Russia for months has been constantly increasing the number of impact in strokes - Presidential appeal

I also want to thank all political figures, public leaders, every media - all who spread information about Russian strikes in our cities and our villages. It is vital so that there is no silence in response to Russian escalation, and it is obvious that there is escalation. Russia has been steadily increasing the number of impact in strokes for months.

This is a steady trend, which means that in Moscow they are not afraid of anyone in the world - none of those who called for the cessation of murder and meaningful negotiations about the end of the war. Putin wants to kill in the future and uses that he does not receive a strong answer. Washington they don't hear. And it is a lot of things to say - everyone. An important step in the European Commission is an announced new sanction package.

I thank you that this 18th package is concentrated on Russian energy and banks. The right direction for pressure. But you still need to fill this package with strong details. Russia's ability to continue the war is equal to the ability to sell their oil and bypass financial barriers. That is why it is necessary to limit the Russian tanker fleet, their technological capabilities of production and processing, as well as to do everything to make the price of Russian oil lower than they can withstand.

Each partner knows which price kep needs-$ 30, not higher. This price level will mean real pressure on Russia - they must be forced to look for peace. Other motives are not understood there. I know that partners are currently discussing the compromise price. There is enough compromise with Russia. Each such compromise is a sedimentation of peace. We ask us to really reduce the price of Russian oil, that is, to realistically bring the end of the war.

And especially I want to thank the United States of America, who is betting on force, in particular on the power of diplomacy through sanctions. Today there were reports of the military, spoke separately with the Minister of Defense Umerov. About our opposition to drones, about the protection against missiles - about our reinforcement of air defense. The Russians again applied rockets from North Korea - Balism.

We see data on the spread of Russian-Iranian drone technologies in North Korea-it is as dangerous as possible for Europe and the region of East and Southeast Asia. The longer this war is on our earth, the more combat technologies will change and the more threat will increase. This should be responded now, not when thousands of advanced shamed and ballistic missiles will threaten Seoul and Tokyo. And one more.

Today's Russian blow has damaged ordinary residential buildings in different regions of Ukraine. In Odessa, a maternity hospital was damaged, significant losses at the Odessa Film Studio - decades of history. Even Sofia Kyiv was damaged in the capital - a part of the facade of the cathedral collapsed through an explosive wave. For all people who really know history and who is not alien to Christianity, any even the threat of damage or destruction of Sophia is absolutely unacceptable, catastrophic.
