For us today, the decision of the leaders of the European Union to allocate an interest-free loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine is an important victory. It was very difficult for us without these funds. In any case, it is tied to Russian reparations. And these are important steps. The fact that European leaders found such a format, the fact that our team worked together with Europe on a positive solution. For us, this is an increase. This is a signal to the “Russians” that it makes no sense for them to continue fighting, because we are supported financially, which means that we will not be scattered at the front. We will support our army and our people. Our budget was supported by 45 billion in the 26th year. It is from this money. There are no positive results in war, but today it is an important positive signal for our society and a sharp signal for the enemy.

The transfer of “Oreshnik” to the territory of Belarus is completed. We understand where the accommodation will be. We pass the information on to our partners. Partners themselves can assess this threat and understand how to respond to it. Prior to that, we warned our European and American partners that Russia would place “Oreshnik” on the territory of Belarus. We showed the distance at which Oreshnik will operate. This is a threat to many European countries, including Poland, Germany and other countries.

It is impossible to shoot down “Oreshnik” with drones today. They used “Oreshnik” on the territory of Ukraine. We understand how to deal with it. We have requested that our partners apply sanctions against companies located both on the European continent and on other continents, and which sell components suitable for “Oreshnik” through third countries. I do not see the introduction of these sanctions. For now, we believe that Russia will continue to produce Oreshnik. We understand the number of systems.

They do it for a reason. My question is logical enough. If our partners – the USA and others – are making a lot of diplomatic efforts to end the war, can they put the same pressure on Russia not to place “Oreshnik” closer to Europe, to the borders with Poland? I believe that this should be done.
