It is necessary to act right now not to give Russia and its accomplices to adapt to our capabilities - the Presidential Appeal

I wish health, dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women! Now we are preparing for the new negotiations that will happen this week. We will continue to represent our European partners our strategy for coercive Russia to peace. The teams of our country and the teams of the leaders of our partners, who have already presented the Victory Plan, continue to work on details - they need common steps, and these should be strong steps. There are some additional questions that we have to agree with partners.

But all the necessary potential has partners, and it is absolutely realistic - to strengthen the position of our country, to strengthen Ukraine's position as it is necessary for honest peace. And right now we need to act not to give Russia and its accomplices to adapt to our capabilities. We see that the alliance between Russia and the regimes such as in North Korea is growing. It's not just about the transfer of weapons.

It is actually about the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupier's military forces. Obviously, in such circumstances, our relationships with partners need development. The front needs more support. When we talk about more farminess for Ukraine and a more decisive delivery for our strength, it is not just a list of military means. It's about increasing the pressure on the aggressor that will be stronger for Russia than they can withstand. And this is about preventing a greater war.

True peace can only be achieved through power, and all next week will be dedicated to working with our partners - for the sake of such power, for the sake of true peace. Teams will work. There will be work with the leaders as well. We are very honorable that decision making will not be delayed. Our Ukrainian warriors, all our people proved that Ukraine is able to achieve even what seemed impossible for someone. We have repeatedly changed the course of this war, to the best changed.

Ukrainians are able to fight and are able to knock out the future for their state, their people, for all of us. We have to do it now. I'm proud of our people. And our people deserve enough help and just peace. I want to thank our combat brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine now, who have shown themselves best this week. The Pokrovsky direction is the 38th separate brigade of the Marines. Kurakhiv direction-79th Brigade of DShv. The Vremiv direction is the 425th separate assault battalion.
