We also see changes in the overall situation in the war. First of all, as a result of our actions, Putin has shown his true interests, and this should be obvious to those who still believe that Putin is fighting to protect some of his people or his security interests. At the same time as our advance in the Kursk region is taking place, the Russian army continues its offensive operations in Ukraine. The most combat-ready units of the Russian Federation are involved in expanding the zone of occupation on our territory in the Donetsk region. This is a clear choice of Moscow. Putin wants to occupy Ukraine more than he wants to ensure security for Russia. He doesn't care about Russian land or people. He just wants to grab as much of our land and as many cities as he can as soon as it is important
He also added that Putin has already shed so much blood that Russian attempts to draw red lines are not working.
Instead, we must maintain our level of morale for the sake of our common values, so that they guide and define the world, not red lines that are soaked in blood. We must maintain our fighting spirit so that the world lives by the rules, so that it is governed by the law and we must ensure security for all nations. We want to end this war, we want peace, we want to save our people and our country. It is Putin who does not want peace and he is the one who is "obsessed" with territorial gains. He wants our cities, or the ruins that remain. We have to make Russia seek peace, we have to make Russian cities and even Russian soldiers think that they need peace. And it is realistic to put pressure on them to choose peace
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is ready to produce its own weapons to put pressure on Russia to return to the "real" world, but this requires funding from partners. The president called for this fall to be the hour when Russian aggression ends.
