Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “talks between leaders is the most effective way forward”

We discussed this at a high level with the German side. They are well aware that Ukraine did not stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation,

We believe it will not take place in the central cities. But I don't think they will be able to hide it very well.

The Russian side acknowledges that its Black Sea Fleet ships are also effectively blocked in Novorossiysk thanks to our drone strikes and are unable to operate at sea.

I will explain to you how it works. So this year we have two and a half times less interceptors than we had in 2025 first. Russia has two times more ballistic missiles per month than they had before.
