Key steps to derail the aggressor’s plans
The Russians are waging a campaign of terror against our energy system; they truly want to turn the coming winter into a tool of torment and pressure on Ukraine, our people, and our defense
According to the president, a number of measures must be taken to prevent such enemy plans from succeeding.
First: air defense. Today we spoke in detail with our partners about (additional – ed.) systems. It is important that our partners focus on what is most practical and effective
Second, according to him, is to meet the front’s needs.
And third: we are promoting a more substantive approach to diplomacy. Diplomacy only matters when it can lead to real solutions
Also, Zelensky urged partners to impose sanctions on Russia, ensure accountability for war crimes by the Russian Federation, provide Ukraine with long-range weapons, and grant access to frozen Russian assets. According to him, the more losses Putin suffers on his own territory, the less chance of an assault by the aggressor and the quicker meaningful diplomacy can emerge.
