Moscow does not understand words, but must feel the power of the President’s address

I wish you good health, dear Ukrainians!

Briefly about today.

The bet is several questions. The report on Syria after Assad and after Russia is there. Correct development of the situation. It is important that the world works together now to bring peace to Syria and the entire region as soon as possible, to restore stability there and to make it easier for us to stop this war, Russia’s war against Ukraine. Weaken Russia. Weaken for the sake of the approach of peace, reliable, just.

He instructed our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work more actively to establish all the necessary contacts with the representatives of the people of Syria and to correct Assad’s mistakes regarding Ukraine and all of Europe. For our part, we will help Syria get through this time – we will support food security. This is our moral advantage – Ukraine helps many countries to ensure the normality of life, in particular through food security. We need this region, like any other region of the world, to be stable and peaceful.

I spoke today with British Prime Minister Starmer. I am grateful for Britain’s support and willingness to continue to help. We discussed investments in our defense production, as well as the supply of weapons. We also discussed the pressure on Russia for war, and we especially appreciate the sanctions against Russian tankers, the shadow fleet that provides Putin with money for the war. All such tankers should be subject to sanctions, and not only European ports should be protected from them. Now everyone sees the consequences of the disaster in the Black Sea – fuel oil polluting the coast. Russia uses extremely old vessels – 50 years old – uses anything to make money. This is a full-scale threat – both from the point of view of financing the war, and from the point of view of damage to nature. No sea in the world – neither the Black Sea nor the Sea of ​​Azov, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea – no sea deserves all this damage from the Russian presence. Currently, fuel oil in the Black Sea is a problem of the people themselves, and Putin is not doing anything, he is only interested in his old “Areshniks” and other madness. It is necessary to do everything possible to force Russia to real peace as soon as possible and to take responsibility for everything it has done. I thank everyone who helps us in this.

Chief of Staff Syrskyi reported on the front and on the regions of the Kursk operation. There are already more than 3,000 wounded and killed North Korean soldiers in Kurshchyna. Russia simply disposes of them in assaults. Why Koreans should fight for Putin, no normal person on earth will answer. And, unfortunately, the world is doing almost nothing to counter the criminal collaboration between Russia and North Korea. Although it is a threat to every state – and next to the Korean Peninsula, to China, to others, as well as to states in our region and anywhere in the world. The fact that Moscow transfers military technology to North Korea and helps the regime in Pyongyang abuse the people and keep part of the Korean people in slavery in one family. When this happens, you realize that the words of those who call on Russia not to expand the war and not to make the situation worse are of little value. Moscow does not understand words. But she should feel strong. Peace is possible through strength. And we will do everything to achieve peace.

One more thing. Regarding Slovakia.

Many questions from journalists today about Fitso’s trip to Moscow. In fact, after our conversation in Brussels in the presence of all European leaders, nothing is surprising. We are fighting for life, Fico is fighting for money, and hardly money for Slovakia. Shady agreements with Putin are either trading in state interests or working for one’s own pocket. We gave him a proposal regarding possible compensation for the Slovaks – specifically for the Slovaks – losses from Russian transit, and regarding transit alternatives – any other gas, not Russian, at the request of the European Commission. We were ready to do it. Fico did not want compensation for the Slovaks. And does not want to cooperate with the European Commission. For some reason, it is more profitable for him in Moscow. Everyone in Europe understands why. There are no those who do not understand.

All the countries of Europe need to work together for the security of each people.

Glory to Ukraine!
