Putin is lying to the leaders who still talk to him when he says that the occupation contingent reaches some of their goals there - the President's address
The total losses of Russians only within the framework of our Dobropilsk counter -offensive operation are already more than 3 thousand, and most of them are irreversible losses. It was there that the Russians wanted to make one of the significant breakthroughs on the front, but our forces neutralize them. And this is important. Putin is lying to the leaders who are still talking to him when he says that the occupation contingent reaches some of their goals there.
For the first time they are for the first year to come up with more and more reasons why the terms they have defined are constantly being postponed. And this is significant that, despite all that Russia is saying in the world, they still respond only with new assault attempts and new blows to Ukrainian cities, in our infrastructure. Really ill for war, and whether it is possible to cure them is a question.
The only thing that can force this Russian virus to stop is power, strong decisions, strong help. We talked about it in New York with many of our close partners and, of course, we talked to President Trump. President Trump is very well informed about the situation on the front, what Russians do and what they try to deceive everyone. We talk to America about specific things that can stop this war. There are recipes. It is important that what we negotiate.
These days, the Russians continued to strike strokes in our cities - Chernihiv, Kharkiv, region, Odessa region, in the Dnieper region. Constant blows to Donetsk region. Kherson is a very rigid shelling of artillery and bombing. The Russians have to answer all this. Certainly. There were reports on dipstics that are conducting our forces today. The efficiency, production of drones, production of missiles - we will increase production volumes. He ran.
In particular, for contracts in our army - I instructed to increase the contract component. There were also reports of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine and GUR on Russian production of weapons, their industry in general, the fuel complex. We have outlined new tasks. Now is the time that the world sees: Russia has become a state when the war will give more and more problems itself to the Russian system itself, the Russian economy, Russian society.
The critical issue is not to reduce the pressure on Russia for this war. Sanctions, restriction of trade with Russia, restriction of the schemes they use and on which they earn - all this will work. We expect approval of the 19th EU sanctions. We expect the United States steps. We appreciate the position of President Trump on those in Europe who still buys Russian oil and pursues a policy of dependence on Russian schemes.
We hope that in Hungary they will hear a key ally in NATO and respect the President of the United States - now no one in Europe sees such respect from Hungary. America is ready to fill the European market with energy resources so that no one needs to look at Russia. The Middle East is ready to work with Europe. Every nation in Europe can become stronger without Russia. There was a report of our military and, frankly, very strange events on the border between Ukraine and Hungary.
Our military recorded drones, and these were reconnaissance drones. I instructed the military to carry out a full check and next time, if such drones are still, to respond, respectively - for the defense of our country. Ukrainians in Europe are now the best in protecting from any drones. We are ready to share our experience with other nations that need reliable protection against drone threats.
We are talking about this with dozens of countries in Europe, in the Middle East, we have proposed a strong agreement to the United States - one of the most promising. We now see how in Denmark, Norway, the Baltic States are constantly incidents with drones of Russia. According to intelligence, Russia can use tankers to launch these and similar drones - as starting and drone management areas.
And it is not easy to prevent, but realistically, and this must be learned, the appropriate potential must be done. Today, I spoke with Denmark Prime Minister, and just one of the topics of conversation is the exchange of details about drones, for all these incidents-obviously, it is not accidental. Russia tries to process Europe for itself - under its idea of life. And this is such an idea that no Europeans will not like, except those, of course, whom Russia corrupted.
