We are ready as soon as possible, though from now on, move to the ceasefire if Russia is ready for mirror steps - Presidential appeal

  Now no one sees such readiness of Russia - on the contrary, all their internal rhetoric is more mobilization, and Russian propagandists continue to threaten not only Ukraine but also other neighbors - Lithuania, other Baltic countries. Actually, this is what we have been talking about for a long time: without pressure on Moscow, Russia will continue to fight.   Now, of course, economic conditions in Russia are more unfavorable - because of the price of oil: the price has become lower.

But these are not such conditions for Russia to feel the war as a fundamental problem for itself. Therefore, sanctions of the world - sanctions against Russian energy, against banks - can accurately help peace.   We talked about it with partners. We know that our partners have heard us. We approach the actions. We are preparing our sanction packages - in particular, against subjects and schemes in third countries, which, unfortunately, help Russia bypass some of the sanctions.

And we continue to strengthen our defense: we are waiting for significant defensive packages for Ukraine and the decision on further cooperation - cooperation during the war with key countries and in the post -war period. We are preparing a serious basis for reconstruction.   At the same time, we are ready to move to the ceasefire as soon as possible, if Russia is ready for mirror steps - to full silence, for a long silence for at least 30 days.

This is an honest time when you can prepare the following steps. Russia should stop the war and stop the storms, stop shelling.   As of now, the intensity of Russian blows does not indicate anything except the Russian desire to fight. Every night under hundreds of "Shahaned". Only one this week, from Monday to Saturday, more than 950 Russian aviation. Every day intense battles in the Pokrovsky direction, in other Donetsk directions.

We respond throughout the front, as well as in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, where our activity is stored. I thank all our soldiers, thank each of our division for bravery and for sustainability. I thank our guys who increase Ukrainian long -range opportunities - both in the sky and at sea. Brilling was the confusion of a Russian military aircraft from our sea drone - proof of Ukrainian capacity.

Very well, our army conducted an operation on military objects in the Crimea: minus another, second Russian aircraft per day. Military warehouses were also destroyed. Everyone who works for Ukraine to be able to reflect from the occupier, anyone who develops and implements new technological opportunities for Ukraine - I thank you all. I thank those in the world with us, with Ukraine.
