President Volodymyr Zelenskky: “I thank all the leaders who are in Ukraine and with Ukraine today, and who have supported Ukrainians throughout all these years of struggle.

“It is extremely important that we are all together today, speaking with one voice. Global unity is stronger than any of Russia’s alliances. And as long as we all stand firm, we will surely secure peace for a normal life for our people.”

The coalition of the willing (CoW) is a coalition of 34 countries (plus Ukraine) that have pledged strengthened support for Ukraine against Russia.
