Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Putin is not really, I think, not ready, but I think I’m confident that with your help, we can stop this war.”

The sheer scale and unrelenting pace of Russia's strikes, specifically against our energy sector, are unfortunately having severe consequences.

We must not give up ground. We must keep trying to end the war. To end it, not give Putin every reason to continue it indefinitely.

We want to end this war as quick as possible. We don’t see now signals from the Russian side that they are ready for this, to end this war. That’s why we have to prepare for the winter.

A decision was unfortunately made in America to completely disregard the Lindsey Graham Act, which was supposed to impose truly effective pressure on Russia to bring this war to an end.
