Moscow is determined to continue its aggression. They want nothing else there. That is why they are.

Moscow is determined to continue its aggression. They want nothing else there. That is why they are trying to increase their defense production, and specifically by circumventing sanctions. That is why they are increasingly engaging North Korea as an ally, and any day now their soldiers may appear on the battlefield fighting against Ukraine. Ukraine will be forced to actually fight against North Korea in Europe. These are the conditions when the lack of partners' stronger decisions in support of Ukraine only encourages Putin to invest further in terror.

The world is capable of stopping the war from unfolding. Abstractions and words are not enough for this – concrete steps are needed. We have provided all such steps in the Victory Plan. Something that will prevent further aggression by the culprits of the war. We expect the necessary increase in pressure on Russia. We expect more support for Ukraine. This will be only fair.

And the time that passes while there are no decisions – unfortunately, this translates to constant Russian strikes and constant losses of our lives. Next week will be the time of our very intense work with partners, first of all, to support our warriors, warriors at the front, and to implement our strategy of forcing Russia to end the war. We are preparing major signals of support.
