Russia must feel the consequences of its actions. Sufficient countermeasures are needed to force it to peace. This can be achieved with sufficient strength in our army, our long-range capabilities, strong sanctions against Russia, and strong pressure. We are currently defending ourselves against Russian attacks almost daily. This week, there were over 1,500 attack drones, over 1,280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types. Thousands of foreign components – more than 132,000 – from various countries have been found in these weapons. Europe, America, China, Japan, and dozens of others

The President emphasized that all these technologies help Russia create weapons on a large scale.

All for the sake of terror against our people. And if Russia is not stopped, it will certainly become a threat to the countries of Europe and the Pacific region. Strong sanctions are a tool that will help stop this. It is necessary to block all possible supply routes, circumvention of sanctions, and put pressure on countries and individual companies that help them. Partners have this power - the power that must protect lives

He emphasized that Ukraine expects the 19th package of EU sanctions to be truly painful and that the United States will join the Europeans.
