The event denies the sanctions of the Russian Federation, because Ukraine does not mobilize from the age of 18 - Zelensky

He spoke of the war, his attitude towards Prime Minister Victor Orban and the sanctions of the EU and the US against Russia, which would help finish the war. The journalist noted that Ukraine is experiencing difficulties with mobilization, and a recruitment of 18-24-year-olds, which began in February, is not advanced as expected. To which Zelensky replied that mobilization is a problem of any war. And Ukraine is no exception. "People are tired.

We can mobilize 27,000 people a month, and Russians can mobilize 40-50 000 because their losses are higher . . . You are right: now difficult times. We have not mobilized 18-24 years old, but offered them an annual contract. - said Zelensky. He recalled that the special operation of the SBU "Web" showed that not the number of people, but weapons and technology, as well as money and pressure on the aggressor. "Sanctions will be directed to the same money that the Russians use to finance war.

Western partners list the reasons why they did not dare to sanctions because Ukraine has not mobilized from the age of 18. We have given the opportunity to 18-24 years old that they can serve, if they want our partners. Without proper weapons, "Zelensky said. The President of Ukraine reminded that he had already spoken to US President Donald Trump about it in February 2025 and explained to him how he could influence Putin: "Here is a package of weapons, rockets. We have a key to them.

Agree to the ceasefire, otherwise we will give the key to Ukrainians. " "Not only America, but other countries must say: stop fighting, or we will give Ukraine weapons. The Russian people may not dare to oppose the war, but it is probably scared that rockets can be directed to it. And then Putin should deal with his own people. It would be a" peace.

" He said that the people of Ukraine hope that strong countries will gradually open their eyes, and their societies encourage them to make strong decisions. And Hungary also applies to Hungary. The journalist joked that Viktor Orban in the third place after Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko in the ranking of the most unpopular politicians among Ukrainians.

Zelensky said that the position of Orban does not reflect the position of Hungary in general and in this the difference between Hungary and Russia, because Putin's position in Russia is identical to the position of his society. "Victor's politics, unfortunately, anti -Ukrainian. And anti -European. He uses it in his domestic policy: he wants to return the war in Ukraine for his favor. What is wrong.
