Today we signed the Enhanced Partnership & Cooperation Agreement with Kyrgyzstan. This milestone agreement will strengthen our political dialogue & boost cooperation on green energy, critical raw materials, trade, connectivity, security and human rights.

Historic moment: Ukraine has officially begun accession negotiations with the European Union. We've worked hard to reach this point. Today we held the first intergovernmental conference, and we are committed to fulfilling every requirement to navigate through all chapters of our relations with the EU, culminating in an accession treaty for Ukraine. Secondly, our legal battle continues. New arrest warrants have been issued by the International Criminal Court for Russian war criminals. Shoigu, Gerasimov, your path to The Hague is open. Additionally, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled on Russia's responsibility for all the crimes committed in our Crimea against people and the law. The occupier will be held accountable. Thirdly, we are striving for a just peace for Ukraine and taking steps to fully restore security. Following the Peace Summit, we now have the eighth participant who has signed the joint communiqué. Pressure on Russia to put a fair end to this war is increasing. I thank everyone who believes, fights, helps, and works to achieve these results for Ukraine – in defending our people, strengthening our state, and bringing us closer to peace, a peace that Ukrainians deserve.
