Russians have to see how serious the world is and how bad the consequences will be for Russia, if the war continues - Presidential appeal

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! He just spoke with Olga Stephanyshina - now the new Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States of America. Formal procedures are completed - today I signed a decree on the appointment of the ambassador. I identified the key tasks for updating our embassy, ​​and most importantly - to fully implement all arrangements from Washington - our arrangements with President Trump, especially in the defense sphere.

In many ways, the long -term guarantee of Ukraine's security depends on relations with America. There are two Ukrainian offers on the table, these are strong suggestions. This is a weapon agreement for Ukraine, it is a modern drone agreement for the United States. And we expect rapid movement in relationships. I am grateful to Oksana Markarov. Oksana represented Ukraine in Washington throughout these years of a full -scale war - a very difficult mission.

And Ukraine has always been heard in the United States. I want to thank for this job. We have already talked about further interaction, and I suggested Oksana Markarov and continue to be in the team - to work for the sake of Ukraine. Today, our diplomatic work is ours - our office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the NSDC - with partners who support the needat at the level of leaders - the format for the end of the war. The level of leaders allows you to talk about key issues - we need this level.

We all see very brazen negative signals from Moscow about negotiations: the Russians are not going to perform what they promised and promised the United States of America, promised others in the world, who insisted on the cessation of murder and on real diplomacy. It is necessary to press. Russia must be forced to real steps. Russia should end the war that has begun, which continues. The answer from them should be. They should be squeezed to the correct answer.

And it depends on America, on all those who consider this war really wrong. We will, for our part, are ready as possible - with sites that are ready to take a meeting and guarantee effective diplomacy. Yesterday, Andrey Yermak and Rustem Umerov were at meetings in Qatar, in particular on mediation. Today there were meetings in Saudi Arabia. I thank you for the support. Tomorrow - meetings in Switzerland. On Friday-the United States of America, New York, meetings with the team of President Trump.

Everyone who works on the content of security guarantees - military, political, and economic components of security guarantees will be involved. The task is to accelerate as much as possible so that it is also a lever - a lever of influence: the Russians should see how serious the world is and how bad the consequences will be for Russia if the war continues. Today I had a report by the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Oleg Ivashchenko, including sanctions.

What are the next steps in sanctions - what specifically Russian legal entities should be blocked, which individuals need pressure, what schemes of bypassing the sanctions are still working. We will pass all this information that is in our external intelligence to partners, especially from the Seven Group. On their part, there is a willingness to strengthen sanctions. And one more.

I want to thank all the repair crews, our energy guns, utilities, rescuers of the SES of Ukraine, our police officers - to all who are involved in the elimination of the consequences of Russian blows. Poltava region, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Dniprovshchyna, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson region - everywhere our services respond, everywhere provide assistance. There were a hit on energy - both yesterday and the night for today. We quickly restore energy. The works are still going.
