Russia should continue to feel quite fair losses due to its aggression - the President's appeal

There was no military meaning in this blow, absolutely nothing Russia added in military plan. It is conscious terror, the same as the Russian army for Putin everywhere: from Chechnya to Syria. This is the only thing that Putin and his Russia are able to do really qualitatively - to kill and destroy. And this is the plane that unites Russia with modes such as in Iran or North Korea.

Now Russia is trying to save the Iranian nuclear program - otherwise their public signals and non -public activity cannot be interpreted. When one of their accomplices loses the opportunity to export war, Russia suffers and tries to intervene. It's so cynical. And it proves again and again that it is impossible to allow aggressive modes to unite and become partners.

When Iranian Shakhda is now significantly modernized - and Ballistics from North Korea - also modernized - killing our people in Ukraine, this is an obvious sign that global solidarity and global pressure are not enough. The sanctions should be significantly strengthened. It is necessary to significantly enhance our interaction - interaction, in particular technological, all those in the world who protects life. This is what agreed with partners the day before in Canada at the Seven Summit.

And we will talk about it next week in other formats of our interaction in Europe, in particular within the coalition. He held a meeting on sanctions today. A very important meeting. I instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, intelligence and the whole team of our country to offer partners new formats of sanction work. And it will be.

He also instructed to intensify everything that is necessary for the synchronization of sanctions - partners' sanctions against Russia in our jurisdiction and Ukrainian sanctions - in the jurisdictions of the world. The task is obvious: everything that reduces the Russian ability to finance war, while increasing the chance of real peace. There were also meetings with our military and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine: Syrsky, Hnatov, Palis, Umerov.

Separately - with the team of the Security Service of Ukraine and General Gorbatyuk on dipstrace. Russia should continue to feel quite fair losses due to its aggression. I thank all our soldiers, I thank each of our subdivisions, who provides it. Today, I signed a decree on the appointment of the Commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - brigade General Gennady Shapovalov, who performed the task in Visbaden in Germany, and it was coordination with our partners in NATO.

All the positive coordination experience and all the real combat experience of our soldiers should now be implemented in the Land Forces of Ukraine. Changes are required and this is a must. And one more. The return of Ukrainians from Russian captivity. For the fifth time in a few weeks. Guys from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, our border service. Many of them have been captured since the 22nd year, in particular since the defense of Mariupol.

We have to return and be sure to return all of our boys. We work for each last name. Everyone needs to exchange for everyone - that every family will wait for their own. To avoid any ultimatum. A real ceasefire is required. The real end of the war is needed. Ukraine is ready to meet at the highest level - this is the level of decisions.
