Already, there are no peaceful initiatives in the world that Russia would not like it, they do not like everything, they only like ruins and murder - the Presidential address

These can only be overcome by force - the force of diplomacy, the power of sanctions, the power of weapons and technologies. The Russian army destroyed the lives of the peoples of the Caucasus. Destroyed life in Syria. They went even to Africa to sell their cruelty to the local tsar. Russia is proud of this, proud of being able to kill. And, honestly, this state has not learned anything more. Blow on Pryluky, Chernihiv region today. Russian drones killed the family of Ukrainian rescuer.

His life is dedicated to the rescue of others, and Russia is so with him and many other people . . . There were blows to Kharkiv, Sumy region, Donetsk region, Nikopol, in the communities of Zaporozhye, in the villages of Kherson region. And this is the everyday life that Russians, unfortunately, can afford. Unfortunately, the world allows them. But we see how many people in the world are with us. These days our team meets in Washington - government officials, military, office team.

Thank you for the support of everyone who was at briefings from the Ukrainian delegation. In particular, there were meetings in Congress, with representatives of the US administration, communication with journalists, with representatives of public organizations. There is understanding and support. We very much count on strong steps. This is what is now deficit. And that can make even such scum in Moscow feel that they will not pull the war. This must be ensured.

And this requires new and sufficient sanctions, especially from the United States. This requires clear political pressure for effective diplomacy. There are simply no peaceful initiatives in the world that Russia would not reject. They don't like everything. They only like ruins and murders. They have to be responsible for it. And a few more things. There was a report on Prime Minister Denis Shmigal today about his talks in France. There is a decision on additional renewal funds in Ukraine.
