen.

During our meeting in Kyiv, the Prime Minister of Latvia announced a new military assistance package for Ukraine.

We discussed with the British Foreign Secretary the mechanisms of how Ukraine could receive USD 50 billion from frozen russian assets this year.

During the meeting with the Prime Minister of Croatia, our countries signed two documents in the field of education and justice that will contribute to our further European integration. A leading Croatian demining company opened a representative office in Ukraine.

With U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, we paid a lot of attention to energy sector, its protection, and financial support for Ukraine.

With the Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Matteo Patrone, we discussed the implementation of various energy and infrastructure projects, including the water supply of Mykolayiv.

With regard to financial support, this week we have reached an agreement with the IMF at the expert level on the fifth revision of our USD 15.6 billion programme.

Ukraine is implementing all the reforms and structural beacons. We expect another tranche of USD 1.1 billion from the IMF in the near future.

The financial support of our partners helps our Government to finance non-military expenditures, social programmes, and rapid recovery projects.

One such project is the demining of our land.

Thousands of sappers from the State Emergency Service and the State Special Transport Service are working every day to inspect and clear our land of mines.

However, the scale of the work is so large that we need additional tools. Hence, we are creating a humanitarian demining market and engaging private mine action operators.

We are now paying a lot of attention to the demining of agricultural land. Agrarians working in the de-occupied territories are fully compensated for the costs of humanitarian demining. The state budget contains UAH 3 billion as financing for this programme.

Since the beginning of the year, sappers have surveyed more than 200,000 hectares of fertile land, cleared it of mines and handed it over to farmers so they can sow and harvest again.

Top 3 regions in demining since the beginning of the year: Kherson, Kharkiv and Mykolayiv.

The most modern equipment, drones and robotic systems are used for demining. It is more and more new demining equipment is being produced by Ukrainian manufacturers.

As part of the Made in Ukraine policy, the state will support such production.

We will also increase the number of sappers. We are opening a special training centre for this purpose

There is still a lot of work to be done in this area, but thanks to the support of foreign partners from around the world, we will clear Ukraine of russian mine debris.

I am grateful to everyone who is developing their business in Ukraine today.

I am grateful to everyone who defends Ukraine. I am grateful to everyone who works to make Ukraine strong.

Thank you for your attention. Glory to Ukraine!
