Need strong pressure on Russia to take even the first steps before the end of the war - the President

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has participated in the online meeting of countries in support of Ukraine. The leaders and representatives of the states, the European Union and NATO were present. The summit was co-sponsored by the United Kingdom Prime Minister Kir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron. The President of Ukraine noted that on March 11, the US proposal was made for a complete unconditional 30-day ceasefire. During this time, all aspects of true peace could be discussed.

But Russia does everything to prevent this, spreads the lie of the complexity of ceasefire and the situation on the battlefield. “It is a war of Russia - more than three years of full -scale fighting and destruction. To stop this, active pressure is required, not just negotiations - pressure on Russia. Determined measures are needed to take at least the first steps to end the war.

These include sanctions - sanctions against Russia should not only be stored but also strengthening, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized. The President also urged the partners to form a clear position on security guarantees, continue working on contingents, and determine the obligation on how it will work, as well as accelerate and increase defense production and strengthen air defense in Ukraine and Europe. “A very bad signal is to listen to the Russians's opinion on the contingent.
