President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone conversation with the new President of Portugal António José Seguro.
The Head of State congratulated António José Seguro on his election victory and wished him success.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Portugal has strongly supported Ukraine since the very beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.
"Thank you for the assurance that defense, financial, humanitarian, and political assistance will continue. We also appreciate Portugal's participation in the PURL initiative and count on additional contributions," the President of Ukraine said.
The leaders discussed the possibility of joint weapons production, the participation of Portuguese businesses in Ukraine's recovery, and our country's path to membership in the European Union. Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Portugal for its clear position on Ukraine's European future.
