Dear Ukrainians, Ukrainian women!

Today, our negotiating team is already returning from meetings in America with representatives of President Trump, and tomorrow morning I expect a full report on the prepared documents. A lot of work was done, and above all, documents on security guarantees, as well as 20 points of the main document – the basic framework, which was discussed by the Ukrainian and American delegations. Rustem Umyerov and Andriy Hnatov will report tomorrow.

It is important for the American side to be able to get a response from Russia – the real readiness of this state to focus on something else, not on aggression. Of course, after so many years of initially hybrid war, now full-scale, it is hard to believe that Putin will be able to live without killings and invasions.

But the decrease in the price of Russian oil, strong world sanctions, and the continuation of all other forms of pressure are what will convince even such a stubborn person. putin fights while he has money to buy the loyalty of both his entourage and the russian population and at the same time pay for killings on the front.

And this year, a lot has already been done to reduce the money of the Russian war machine. I am grateful to all our soldiers for deep strikes – now there is a result almost every day. This is especially noticeable in deep strikes against Russian oil exports.

It is good that the European Union, America and other partners are putting pressure on Russian gas and oil exports. Tankers, which Russia uses to finance the war and maintain Putin’s cronies, are increasingly experiencing problems in key water areas.

There will be new world sanctions against tankers and the entire infrastructure of such exports: companies, insurers, captains and crews, of course. We are also preparing our new sanctions packages against various individuals – not only Russian – who work for the aggressor’s defense industry.

And our sanctions proposals are always taken into account by partners. This is one of the priorities of our foreign policy – ​​that Ukrainian sanctions are synchronized with partners. Today, I renewed such tasks for Ukrainian diplomats – I congratulated them on their professional day, and thanked everyone who really works for our foreign policy, for Ukraine to be effective in foreign affairs, because this is now one of the foundations of our defense.

Ukrainian strength is unity with the world, and now we have reached the highest level of this unity. Never before in its history has Ukraine had such support from its partners as at this time. It was not easy to reach such a level, just as it is not easy to keep the world’s attention on Ukraine month after month – despite everything.

We didn’t let Ukraine be forgotten, we didn’t let other topics and problems block our attention to Ukraine. Society The actions of partners support us – our state, our defense, and this is important, it gives us the power of defense.

Today I also had the honor to thank our Ukrainian energy workers – all our heroes, who defeat Russia literally every day with their work. Generation is restored. Supply is being restored. They are restoring normal life for Ukrainians. And indeed, Ukraine can be proud of the expertise of our energy workers. Thank you.

And one more thing.

Today we spoke with the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk. Among other things, I asked Ruslan together with the deputy corps, also together with government officials, with representatives of civil society to prepare proposals for defining new and logical approaches to the holidays and special days of our calendar.

There are bad calendar coincidences – and the war made many such changes. When days of tragedies fall on days of professional holidays. Or when one day from Soviet times and the first years of independence – several completely different professional days. All this should be put in order.

Thanks to everyone who will help. Just as the real Christmas was taken lightly – on December 25 – so other dates should be fair and correct.

Thank you to everyone who works for our state and people!

Glory to Ukraine!
