Details
According to him, he heard a report from the Minister of Defense Rustem Umyerov and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Our soldiers have successfully destroyed Russian positions this week – the very positions from which they were shelling Ukraine, our communities, our people. Three "Iskander" launchers were destroyed in recent days – it was simply the destruction of murderers. There have also been downings of a Russian Su-35 military aircraft and damage to their military helicopters. There are also new attacks on Russian military logistics and airfields. This helps our defense – every complication for Russia matters to us.
He noted that Kyiv is aware that the Russians are now trying to show that they are not subject to any pressure.
But it is very important for the world to understand that just as pressure forced Russia to enter the negotiation process, pressure can force Russia to become a realist in the negotiation process. This is possible precisely as a result of pressure, and primarily sanctions on Russian oil and on those who still trade with Russia. Russia must end this war that it started. We need to put pressure on them to do so.
He thanked all partners who "are helping us in this – in new restrictions on Russia, in new sanctions."
"Please, do not remain silent about what is really happening, and let's work together for a real result of diplomacy. Not words, but peace. Ahead are summits of Southeast Europe, the "Group of Seven", the NATO summit, other international events – all this can help, should help save lives and bring peace closer," the President summarized.
