I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
There has just been a report by Minister of Defense Umerov on communication and joint work with our partners in Europe: new support packages will be coming, we are also preparing a new security architecture – all the specific details of how a partner security contingent in Ukraine can function. On our part, we will do everything to ensure that political decisions – regarding the contingent – are implemented as swiftly as possible, precisely when the time comes. Today we also had in-depth discussions with our diplomats about our weeks ahead: possible meetings here, in Europe, our work with the United States, and our relations with other countries — with all countries which are strong enough to truly influence diplomacy.
In every part of the world, it must be equally clear that the cause of this war lies solely with Russia. The root of it sits there in Moscow, in the Kremlin; that is why there is still no ceasefire, let alone anything more. It is now 36 days since the United States proposed a full and unconditional halt to strikes in the air, at sea, and on land. Ukraine accepted the proposal immediately over a month ago. Russia continues to ignore it and still feels no consequences; and that is the key problem.
