From the very beginning, you saw that President Trump's position was to put pressure on both sides. It's true, and I believe that we were pressured more than Russia. That's what I think. But Ukraine has been demonstrating step by step that it is standing. Fighting for itself. But we are just not going to lose our lives and our land. That's the answer
The President emphasized that Ukraine step by step followed the path of diplomacy, making compromises. Including in relation to the aggressor state.
Step by step, we confirmed this at various diplomatic venues, agreeing to many different compromises. Without any conditions, but we have many conditions and that was also a compromise with the aggressor. But if America took the appropriate steps, we went for it
Also, the head of state added that it is necessary to increase pressure on Russia, in particular through sanctions.
Pressure cannot be one-sided and we want there to be pressure on Russia. At least sanctions
