For us, the priority is our strong army. Therefore, these are "red lines" - no reductions in times of our army. To be honest, we will do everything to keep the army in the state in terms of numbers that it is today. A large army, which is three times larger than at the beginning of the war. An army that can only be modernized. These are the changes that can occur after the end of the war. Increase staffing, modernize

According to the President, another priority for Ukraine at the upcoming peace negotiations will be the non-recognition of the occupied territories as Russian.

Other geopolitical things - this is the non-recognition of any territories occupied by Russia as Russian. These are Ukrainian territories in any case, this is one of the most important "red lines" for us. In any case, these are temporarily occupied territories

He stressed that a just peace will come when all territories return.

Let us remind you
