Ukraine's actions aimed at increasing pressure on the Russian economy and reducing resources for waging war are influencing the mood of Russian citizens. More and more Russians want the war to end, but this does not indicate a change in their attitude towards Ukrainians. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference on July 16, reports UNN.

According to Zelenskyy, Russia's response to the increased pressure from Ukraine remains massive strikes with missiles and drones on Ukrainian cities.
Russia's response is felt equally by all of us - regardless of whether you are on Bankova Street, in Troieshchyna, Odesa, or Kharkiv. It is drones and missile strikes. We must not allow Russia to make us get used to the war
He noted that Ukraine continues to increase pressure on the aggressor state, while the Kremlin responds with new attacks. Zelenskyy cited changes in mood within Russian society as one of the indicators of the effectiveness of Ukraine's actions.
Thanks to our actions, they are experiencing a shortage of energy resources, and we are succeeding. Our main goal is to reduce the amount of money Russia spends on the war, and we see that it is working
At the same time, Zelenskyy stressed that he has no illusions about a possible improvement in Russians' attitude towards Ukraine and Ukrainians.
The number of people who have begun to treat us with respect has not increased. I do not believe in that
Reminder
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that deep strike operations against the Russian Federation during the war have had and continue to have a significant impact - work on them should continue. According to him, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will begin to understand reality after strikes on Moscow and other regions of the Russian Federation.
